From Florida to California, a growing number of the nation's sheriffs
are standing up to gun control measures proposed by both the
administration and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
Many law enforcement officials have written letters to President Barack
Obama and Vice President Joe Biden voicing their concerns over what
they believe is an effort to infringe upon the Second Amendment.
In New Mexico, 30 of the state's 33 county sheriffs
have reminded state lawmakers that they are under oath to support the
U.S. Constitution, and that includes the Second Amendment.
CNSNews.com previously reported that 28 of the 29 sheriff's in Utah sent a letter to President Obama stating that they will not enforce any new gun laws they believe to be unconstitutional.
A host of Oregon sheriffs have said that they will not comply with any new unconstitutional gun regulations:
Sheriff Craig Zanni wrote, "I
have and will continue to uphold my Oath of Office including
supporting the Second Amendment," in a letter to Coos County citizens.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said he would refuse to enforce any new Federal gun law he believes is unconstitutional.'
