Colorado revolt: 55 of 62 sheriffs refuse to enforce new gun laws December 16, 2013
Gun control don't go 'round here, law dogs!
Will they reinstate the Drone Hunting Licenses too?
Due process. That’s a phrase that really seems to give indigestion to liberals.
Well, states via the people of the sates are sovereign and can with a few constitutional exceptions do what they want.
The Constitution and its first ten amendments are aimed DIRECTLY AT THE FEDS!!!
Read and re-read the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, Boys and Girls.
Our Free Constitutional Republic is not perfect but it is way ahead of whatever’s in second place.
And throwing out or amending by fiat the Constitution is like jumping into a furnace. The Constitution as written a originally understood and intended is out ONLY bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the feds who would if they could take not just your guns, but your freedom and your lives.
As Trump said, they’re not coming after him - they coming after US. States are not the probelm. The $4 trillion mostly unconstitutional federal government is poised to rip our freedoms and our lives apart.
DON’T LET THEM. The Constitution is our legal weapon against federal tyranny.
If we truly adhered to the Constitution, we would have a fraction of the problems that we’re having now. Even NY and CA would be rich.
This was a terrible tragedy of an officer being murdered while answering the umpteenth call on a guy with known mental health issues.
But I respectfully submit Sheriff Spurlock is acting out of emotion. How can he reasonably think that if Officer Parrish went to the house to take the guys guns instead of responding to a disturbance call the outcome would have been any different?

The USA got along just fine from the 1780s till around 1840, before the “Peelers” (police) were formed, using only the Sheriff and the called out militias for law enforcement. This alone should be proof that citizens have the rights to own the best weapons available for law enforcement.
The resistance is forming.
The high-minded justifications are a smoke screen to distract opponents.
Democrats are firmly in control of Colorado right now and they are going to pass these laws no matter what arguments are made against the measures. Then they will try to enforce them.
Things will not go as planned.
What this does is rely on those who red-flag someone as if they were a mental health professional. So a person with no knowledge of mental health at all can make a report and based on that the person being reported has their constitutional right to bear arms taken away without due process. The only due process comes after the firearms are taken.
These laws are giving a lot of people who are not mental health professionals the power to deprive people of their constitutional rights based on their mental health.
Some of these laws are worded in a way that if you go on one date with someone they can report you as a possible danger and your firearms are to be taken by law enforcement. Then the burden is on you to defend against the claim after your civil rights have been violated.
So many things wrong with this- lets face it if a person truly is a danger to others or themselves their firearms are not the only weapon they have readily available. Taking firearms does not keep someone from using a knife, car,rope, drugs, ETC to harm another or themselves. So the smart thing to do would be to put the person that is a danger to themselves and others in a place where they cannot access weapons while their mental health is evaluated/treated. Possibly an inpatient mental health facility?
The laws about putting a person in a mental institution against their will don’t allow various people in your life to make a call to have you immediately locked up. Even an LEO cannot get you placed in a mental health facility for a hold against your will unless you meet the criteria of mental health professionals as being a danger to yourself or others. Why not? Because it would be a violation of your constitutional rights!
Legalized SWATing.
When the last election showed Colorado about to go full commie, I knew we were in trouble.

Hey is there anything we can do as a citizen to support Weld Co? I live in Colorado and am relatively close.
