Push back: Now a Mississippi sheriff has vowed not to enforce any federal gun control laws that violate the second amendment.
A dozen sheriffs, all in Missouri, have told the Obama administration that they will not enforce any regulations that violate the second amendment.
I like this quote from the letter of one sheriff:
It appears to me and many Americans that there is a genuine desire on the part of your administration to restrict the Second Amendment rights of law abiding American citizens in the interest of curbing gun violence in our nation. Any attempt to restrict these Second Amendment rights through executive order is unconstitutional and tantamount to an all-out assault on the United States Constitution.
Another local sheriff, this time in Alabama, says he will not enforce any gun regulations that he thinks violate the second amendment.
Update: A South Carolina sheriff has joined the growing crowd.
