UTAH SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION TO OBAMA: FROM OUR COLD DEAD HANDS
BREITBART ^ | March 31, 2013 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 03/31/2013 8:46:54 PM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER

As sheriffs across the nation signal opposition to enforcing additional federal gun regulations, the Utah Sheriffs' Association sent a letter to President Obama assuring him that its members similarly will not comply. The letters insists that the rights of Utah citizens trump any new gun control measure that Congress might pass, and sheriffs in Utah are prepared to trade their lives in defense of their constituents' right to keep and bear arms.

So what is Utah going to do about the lone holdout in Salt Lake County? Just further evidence that big cities are Marxist crap holes, Even Salt Lat City!

As to Salt Lake City is, to paraphrase something by Han Solo, You will never find a more wreched hive of Scum and Villainy.

(At least in comparison to the rest of the state.) But I’d live there, than compared with say Chigago or LA.

But Salt Lake proper is non-Conservative, non-Mormon, liberal blue, pro-gay, etc. etc. You have to get outside of it to find real normalcy.

One nice thing about SLC is the fact that the liberals there are busy fighting the Mormon church and slightly less focused on making it a liberal craphole.

The gay community is constantly engaged in trying to upset the LDS church which I find comical. I just chuckle at every little story of another gay couple getting kicked off of Church owned property.

Better yet, fence them in.

May God bless the good Sheriffs of Utah. May they continue to serve and protect the just rights, and liberties of their constituencies.

It is wonderful to know that someone in this land intends to uphold their oath and do their job.

Nothing, If liberals want to disarm themselves & their supporters I can’t see how it is advantageous to us to stand in the way. The thing to do is to take advantage of our advantage when the time comes.

Then they need to see what the Dems are trying to pass (and if Governor signs it, is law) in Colorado.

Basically, the Secret Service would usurp Sheriff authority and make arrests when the Sheriffs refuse to.

Usurp Sheriff's authority at their own peril. The citizens will have the Sheriff's backs and it raises the question of how many SS agents would be willing to take the certainly lethal risk?

The federal courts have ruled that sheriffs are sovereign political offices. If the SS tries any fascist crap, they can be arrested for violating legal county ordinances and state laws. Then again, the criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington obeys no law, and we should similarly refuse to obey their illegal fascist dictates.

I would question whether there are enough Secret Service personnel available to do any kind of enforcement. The SS only goes after counterfeiters and does presidential security. Usually, they need the help of local LEOs because they are so few in number. Is the SS is going to come into UT and tell the sheriffs what to do? Or...what? If the SS are stupid enough to attempt the use of force, they are going to fill FEMA body bags addressed, “Return to sender Barry Obama.”

Sheriffs can deputize and there would a lot of volunteers for just that.

I notice that a lot of Libtard trolls on FreeRepublic do pretty much the same thing . . . and waste a lot of bandwidth in the process with their cut and paste drivel.

It’s better if you translate that ancient Gleek stuff into something more colloquial that Obamuzzie might understand-————come and get it bleephole!

Nah. Plenty of people know exactly what that means (and I guarantee Big O and his entire administration know what it means). If anyone doesn’t know, he can easily look it up.

Of course, you are right. My geekdom blinked momentarily.

Thanks.
