Sheriffs Stand Strong for Constitution
A growing list of County Sheriffs across America have vowed not to enforce any of Obama’s new gun laws which may violate citizens’ constitutional rights. These sheriffs have written letters to the White House and/or made public statements to media, on their County pages, and on their Facebook pages, as well as in responses to queries by concerned citizens. There may be more, as the list grows by the hour.
