Apparently 28 of Utah’s finest, dressed-in-gray, spit-shined, members of the Utah Sheriff’s Association signed and sent a letter to the Pres. Obama stating that they will not enforce any gun laws they do not consider constitutional, and consider his executive orders about gun control a threat to our rights.
Their sound reasoning is that the second amendment gives every citizen the right to “keep and bear arms,” against tyranny.
Sounds all fine and dandy to me, and I have to say what is good for the goose is good for the gander. In fact, I think every citizen and any organization that has a similar high-faluten title like the “Utah Sheriffs Association,” should have the right, not only to “keep and bear arms,” but to also unilaterally declare as unconstitutional any law that the Utah Sheriff’s Association tries to enforce and to use those arms to rise up against any tyranny that says otherwise.
Now, before those fine men in gray come knocking at my door saying I threatened to shoot upon them or to incite a riot against them, let me hasten to say that everything in here is tongue-in-cheek and not meant to be constitutional. But I must say that neither the Utah Sheriff’s Association nor any other individual has the ultimate authority to declare any law unconstitutional. That power lies with the Supreme Court through the application of the law.
Therefore, while I agree with the fine men in gray that we have a right to “keep and bear arms,” this does not give me, them, and other State and Federal governmental agencies the unilateral right to declare whatever we want as unconstitutional and thereby effectively succeed from the union. It is unbecoming and somewhat deranged for the Sheriffs to get their gray jodhpurs all in a wad like this and act similar to the closet-constitutional-scholars wackos who think they can declare anything that law enforcement does to them as unconstitutional without proving it to be such in accordance with the law.
So I’m here to declare to the Utah Sheriff’s Association that you can believe whatever you want personally but that you and your organization has to enforce the law as is your duty and to obey the law just like everyone else. If something is unconstitutional, prove it to be such through proper channels like you require us citizens to do when you haul us off to jail and don’t be flaunting your ignorance like some wacky jailhouse lawyer.
