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!
I agree, Jim. And because there is a lot of money on the line in terms of pensions and Federal funding, I don't trust Sheriffs anymore than other police.
Upton Sinclair said it well: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
Ours stands behind us, us behind him. He led the "charge" to Richmond for the rally. Was going to deputize us all if needed.

In 2019 Scott made headlines by promising to deputize thousands of law-abiding citizens in the face of proposed unconstitutional gun control legislation. His principled stand, as well as his untiring commitment to protecting our Second Amendment, helped lead to the defeat of one of the most overreaching gun-control bills proposed by the Democrat Virginia legislature in the 2020 session. His fight for our God-given rights, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment, continues.
Very 2 A and just a great guy. We're lucky while he's here. An oddity in NOVA.
Sheriffs take an oath to uphold and protect the Constitutions of their State and the Union. Chiefs are political appointees and serve at the pleasure of they Mayors.
Big difference and the People ought to hold them accountable.

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.
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.
Not any more, it isn't. The feds have intruded into all aspects of our lives.
Don't expect LEO to do the Constitutional thing. It's a sad day.
TV has become nothing more than the Petri dish where this country grows its idiots.
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...
If you actually believe this BS, and you are ex LEO, sounds like you will be volunteering to help disarm door to door?

The liberal mind is an endless black hole of stupidity.

Sadly, you should. Look what's happened to Boise and the upper panhandle, and it's just starting.
I agree with those places and how there changing but here in Central Idaho I feel confident there will be no issues 2nd amendment wise here in my lifetime..If so,so be it...It is what it is and each and everyone of us will have to deal with it as we see fit..We all have choices...
What I think is going to happen is that folks around the country are eventually going to have to decide if they want to do the same thing dope smokers did when dope was a felony everywhere or alcohol drinkers did during Prohibition.
Fwiw, my opinion is that Every Good Citizen should stringently obey every single law passed by our benevolent government because they know what's best for us.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

That's what I always thought about free and open Nevada. We're bluer than Bill Clinton's balls now.

If they go through with the so called assault rifle ban /buy back/tax etc,there going to make criminals out of law abiding citizens...Then it will be up to the local law whether to enforce or ignore...

Nope.
If it's a federal law our locals are out of the loop. BATF will ratchet up and be beating in doors.
