NY Sheriffs refuse to enforce draconian NY State gun law

[Little-Acorn]

As the gun-rights-haters try to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens more and more, even the sheriffs are abandoning them as they realize such laws are unconstitutional.

N.Y. Sheriffs Won't Enforce Gun-Control Law

September 09, 2013

A New York sheriff says he won't enforce the state's restrictive gun law passed earlier this year because he considers it unconstitutional.

Schoharie County (N.Y.) Sheriff Tony Desmond told The Daily Star he wouldn't enforce the law and won't do anything to cause law-abiding citizens to turn in their weapons or arrest them for possessing firearms.

Desmond and several other New York sheriffs have come out against the SAFE Act that was signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in January.

Good on them. We have many sheriff's in the state that have said the same thing. The local police and sheriff's use the range I shoot at, they have pretty much said they don't care, they will not check, the new CO laws mean pretty much nothing to them.

Doomberg and Obama don't have a say in who the sheriff is-- he's elected by the people of the county. County supervisors could possibly vote him out but, with this guy as the chairman

, I'm thinking that, odds are, the sheriff sticks around for awhile.
