The Sheriff is correct in questioning the law. Conviction first, punishment later.

I saw the headline, and thought: ,”What a sheriff actually protecting the constitution?”

I don't think the sheriff would have gone after this if it didn't affect him personally.

There are few Americans who support 2A more than me (yes,I am from Massachusetts) but I,like many (most?),think that there are some people who should be denied access to firearms...in some cases temporarily,in some permanently. I think that having been indicted for resisting a police officer might qualify for "temporary".

And all you Freepers who cry "no restrictions on gun ownership!" can save it....I've heard it all before.

This is just a red flag law variant.

If someone is a threat to themselves or others, they need to be locked up.

And you can be locked up awaiting trial (with bond).

Indictment is not conviction. The Sixth Amendment insures a defendant’s right to a speedy trial. Striking down this law might reinforce the Sixth Amendment.
