The Thread about where your Sheriff stands on 2A

[blacklabel]

I appreciate the sentiment but only time will tell if Sheriff Cook as well as the others that have stepped forward are willing to stand by their word.

I believe the very simple fact that they are saying these things in a public manner speaks volumes. It should also send a message.

Make me smile to see all these guys stand up for what is right!

Weld Sheriff Cooke says he won’t enforce Obama’s proposed gun restrictions!

Weld County Sheriff John Cooke, along with some other elected officials across the country, is voicing vehement opposition to President Barack Obama’s sweeping plan to address gun violence, calling the proposal “out of line” and saying he refuses to enforce any part of it. On Wednesday, Obama presented a major gun control plan, calling on Congress to pass laws that would reinstate the ban on assault weapons, outlaw high-capacity ammunition magazines and require mandatory background checks for all gun purchases.

"What's been twisted is that the sheriff is going to somehow define what's constitutional," he said. "That's not the case."

Every LEO and soldier must at all times make personal determinations with regard to the constitutionality of every law / order they are called upon to enforce / execute. This is doubly so for those in leadership positions such as military officers and SHERIFFS.

Is there nobody capable of sticking to constitutional principles? Damn.

If you live in Larimer or Weld, make sure you vote to keep these guys in office. As an employee of Sheriff Cooke, I can personally attest to him being a pretty amazing man and a staunch supporter of the Constitution.


Sheriff Smith and Sheriff Cooke are now telling Obama that they will not enforce any further anti-gun legislation.

When I moved here 4 years ago I had no idea at the time that I had moved into such a good county, Very glad now that I landed here. And I'm sending Sheriff Cooke a personal thank you tomorrow morning.

My question to those sheriffs, and even the one here in El Paso county is, say the feds only pass a 10 round mag limit, or say they pass nothing, and Hickenpooper and his cronies pass an AWB or restriction, and/or mag limits. What will their stance be then?
