Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Where do the Sheriffs and Chiefs stand now

Back when we had Trump in office it was pretty easy to stand up and be a flag waver. To wrap yourself in Patriotism and the flag and tell all of your constituents that you would not support gun control measures, or confiscation.

It was very easy, because there was not a Socialist in the Whitehouse.

Pretty easy way to get votes and get the public on your side.



Now everything has changed.

Biden has made it clear that they plan for massive registration and confiscation.


ARs get registered as NFA items or turned in.

Magazines either get turned in or registered as NFA items.

It is obvious where this is heading.

Since the election, I have not heard a single PEEP from a Sheriff or Chief of Police about protecting our 2nd Amendment rights.

Suddenly they are super quiet..

Times to start asking them publicly what they intend to do, and whos side they are on.

None of this "Fair Weather Friend" BS.

Lets see them come out in public and choose a side.

That's a great idea.

Great idea.

Can't speak for my Sherriff, you can't judge until
The pressure comes to bear.

But I do know he opened his office for CCL holders, to
renew or get permits, while King Wolf's forced closure was
in place.


A promising sign.

But he is just a figurehead.
A 10 man force is nothing when the rule of law is thrown out the door.

They will likely be the ones asked to enforce the confiscation and all that entails.

I'm guessing none of them really want to go door to door.

Right now - they don't need to take a stand. No sense telegraphing what you'll do or not to the admin asking you to do it.

Would not be surprised if the admin asks for UN "peace keepers" to help with an insurrection that requires them to go door/door - no PD has the ability to hold that off, even the ones with APCs. They'll have help of course.

All politics is local and even more so for local LEO.

Chiefs of Police and Sheriffs are politicians. They also receive big $$$$ from the Federal Govt. All Biden/Harris need to say to them is, "Get in step with us and do as we order you, or you'll not receive one penny from us for your department."

Simple as that.

L.W.

There is another way: "We can't do that. I took an oath to the Constitution, and it states clearly that possessing and owning weapons of war is a right, so we have no jurisdiction to enforce such a law, and you have no power to make it."

“What will your department do if you get a call that an alphabet agency is kicking in doors and confiscating guns from law abiding gun owners in your locale?” Will you protect your constituents from the feds?” Interesting question to pose to a sheriff, or governor.

Gotta think about that .gov money.

Or, worse, being accused of “sedition”, which seems to be the left’s new favorite word......

We have a new liberal black dhimmicrat sheriff. He hates guns. Our liberal black dhimmicrat police chief hates guns.

How many 'unknown' AR's are out there?
can't a person still purchase an 80% lower or some such and finish themselves?

I think that is why it is key to take over the county commissioner, etc. positions. Make the County gov swear off Federal funding, make sure they answer to us and not DC.

You might be "Thin Blue Line" or you might be "ACAB", but the fact is that the police are only as good as who's in charge of them. Make sure it's us.

It ALL starts locally.

They stand where they always have, right behind their pensions and power, whatever it takes.

They're politicians or political whores, by and large, nothing more. When people finally realize they're Pauley & Momo for the State...well...nothing will ever change, I'm afraid.

I think they’d be more amenable to Trump supporters if the MAGAs were not seen beating LEOs with Trump flags and fire extinguishers and dragging them down stairs of the Capitol...

THIS.
Here in Cumberland County, the sheriff is VERY anti-gun. Gets re-elected time after time.

Because that happened....

If you don't hold him to his oath, no one will.

The hall monitor chimes in.

It will sure put the Constitutional Sheriffs to the test.

I'm GTG down here. We have a good one.

Why rely on others to do what we'll have to do ourselves. If the elected people in my area turn tail and run does that mean I'm not able to do something about the problem? I'm not being critical on anyone here but I see way too many people hoping someone else takes up our cause for us. Men we need to stand together or we won't stand at all. I've been in situations where one lone voice motivated many to do what they felt they couldn't get done. Be that voice. 56 men did that for us in 1776!
