This should be national news. Has it been mentioned in the NYTs?

Lots of this going on.. maybe this is how it will happen. County sheriffs with citizen posses confronting hordes of "it all counts toward 30" federal GS thugs -- probably including a lot of recently converted ILLEGAL alien citizens recruited by the Obama Administration.

No matter how it happens the military is going to have to choose sides.

‘We are prepared to trade our lives....’

The President and the collectivists may actually take them up on that.

""We are prepared to trade our lives in defense of the constitution of the United States," says Summit County Sheriff David Edmunds. "

 

Screen got blurry there for a sec. Must be old age. God Bless Sheriff Edmunds.

Who is the holdout 29th UT County Sheriff? Why is he holding out?

I love these guys. The more people that take a public stand like this, the less likely it is to come to a physical fight.

“We, like you, swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and we are prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation.”

I couldn’t be more proud of these Sheriffs....God bless them all.

I am sure there is a huge silent group that are irked by this and are ready to step up and pull a trigger at these imbeciles we call leaders. In the voting booth.

I remember reading that,duringProhibition,many local/State LEO’s thought “It’s a Federal problem,let the Feds enforce it”. The Utah sheriffs saying they won’t allow it could have the effect of taking things to the next level if Fed.gov, in their hubris, decides to call them on it.

What I’m trying to say is is “not allowing” is not passive. It,in this case,involves that one will take active steps to prevent the other party from carrying out their intentions. Which, in,this case,is Fed.gov acting under “Color of Law”. I guess everyone here can see what it could lead to.

Just in case anybody’s wondering, I support the Utah Sheriffs in this.

Here is the reply I got from Florida Senator Bill Nelson:
Seems like its just all about hunting to Bill.

Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx:

Thank you for contacting me about policy proposals that seek to reduce gun violence in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown.

I am a hunter and have always owned guns, and I support the Second Amendment.

But assault weapons such as AK 47s are intended for killing, not hunting.

Solutions for reducing gun violence must address many areas, from protecting law enforcement and keeping weapons out of the hands of criminals, to school safety, access to mental health services, and confronting a culture that sometimes glorifies violence.

I support reinstating the assault weapons ban and restoring the 10-round limit for ammunition magazines. And, I support universal background checks so that we can know if person buying a weapon has a criminal record.

I appreciate hearing your views on this very important issue, and I will keep them in mind. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,
Bill Nelson
