Law would fire sheriffs for defying gun control measures
Washington Examiner ^ | March 27, 2013 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 03/27/2013 1:04:06 PM PDT by Free in Texas

Supporters of the 380 sheriffs in 15 states who so far have vowed to defy new state and federal gun control laws claim that legislation is starting to pop up around the nation to fire any state elected or appointed law enforcement official who doesn't obey federal orders.

The first effort emerged in Texas. Legislation proposed by Dallas Democratic Rep. Yvonne Davis would remove any sheriff or law enforcement officer who refuses to enforce state or federal laws.

What's more, it would remove any elected or appointed law enforcement officer for simply stating or signing any document stating that they will not obey federal orders.

A gun lobbyist told Secrets, "Beware because once something like this is introduced in one state, it will be followed very quickly in several other states."

Secrets has charted the growing group of sheriffs opposed to new gun control initiatives. They argue that citizens should be allowed by buy the types of weapons they want to defend themselves. They also claim that there is no way to tell the difference between old rifle and pistol magazines and new ones that President Obama wants to ban.

I just glanced at that - seems to apply equally to immigration laws, and other laws.

So what’s the deal?

Remove liberals who ignore immigration laws. Now.

Back at ya, Yvonne. Any state legislator, governor or bureaucrat who refuses to support the US Constitution is removed from office, charged with treason and hanged.

But just who does she think will “fire” those bullets? Once the “firerors” are known, their families will be toast!

True, but nobody ever claimed liberals can think more than one or two squares down the chess board.

So when is it a local responsibility to enforce State or Federal laws? Seems to me that in Arizona, the Feds went to court to prohibit the State from enforcing Federal immigration laws the Feds don't want enforced. How can the Feds have it both ways?

And just who is going to physically remove a sheriff from his position?

Particularly if every veteran of military service in his county is a deputy/ posse member.every adult voter in the county who is willing to be sworn to support the U.S. Constitution.

If our Second Amendment rights are eliminated, so are theirs under the Sixth.

Somebody get me some rope.

There are over a million sites in response to search for “Molon Labe” and a less than 7% of those in response to a search for “Molon Lave”.

For decades, more likely centuries, B has been used a the english script character for Beta.

I wish you luck in your quest to change that to a “V”. I suspect you will need it.

Cheers

Olde English. Vs were used for the B sound, Fs for the S, etc. I suspect when spelling was upgraded the greek phrase’s v was converted to a b with all the rest of ‘em.

A rofe by any other name is still a rofe.

V is the letter used in English for the ‘v’ sound. Do you have a point? You just sound like an idiot arguing this point. There are almost as many websites that use the spelling molon lave as use molon labe.

The question is ‘why did you start?’ Spelling is decided by democratic vote now? Well, that’s very Greek of you. Almost as many websites use molon lave so that argument is meaningless for both sides. Both spellings are acceptable. But I don’t have to change anything all I have to do is use the same transliteration as most Greeks do.

Sigh....

Because ever Greek - English letter chart I have ever seen looks like the chart above, B not V for Beta. And I have never seen "Molon Lave" until you posted it.

So, you're not really done then?

I have used Molon Lave for years in dozens of posts as have dozens of other FReepers. As do many others as my posts have shown including explanations by native Greeks. In all of these, over a decade, this is the first time anyone has made an issue of it. Did "Shotgun" Joe issue a talking points memo on this yesterday?

You asked a question, I thought it was rude to ignore it.

I'll do better from this point.

Have a nice day.
