@@travisleeabq It's not a "legal theory" when the U.S. Constitution supersedes any gun and mag ban. If you ever noticed when state and local officials get sworn into office the United States Constitution is first and foremost then the state Constitution and the laws thereafter!
Hats off to those Sheriffs who stand with the people and not the tyrannical government. The second amendment is our last line of defense against against our totalitarian democratic governments. There will be a second war of independence and our for-fathers seen this coming.
The Sheriff is not doing his duty in full. COLOR OF LAW: “The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right.” State v. Brechler, 185 Wis. 599, 202 N.W. 144, 148. “Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because [the] wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state, is action taken under ‘color of state law’.” Atkins v. Lanning, 415 F. Supp. 186, 188. CONCLUSION: Common Law is the law of the land; any statute in conflict with the Constitution is unenforceable; and, to enforce such statute is a crime. It is the duty of the Sheriff and U.S. Marshal, being Constitutional Officers, to make sure judges, officers of the court and all elected, appointed and hired servants obey the law; and, when they violate the law under the color of law, it is the ‘DUTY’ of the Sheriff & U.S. Marshal to arrest such public servant immediately.
Oh Yeah....and just who do I see about being protected from the guy down the street who does not accept any but his own view of reality? There are a realtively few firearm extremists making the case for all sorts of exotic weapons and accoutremont. They want to do what they want to do, when they want to do it and why. All they do is make things harder for gun owners who want to do the right thing, be good neighbors and support their society.
@jerryraymer9929 that's completely false. The law of the land IS the constitution. Local laws cannot suppress constitutional rights buddy. You're 100% wrong and that crap you posted means nothing in a courtroom.
THAT would violate the law. The bill is not unconstitutional unless the court says it is. Charges need to be filed against the sheriffs who refuse to follow the law.
@jerrymason7887 "It's not unconstitutional unless the court says it is." Well, I guess North Korea is a democracy since their courts say it is. It is the duty of the people to destroy a government that attempts to destroy our liberties if the legal route doesn't work.
There are many laws which are constitutionally dubious and then there are some laws which are blatantly unconstitutional but the legislators don’t care. One example is California passing a law which restricts concealed carry to be basically impossible in any public setting. There is absolutely no way that will not get rightly struck down by SCOTUS. California is doing this because the judicial process for finding a law unconstitutional is slow, especially with the 9th Circuit Appeals Court in CA staffed by far left ideologues running interference for their preferred policies. But more importantly, there is zero personal accountability for the politicians involved in passing unconstitutional laws, and therefore zero incentive for them not to do so. They can just keep spamming unconstitutional laws and some of them will always be on the books because the courts just haven’t gotten to them yet. When a law is taken to court and found to be blatantly unconstitutional, the legislators who voted for that law, the executive who signed the law, and any writers of the law need to be held accountable by at the very least being on the hook financially for the costs accrued defending that law in court. That would very quickly put an end to such legislative spamming.
@@jerrymason7887The courts Don't need to say it is unconditional to make it unconstitutional. It it goes against the Constitution, it is unconstitutional.
Sheriffs are sworn in; this means they take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. Politicians also take this same oath. When politicians try to strip rights from the people, they should be removed from office.
Municipal police and federal enforcement officers also take the same oath. Much like the one I first took in '03 "...I will support and defend the CONSTITUTION against all enemies foreign and domestic and bear true faith and allegiance to the same..." BEFORE officers appointed over me or the office of thr President. When government becomes tyrannical, become ungovernable. I wont enforce anything unconstitutional either.
@@jerrymason7887once again "shall not be infringed". Doesnt get any more clear than that. Every law on the books regarding firearms in unconstitutional. Don't like it? Leave
@@jerrymason7887in light of Bruen and a large body of existing case law, there is no way to reasonably argue that lawmakers, particularly those with law degrees, are unaware of the constitutionality of a gun law (or lack thereof) when they pass a gun bill.
But if they have the chance they will arrest you and take your gun, you have to fight it out in court and you will never see your gun again, that is the BS purpose of this, so they can get their dam hands on your gun, they have no legal grounds, but your still out your weapon.

Interpreting it is not. If Sheriffs can just sort of be their own judicial branch, what's to stop them, and maybe the prosecutors and judges in liberal states from deciding "you know what, we don't believe the 2A confers any right of individual gun ownership. We hold the Supreme Court to be illegitimate."
The 1st Amendment seems pretty self-evident too: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise." No law. Seems to me if we take that at face value, Warren Jeffs has an argument that his "marrying" 12 year old girls was an absolute right. His exercise of religion after all. Had his local sheriff concurred, should we have treated him as a hero?
I wouldn’t say against the law so much as for the bill of rights. It’s much broader and this kind of tyrannical behavior is exactly why it was written. Pritzker should be jailed for his actions. Not applauded
People are making too much out of this. It's important to note that all of these sheriffs are only saying they will not enforce one specific provision of the law. That's the part that requires you to register firearms and magazines that fall under the grandfather exception. None of them are saying that they won't enforce any other part of the law or that they won't enforce the law as a whole. And there is likely a more selfish motivation for them not wanting to enforce that particular provision of the law. In order to do that they would need to implement and maintain a system to be able to catalog all of that data. That would involve a huge amount of money and manhours most of them simply don't have.
@The Uncouth Truth I'd rather see him try to catch all the lead from every barrel that he wants banned. Something about fish in a barrel comes to mind. Let the criminals do their worst and maybe they will get voted out or stopped cold in their tyranny.
They are not. If they were they would all say they would defend their citizens with appropriate force against the state law enforcement. But they choose to sit and watch instead. 😡

But he's obviously pro guns, so many people go "yay, great sheriff!". For me that's absolutely hypocritical - the sheriff is trying to show off as a defender of the constitution - but is also only picking out the parts that suits his needs and is popular (=the 2nd Amendment). He probably just wants to position himself to be re-elected as sheriff. And what better way to do this than showing off by opposing this law and ensure the support of the powerful gun lobby and all its supporters?
Illinois voted for these types of laws to be passed...so this idea of not enforcing it is not what the majority wants. Plain and simple. You would think they'd want to enforce this law since many use these types of weapons against law enforcement. Nope...all politics.
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....

The Sheriff is not doing his duty in full. COLOR OF LAW: “The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right.” State v. Brechler,
185 Wis. 599, 202 N.W. 144, 148. “Misuse of power, possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only
because [the] wrongdoer is clothed with authority of state, is action taken under ‘color of state law’.” Atkins v.
Lanning, 415 F. Supp. 186, 188.
CONCLUSION: Common Law is the law of the land; any statute in conflict with the Constitution is
unenforceable; and, to enforce such statute is a crime. It is the duty of the Sheriff and U.S. Marshal, being
Constitutional Officers, to make sure judges, officers of the court and all elected, appointed and hired servants
obey the law; and, when they violate the law under the color of law, it is the ‘DUTY’ of the Sheriff & U.S.
Marshal to arrest such public servant immediately.
If they really stood with the people they would arrest the politicians.
@@jerryraymer9929the fact that they haven’t been detained already speaks volumes. The sherrifs are shirking their duty in this regard.
Oh Yeah....and just who do I see about being protected from the guy down the street who does not accept any but his own view of reality? There are a realtively few firearm extremists making the case for all sorts of exotic weapons and accoutremont. They want to do what they want to do, when they want to do it and why. All they do is make things harder for gun owners who want to do the right thing, be good neighbors and support their society.
@jerryraymer9929 that's completely false. The law of the land IS the constitution. Local laws cannot suppress constitutional rights buddy. You're 100% wrong and that crap you posted means nothing in a courtroom.
Charges need to be filed against politicians that bring laws against the U.S. Constitution.
no gallows need to be set up
THAT would violate the law. The bill is not unconstitutional unless the court says it is. Charges need to be filed against the sheriffs who refuse to follow the law.
@jerrymason7887 "It's not unconstitutional unless the court says it is." Well, I guess North Korea is a democracy since their courts say it is. It is the duty of the people to destroy a government that attempts to destroy our liberties if the legal route doesn't work.
There are many laws which are constitutionally dubious and then there are some laws which are blatantly unconstitutional but the legislators don’t care.
One example is California passing a law which restricts concealed carry to be basically impossible in any public setting. There is absolutely no way that will not get rightly struck down by SCOTUS.
California is doing this because the judicial process for finding a law unconstitutional is slow, especially with the 9th Circuit Appeals Court in CA staffed by far left ideologues running interference for their preferred policies. But more importantly, there is zero personal accountability for the politicians involved in passing unconstitutional laws, and therefore zero incentive for them not to do so. They can just keep spamming unconstitutional laws and some of them will always be on the books because the courts just haven’t gotten to them yet.
When a law is taken to court and found to be blatantly unconstitutional, the legislators who voted for that law, the executive who signed the law, and any writers of the law need to be held accountable by at the very least being on the hook financially for the costs accrued defending that law in court.
That would very quickly put an end to such legislative spamming.
@@jerrymason7887The courts Don't need to say it is unconditional to make it unconstitutional. It it goes against the Constitution, it is unconstitutional.
Sheriffs are sworn in; this means they take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States. Politicians also take this same oath. When politicians try to strip rights from the people, they should be removed from office.
Your comment can go both ways at the same time.
@@andyjohnson3790 ?
Municipal police and federal enforcement officers also take the same oath.

There is no way to claim that they "knowingly" violated the Constitution since the law is certainly potentially constitutional.

@@jerrymason7887in light of Bruen and a large body of existing case law, there is no way to reasonably argue that lawmakers, particularly those with law degrees, are unaware of the constitutionality of a gun law (or lack thereof) when they pass a gun bill.
It’s not a law because it’s unconstitutional. It’s null and void.
But if they have the chance they will arrest you and take your gun, you have to fight it out in court and you will never see your gun again, that is the BS purpose of this, so they can get their dam hands on your gun, they have no legal grounds, but your still out your weapon.

People are making too much out of this. It's important to note that all of these sheriffs are only saying they will not enforce one specific provision of the law. That's the part that requires you to register firearms and magazines that fall under the grandfather exception. None of them are saying that they won't enforce any other part of the law or that they won't enforce the law as a whole.
And there is likely a more selfish motivation for them not wanting to enforce that particular provision of the law. In order to do that they would need to implement and maintain a system to be able to catalog all of that data. That would involve a huge amount of money and manhours most of them simply don't have.
@Rowgue51 the only selfish motivation here was the banning of so called assault weapons.

They pass laws knowing that they are unconstitutional but they don’t care because they know their voter base will protect them, it will take years if not decades to undo these unconstitutional laws, and in the mean time there is no repercussions for their actions. There must be a better way. I have a few ideas……

Thank you law enforcement for standing up for the constitution. Against tyrannical government.
Why are these politicians not being put into prison for infringing on the civil rights of citizens they are sworn to protect?
Because we are living in an unconstitutional system as per the federal reserve act.
@@fredkruger7355 Is that how demonrats continually skirt around the constitution?
Huh? You want cops put in prison for enforcing laws? If a law is unconstitutional then you can bring your argument to court and get a judge to rule on it. That's how this works.

Just imagine how quickly the tables would turn if prosecutors actually started bringing up charges against politicians. 18 USC § 242 would be a good start.
Legislator's writing unconstitutional laws need to pay for the cost of the litigation to overturn them, otherwise they just flood the courts with this garbage and tie up the courts time with frivolous legislation that targets law abiding citizens !
What part of "shall not be infringed" do these politicians and bureaucracies not understand?
The sad truth is there are too many citizens that vote but don't care about what's written in our constitution.
The second amendment is *completely clear as day* . Yet they count on people not reading the words *Right of the people* written in it.
It's either the *"shall not"* or the *"be infringed"* part of that particular 2A terminology that escapes them.

What part of "well regulated" do you not understand ?
@@jaimeperry7326 in the context of the second amendment, "well regulated" means "well armed"

Thank you officers, for thinking clearly and protecting our constitutional rights.

This Sheriff has common sense. Something very rare nowadays. He's a great man.
It's almost as if they're taking their oaths seriously.
I like this sheriff. He refutes the governor's solution to a non-existent problem, presents the real problem, and follows up with a proposed course of action to the real problem.
Well put.
Protest being locked and loaded open carry what are they going to do about it🤣
This is what the second amendment was designed for🙂👍🤣🇺🇸
And he will be deeply ignored as the Supreme Court refuses to take the case or lacks any authority to punish or remove from office those that commit treason.
The ONLY successful course of action is eradication of the oppressive entity causing the oppression, primarily by organized guerilla warfare and tactics. Period.
More law enforcement needs to take a stand like this.
Sheriffs yes. However, the supreme court ruled, police do not have to protect the civilian population. Only its corporate interest.
ALL law enforcement.
Agree to disagree
First you wanted officers to be tough on crime and now you want them to not enforce laws? 🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Zazasnruntz At this point, I think we'd be better off without them. They were only meant to handle serious crimes, some minor regulations, like speeding. These days, they're trying to be SS elitists. I could take it or leave it. Last time I tried to flag one down to report something suspicious going on. I got treated like the suspect. Last damn time I ever help a cop.

@@katarn999 yes we do, in what way is this law constitutional? Just makes more criminals.
@@LuccaAndretti We don't need servants from the executive branch of the government (e.g. sheriffs) to question the laws enacted by the legislative powers. That's the judicative powers' job (=in the end the Supreme Court).
What this sheriff does is basically violating the separation of power - one of the major cornerstones of US society, laid down in the US constitution itself (and by far more central in there than the 2nd Amendment). But he's obviously pro guns, so many people go "yay, great sheriff!".
For me that's absolutely hypocritical - the sheriff is trying to show off as a defender of the constitution - but is also only picking out the parts that suits his needs and is popular (=the 2nd Amendment). He probably just wants to position himself to be re-elected as sheriff. And what better way to do this than showing off by opposing this law and ensure the support of the powerful gun lobby and all its supporters?
Unconstitutional laws should not be enforced
They should arrest anyone who tries to enforce this unConstitutional law
Arrest, son that’s a silly way to spell “shoot to death”
Need more people like Sheriff Booker.
Thank you standing up for the people of Illinois.
Illinois voted for these types of laws to be passed...so this idea of not enforcing it is not what the majority wants. Plain and simple. You would think they'd want to enforce this law since many use these types of weapons against law enforcement. Nope...all politics.
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776
How long are we going to take this from lawmakers? We need to arrest these criminals and throw out the keys.
And to clarify, by "law makers" you mean the tyrants in Springfield. With that I agree!
Well that will be on citizens because LEOs wont do it.
@21accountsremoved31 Because I say so. The constitution just guarantees it.
No such thing as an “assault weapon.” Salutes to you Sheriff Booker for standing strong!
@@xploration1437 Would you please explain what you mean?
@@guerotechAssault weapons have select fire capability (i.e., they are machine guns). There is a very limited number of transferable machine guns that private citizens are eligible to buy, but Illinois has already banned its residents from buying one. However, law enforcement is allowed to buy machine guns just by filing some simple paperwork.
Assault Weapon is just... any Assault Rifle/Battle Rifle/Carbine/ Select Fire, magazine fed, intermidiate cartridge shootin'
@@xploration1437 no there isn't. 😂 assault is an action. It can be done with anything. Why your try to say is a modular service rifle. 🤦♂️
@@tmfilpansick Assault can also be a noun. Assault pack, assault rifle.

Racist
i remember back when Obama was president several Sheriffs in my state made a public announcement that if anyone wanted toban guns in the State of Tennessee they would have to come and confiscate them without the help of any Tennessee law enforcement and there were even some that said they would rather fight the government than fight their citizens. I recall hearing on the news one of the sheriff saying "I took an oath to protect the people of this state, not the government. I will choose my people over the government every single time because that was my oath."
Imagine living in fear that Obama was going to take your guns away for 8 years lol..

Where are the rest of Sheriffs on this!! Confiscation

More and more law enforcement officers need to come out and stand up against these blatantly unconstitutional laws.
The oath breaking politicians that write and sponsor these unconstitutional bills and vote yes on them need to be tried for treason.
Sheriffs have the autonomy to oppose these laws because they are elected by the people of their county, but police departments in urban areas and major cities are often appointed by the city, so even if the officers in those cities opposed the bill, they have no ability to resist it because they will just be fired and replaced by someone who will enforce it.
@@bullmoosevelt4495 No sheriff or deputy has the authority to break the law. They are required to ENFORCE the laws as they are and with equal protection under the law for all citizens and not just of the county that elected them. All of us are protected by the US constitution and those right enshrined there are the paramount law of the land under the supremacy clause of our constitution. They do not have the autonomy to pick and choose what laws they like and will enforce and which they will not.
They need to blatantly refuse to protect the politicians any longer.
@@MAtildaMortuaryserver They have every right to oppose these laws BECAUSE they are unconstitutional. In which case they are serving and protecting their citizens by not enforcing it. If you didn’t pay attention to what I typed. I was saying that Sheriffs can have a better time getting away with this defiance because they are elected by their local citizens, thus so long as those locals support the Sheriffs actions, they are under no threat of removal.
When government passes a law that is unconstitutional, law enforcement has every right to oppose it, because their loyalty is not towards the government but to the people that they swore to protect in accordance with their constitutional rights.
@Matilda mortuaryserver, the 2nd Amendment null and voids your arguement. The Bill of Rights was created for thexample people to defend themselves from corrupt and tyrannical government.
We need people with balls not people claiming to be men. Stand up for us! This is a man standing for truth! We are good people that deserve our rights. We did nothing to earn this. Mental health is a huge issue that never even gets addressed.
Praying for these 3 sheriff's, that this gets turned around quickly, and they don't lose their livelihood.
Jabba the Pritzker needs to remember that these sheriffs were elected by the voters in their counties and not the voters of Chicago and cook county. The are not going anywhere until their voters say so.
The sheriffs will be fine. It is an elected position. They are one of our greatest defenders against these tyrannical lawmakers. The sheriffs answer to the folks who elected them... not to the governor
people lost their livelihoods by the idiotic covid lockdowns
Dominion Voting has entered the chat.
They'll be replaced by Wokies in the next cycle due to "irregularities."
The Governor can't fire them so what can he do. That's the problem with other LE like the state police where they can be summarily fired.
Even the Sheriff knows the AR-15 isn't an assault weapon. No one asked the Sheriff
about that.
I applaud these sheriffs. Standing their ground and upholding the oath they took. I still don't get how people cant grasp the "Shall not be infringed" clause of the second amendment.
Never a step to actually hold criminals accountable only to slowly strip law abiding citizens of their rights.
and ability to be on equal footing with criminals and terrorists who have never obeyed gun bans including Prickster's new unconstitutional ban.
Every citizen is a "law abiding citizen" until they aren't. Guns make killing easy. You have failed to understand the human condition if all you know is "law". How many families will get torn apart by murder suicides this year? Pay attention, most of those incidents involve first time offenders- those who are not listed as "criminals".
Right. This is because if the government can disarm you, then you are no longer a Citizen, but become a powerless Subject. Subjects don't have rights or freedoms, or the ability to vote. They must submit, and obey to their rulers. This is what the politicians want. It's all about the elite obtaining more and more power over the People.
Hate to break it to you pal, but criminals get their weapons from "law abiding citizens", or at least law abiding as far as their record goes. They aren't making them in home workshops, they're getting them with straw purchases or stealing poorly secured ones. Even south of the border, studies have shown most of them come from the US.
Ok you are saying it unconstitutional to take away the right to own Assault rifles and small gun magazine, That's against your right they can't make a law like that. But your saying its ok to make a law that bans criminals from owning guns. What about there 2nd amendment right to bear arms, SOunds like a double standard to me
I will never ever surrender my firearms.
A common sense sheriff! Well done sir!
GOD BLESS THESE SHERIFS praying for Illinois
sad thing is california cant even ban gun manufacturers who break their laws like selling to someone without a id see this is why we cant have good things like common sense gun laws people you cant just ban a piece and think your helping anymore guns need to be regulated as a whole thats the problem republcians value human life so little they dont care about science facts reality they wont even let the debate happen like cowards
That sheriff hates kids. If he loved kids he would be in forcing the law not breaking it.
At a private Christian school in Nashville last month, six people, including three children, were murdered by a shooter armed with assault-style rifles. It’s been less than a year since a gunman who legally purchased two assault rifles for his 18th birthday shot and killed 19 students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas - and yet enacting common sense gun regulations has largely been left up to the states.
We will take those prayers. Thank you!
Nope
As another sheriff stated a few years back, the armed citizens are the first lines of their own defense against criminals who are trying to hurt them. They show up to secure the scene and fend off any other threat.
In our current times the criminals are our own government, which long ago forgot they are nothing but mere public SERVANTS and we are their MASTERS. Time to make them remember their place in society.
Ignoring that the 2nd Amendment is the last line of defense against totalitarian entities and unfortunately for us we never saw it to it’s ultimately conclusion. You can have all the guns in the world, but if nobody knows how to organize and fight then they’re worthless. The US should have either mandatory service or another form of obligatory service in a new military organization specifically designed for the purpose of turning civilians into excellent guerrilla fighters or garrison troops.
that rarely happens though. That guy in Texas killed that robber with a fake gun at the taco store and he is facing criminal charges for being a hero.
We all know what is going to happen. Some case makes its way to a federal or the Supreme court-and then the law is declared unconstitutional.
Good for them. Next step is to deploy deputies to protect the citizens if other agencies try to enforce the law.
there are almost no law enforcement agencies that will support this.
That’s not what they are saying. They are saying they will not get involved but will stand on the sidelines and watch their citizens get screwed.
Constitutional laws that are broken by anyone, those persons should be prosecuted for treason......period.
They think they are constitutional tho, & thats the heart of the problem. Probably half the country would agree with them too.
They love the constitution when it protects themselves, but could care less about anyone else.
There is no greater evil than a man who seeks to disarm his neighbor, save the politician who seeks to disarm his own citizens.
