n an opinion requested by Kershaw County Sheriff Jim Matthews, SC Attorney General Allan Wilson suggest that if federal gun confiscation was ordered that neither state law nor state law officials may interfere or otherwise impede federal law enforcement officers as they perform their lawful duties.
Sighting many examples of case-law (incremental social engineering by the use of precedent to move public policy) Wilson makes the case for federal supremacy, when and if the federal government should choose to enforce, whatever law that is passed. The seven page opinion was prompted when concerned residents asked the sheriff if he would take their guns if federal law required it. “A lot of sheriffs want to be able to fall back on what the AG says on what we lawfully have to do or don’t have to do,” Matthews said in a State paper interview. The report also states Matthews said it’s pretty clear that sheriffs do not enforce federal laws, and he doesn’t believe that he can stop federal agents from coming into his county to enforce them.
With this opinion by the SCAG, state law enforcement will not stand in the way of gun confiscation.

VERY BAD MOJO!!
ReplyDeleteSo all these sheriff's (in almost all cases) can safely state to the citizens of their respective county's that THEY will not come to seize/confiscate private property (firearms, etc.) But they can't legally stop, and so won't block any efforts by the Fed's from doing such. They needed an out, now they have it. The federal thugs will come into their counties, murder their citizens.... and the state/local LEA will stand down and watch it happen as the sounds of gunfire and flash bangs fill the air.....
This is really going to be very ugly!
I found this in Spam. At any rate, they are treading upon a most dangerous slope.
DeleteHey Brock FYI... I was posting to this article when "Blogger" popped up to notify me that someone else was trying to edit my post, and therefore could not upload my comments at that time. I sent it again and it showed up as "accepted", but now seems to not have posted at all... Strange huh?
ReplyDeleteIndeed, must be Yankees........:)

He can kiss my ruddy red rectum. If these useful idiots really believe that Americans will willfully submit their guns, they are sadly mistaken and will be in a dangerous situation.
DeleteAnother spineless politician show's the white feather at the mere sight of Obama's shadow.
ReplyDeleteA pathetic POS.
DeleteRemembering a poem from way back,
ReplyDelete"By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set to-day a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
And now I must find the answer to the obvious question, "Was there no elected or appointed Sheriff to defend those farmers from the King's soldiers?"
Even more pressing is how many we might have today.
DeleteMore than most want to know of that famous night in 1775. There were really three riders, Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott and there was a crude version of the Internet to herald their approach, far more complex than a lantern in a church tower. From Wikipedia:
ReplyDelete"The ride of Revere, Dawes, and Prescott triggered a flexible system of "alarm and muster" that had been carefully developed months before, in reaction to the colonists' impotent response to the Powder Alarm. This system was an improved version of an old network of widespread notification and fast deployment of local militia forces in times of emergency. The colonists had periodically used this system all the way back to the early years of Indian wars in the colony, before it fell into disuse in the French and Indian War. In addition to other express riders delivering messages, bells, drums, alarm guns, bonfires and a trumpet were used for rapid communication from town to town, notifying the rebels in dozens of eastern Massachusetts villages that they should muster their militias because the regulars in numbers greater than 500 were leaving Boston, with possible hostile intentions. This system was so effective that people in towns 25 miles (40 km) from Boston were aware of the army's movements while they were still unloading boats in Cambridge.[29] These early warnings played a crucial role in assembling a sufficient number of colonial militia to inflict heavy damage on the British regulars later in the day. Adams and Hancock were eventually moved to safety, first to what is now Burlington and later to Billerica.[30]"
Alarm and Muster. Has a nice ring to it.
I have only found one reference to a High Sheriff in that year and he was definitely the King's man, not the people's.
Impressive and let's hope many sheriff's today are not the Tyrant's man.
DeleteMr. T....you have to look no further than the San Bernadino sheriff to get an idea of where many sheriffs will be....certainly not on the side of the rule of law.
Deletenot on the side of the rule of law.
DeleteI am sure, but hopefully they will find out that they made a very bad mistake.
