Sheriff Richard Vaughan VA says he won't enforce new gun laws.

"They're unconstitutional"

There is a real sickness in these people.

 Sheriff Richard Vaughan of Grayson County, VA, spoke clearly and loudly:
“If the bills go through as proposed, they will not be enforced. They are unconstitutional.”#VirginiaRally #Richmond2ARally #Virginia2A

Ok, I’ve watched that thread all day long. Not a single one of them is bringing up the sheriff’s who refuse to work with ICE. Or the mayors, governors, police chiefs, etc.

Anyone want to go point it out?

Does any DU-member dare examine his given reason? Or are they arguing that he should enforce an unconstitutional-on-its-face law until some court declares it unconstitutional?

They’re claiming since he’s not a Supreme Court Justice he has no authority to call it unconstitutional and therefore must enforce the law or be removed immediately.

It’s a frustrating thread and it’s hard to bring much over on my phone.

3. Is he a Supreme Court justice in his spare time?



How else could he decide the constitutionality of a law?

It was already decided by the Supreme Court.  Braindead idiots.

15. One can try and educate the voters in that county so they elect a sheriff who believes in ...

sensible gun control laws.

   Didja see the crowd?

"educate."

Thanks!  I’m going to try to grab a few of their brain dead posts, but the whole thread is frustrating. They’re all behind civil disobedience when it comes to dope or illegal aliens and see zero hypocrisy in this stance. Talking about being able to sue the county if the sheriff doesn’t enforce the law and someone dies .... what about Kate Steinle?!  And thousands of other illegal aliens who’ve killed our citizens??

30. our states AG ( I belive thats who it was) said if Sheriff doesnt enforce and someone gets shot..
..the victim can sue the entire county...cuz a few maggots here said same thing.

36. So this LEO won't enforce certain LAWS because he disagrees with those laws.
Then he should run for congress, as clearly he’s in the wrong line of work, if he cannot enforce laws on the books because he doesn’t like them.

What an insane world.

Here’s someone who clearly has no clue what this is about;

39. Being limited to purchasing one hand gun a month?
How is being able to buy 12 handguns in a one year period taking away their guns? Who the **** needs 12 hand guns in a single year? Not one of those protesters is pissing away their own money on such an unnecessary purchase.

Do they even know what they are protesting?

40. Well I guess you won't be needing that badge anymore
and retirement from the force should come swiftly for you.

And watch the irony when in six months he ends up a casualty of a mass shooting.

43. Since when is constitutional interpretation part of a sheriff's job description?
Another right wing asshole abusing his office.

There’s more, but you get the gist. Not a single sense of irony.

DUmmies angry with someone not enforcing unconstitutional laws but are perfectly fine with city leaders not enforcing laws against vagrancy, indecency and drug use on the street in public.

Ah, right. But they believed any PFC or second louie was obligated to disobey Bush's orders on their own initiative.

Yes sir.  It's total bullshit.

Yup, and Bradley Manning was a hero and Bergdahl was a hero, and Reality Winner was a hero.  The DUmmies are cowards.

  It took 84 responses for a DU-member to point out one of DUpipo's many double-standards in this argument.

  More than a few DU-Morons have probably thanked those sheriffs for not busting them!

  It took a DU-member with so many DU-posts that (s)he is unlikely to receive pizza delivery for a minor party-line crossing like this to have the courage to point out DUpipo's grossly obvious double-standard.
