Colorado Sheriffs refuses to uphold newly passed gun laws
[quote]olorado’s package of gun laws, enacted this year after mass shootings in Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn., has been hailed as a victory by advocates of gun control. But if Sheriff Cooke and a majority of the other county sheriffs in Colorado offer any indication, the new laws — which mandate background checks for private gun transfers and outlaw magazines over 15 rounds — may prove nearly irrelevant across much of the state’s rural regions.
Some sheriffs, like Sheriff Cooke, are refusing to enforce the laws, saying that they are too vague and violate Second Amendment rights. Many more say that enforcement will be “a very low priority,” as several sheriffs put it. All but seven of the 62 elected sheriffs in Colorado signed on in May to a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the statutes.
The resistance of sheriffs in Colorado is playing out in other states, raising questions about whether tougher rules passed since Newtown will have a muted effect in parts of the American heartland, where gun ownership is common and grass-roots opposition to tighter restrictions is high.

I own pre modern guns so I only have one bullet, black powder, and a ramrod. Doesn't affect me as much.

2 commentairesI commend the cops for standing up for PROTECTING people's constitutional rights. Just because some idiots shoot people does not mean we should make every gun-owners life worse. I hate when people get overly emotional and think that these restrictions will actually stop criminals when they don't care about the law.

I find it quite funny how many of the Sheriff's pushing to ignore the new gun laws are also secessionists who want to form a 51st state with their countries. Smart.

If I want to sell my gun to my neighbor, I should be able to without government involvement. Also, magazine size is somewhat a grey area for me. Yes I can see why, but I don't think it will help all that much. As their are already thousands of them around the country. And all I have to do is carry multiple magazines on me and problem solved.

Fire all 55 of them and hire new ones.

4 commentairesThis is outrageous. These magazine bans are required so the shooter can stop, reload, and continue shooting.

5 commentairesI expected this. We live in too polarized society. This is what happens when the right-leaning Sheriffs are being led by someone to far the the left. Eventually something like this happens. When it comes to gun control, the only thing needed is a thorough background check and records of who bought which guns, and what guns were used in crimes. I just want the psychos ID'd early on, and who is buying guns only to have them "stolen" (IE sold to a criminal, and reported stolen). Close any and all loopholes where guns can change hands (ie Private Sales and Gun Shows) Then let anyone own anything not classified as a WMD.

13 commentairesI don't see why background checks are such a 'muh freedoms' issue. Surely giving someone the once over to check to see if they are foaming at the mouth and ready to shoot up a public building is common sense.

I don't care about school shootings, I only care about ma guns and freedom with ma guns. 'Murica

They should not be able to limit mag size but BCs are a good idea.

4 commentairesHuh. What kinda sheriff does that?

25 commentairesHopefully they get replaced by people willing to do their job. If this man is unwilling to follow the law he is supposed to enforce, why should he keep his job?

3 commentaires[quote]Some sheriffs, like Sheriff Cooke, are refusing to enforce the laws, saying that they are too vague and violate Second Amendment rights.[/quote]Then they should be reprimanded for not doing their job. The executive branch of government (that includes the police force for those who don't know) doesn't get to decide what laws are in place. The executive branch exists to [i]enforce[/i] laws. They don't get to decide whether they want them or not or they're in effect. That's up to the legislative branch (and sometimes judiciary through interpretation). I'll let you in on a little secret too. When one branch of government decides it wants to have more powers than it should (like in this case), it's one of the few legitimate and accurate times where you can be concerned about tyranny. In fact, the [google]separation of powers[/google]* exists to prevent it. * Also known as some of [i]"that other stuff in the US constitution nobody seems to give a shit about"[/i]

Good, 'Murca.

Good for them.

5 commentairesSo people would rather have people shot because they don't think background checks should be a thing? These types of people deserve to be shot.

1 commentaire[quote]mandate background checks for private gun transfers and outlaw magazines over 15 rounds [/quote] [quote]saying that they are too vague[/quote] I don't know about these Sheriffs, but I understood what "mandate" meant back when I was in middle school, so I don't see how it's vague.

These are the men that I want in charge of protecting my community.
