North Carolina Sheriff Refuses To Enforce ‘Unconstitutional’ Gun Laws
Quote:A sheriff in North Carolina vowed not to enforce any "unconstitutional" gun laws if passed by the state's legislature.
Davidson County Sheriff's Deputy Tripp Kester told the Davidson Board of Commissioners this week that he supported a Second Amendment resolution to protect gun rights and that he "swore an oath" to protect the United States Constitution. He added that as a law enforcement officer, he would not enforce any law infringing upon the right to bear arms.
"The Constitution needs no explanation. It's been enforced for several hundred years now," said Kester. "It says what it means, it means what it says. And the last time I read the Deceleration of Independence, it specifically reminds all of us that we're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, which means God-given, among these life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness and that government's were instituted among men specifically to secure our God-given rights.
"I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but regardless of what y'all do, I'm not going to enforce an unconstitutional law," Kester continued as applause broke out in the room. "Let's let these people know that we're here to support them, and we're not going to allocate any personnel, finances, resources, or facilities to infringe on their liberties."
The pro-gun rights resolution, introduced by Commissioner Zak Crotts, was passed by the board unanimously and follows similar resolutions adopted in Virginia and Kentucky, which state that no law officer will infringe on the citizens right to keep and bear arms. Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions have been adopted in more than 100 Virginia counties as the Democratic majority in Richmond is set to pass monumental anti-gun legislation.

I firmly believe that county sheriffs all across this country feel the same as he does. I'm not sure I can say that with as much conviction about urban police departments though given the number of major urban centers controlled by democrats.

Just as I posted last month. Everyone of us who have vowed to uphold the Constitution of the US has a solemn duty not to break it. That includes law enforcement. Anyone not adhering to it is breaking THE law.

the south will rise again....the coastal urbanite goons simply don't understand how inflating $$$ matters across the board or why the exodus is happening.....
we're at the point where the $$$ are dying off, credit only exists b/c we dominate global commerce/military, and the 'gains' from the boomers getting arse raped by trying to salvage and cover individual cost of living/healthcare....that system really gets prison fk'd <15 yrs.....
coastal urban centers are fk'd carrying a mortgage or whatever else at this point unless you're in the 'in group'......those dippo lands are now unsustainable for the avg. joe
.....and trust me on this, the south doesn't give two g'dammed mother fks....we jist kick back as we rock and laugh our MFAO at the dipshites 'en matter'....
let's see how that shite works out long term...
it's funny what happens when they think they can play, yet bleed like a vaj when the sponge goes dry....
