<~MEAT GOAT~> Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 AdvertisementThe Utah Sheriffs' Association has written an official letter to President Barack Obama warning of a deadly war over guns if the president and Congress enact the gun bans, gun registration, and gun control measures Obama has recommended to Congress, according to Sipsey Street Irregulars which received a copy of the letter.The full text of the letter can be read here.The key paragraph in the letter is as follows:We respect the Office of the President of the United States of America. But, make no mistake, as the duly-elected sheriffs of our respective counties, we will enforce the rights guaranteed to our citizens by the Constitution. No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights -- in particular Amendment II -- has given them. 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.The Utah sheriffs join a growing list of law enforcement agencies in at least a half dozen states that have indicated they will not enforce any federal law that infringes on the Second Amendment and that any federal official who attempts to enforce such laws will be arrested and jailed.County sheriff's departments across the country tend to be the law enforcement agency that is closest to the people, given that most sheriffs are elected by the citizens within their respective counties. But early in 2012 news reports began to surface indicating that the Obama Administration, working through federal law enforcement agencies, city and county commissions, and state governments have launched a covert effort to make the office of the county sheriff obsolete, stripping the elected official of most of his authority.In some areas of the country, such as certain areas of the northeast, such actions have already been taken.Could it be that the reason some politicians wish to strip sheriffs of their authority lies squarely in the fact that most of the resistance to the current push of the Obama Administration to concentrate power at the federal level is coming from county sheriffs?If the Leftist push of certain large municipalities and the Obama Administration to strip sheriffs of their law enforcement power is successful, then the enemies of the Constitution will have removed the last bastion of resistance among law enforcement agencies.Nothing will stand in the way of the statists, except for the people themselves, as they embark on this tyrannical push to nullify every right that is protected by the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution.

But even if the county is bats*** crazy enough to support this lunacy, the Constitution (you know, that thing they fetishize) still maintains that federal laws are supreme to local ordinances and state laws.
