Early last year, as Americans feared that the federal government would enact unconstitutional anti-gun measures via executive edict, support for the Constitution came from some unlikely places. Even in Oregon, a Democrat stronghold in elections, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller flat-out declared that he and his office would refuse to enforce any such unconstitutional federal laws or regulations.
Mueller wrote,
“We are Americans. We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws.”
Mueller later stated,
“We’re restricted and prohibited from enforcing all types of federal laws, including immigration laws. It would be unreasonable for anyone to think that I would enforce a federal firearms law.”
I don’t think this was the smartest thing to express to the feds. Somethings you should just keep some thoughts to yourself.

Not so, the government needs to relearn their place. Sheriffs are the only legal police mentioned according to the Constitution, because they are elected by the people.

too bad the police usually have their own agendas rather than to serve and protect.

look up SCOTUS ruling Castle Rock vs Gondolas… the police are not there to protect, that is television programing people.
