This is wonderful, the balkinization continues, as the states and even better the counties take their rights back, moving through the US will become more of a "if you can stop me" untill all faith is lost in the federal government to enforce the law and we get collections of states/communities forming their own governments. Next the communist states will all but collapse and we can properly take the country back as a whole.

Look like everyone in those counties is mentally unstable, and should be red flagged! See? Red flag laws work!

A small drop in the bucket that is Colorado; this state is fucked up, and not the state of my youth.
Liberals fuck up everything; wherever they go. They are a plague. RFL is only a superficial scratch, compared to the bigger gaping wound they already created/ making more massive, due to their "majority". |

This is going to wind up resulting in the same thing NY state did with the SAFE act. All but the few metros signed a resolution stating they would not enforce the SAFE act and nobody could make them.
NY State has yet to do a thing about it. Same with other states - how many AR's, FN's, AK's, and HK's were turned in under their AWB registration scheme. Darn few. It's said when they outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns, now you see the Deep State agenda. Wake up. |

It won't matter. When the authorities want you, they will use the law. It's as simple as that.

After a bunch of WHEREAS statements, Park County resolved:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Park by the authority granted the Board by the laws of the State of Colorado and people of Park County, Colorado to stand and defend their rights and liberties, which are guaranteed by the United States and Colorado Constitutions, we hereby declare this Resolution to be a Second Amendment Preservation Resolution Designating Park County a Second Amendment "Sanctuary County." BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board affirms its support for the duly elected Sheriff of Park County, Colorado in the exercise of his sound discretion and affirms its resolve to support decisions by our Sheriff to not enforce any unconstitutional firearms law against any citizen. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board will not authorize or appropriate government funds, resources, employees, agencies, contractors, buildings, detention centers or offices for the purpose of enforcing law that unconstitutionally infringes on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. |

Good for Colorado. Time to push on those lawmakers to do what WE want. What's all that shit about the people wanting gun control?

Adams County not on the list? My shocked face View Quote “The Sheriff currently opposes the legislation as written and he has requested modifications to the bill. He will not support it in the current form.” I haven’t heard what his proposed modifications are. |

Plenty of opposition to this bill, and the "sanctuary county" statements are adding up.
Sadly I doubt CO politicians will listen. Then we could only hope to see a repeat of 2013 again, send some packing. |

Glad to see my childhood home of Park County telling them to fuck off, and expected nothing less from Craig County

Love it. I wish they would do the same with the mag ban. View Quote So they kinda did already. We had a chance to get back to 30rds as the limit (while banning everything over that) but Dudders fucked that up. Incrementalism works, and we're proving it, but some folks in-state still resist that lesson. It sucks to not be able to buy mags online, but you can still buy mags at nearly every gun shop and with only 4 county sheriffs actively enforcing the law, it looks a lot more toothless than I bet the left would like it to be. |

The NYS map of anti-SAFE resolutions looked even more promising after SAFE was passed.
Oh well. Good luck Colorado. |

I don't think the climate is the same as it was in 2013. I think recalls over the red flag bill would be at a much higher risk for failure than those we ran in 2013. View Quote |

the R sheriff in Douglas Co (Spurlock) has stepped on his dick BIG TIME on this issue.
actually chastised the County board for passing the resolution https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/politics/douglas-co-sheriff-slams-commissioners-after-resolution-preempting-red-flag-bill-passes |

Quoted: How does this resolution have any meaning or significance?????? NOBODY enforces laws that have been determined to be unconstitutional. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that leave the door open for any and every law to be enforced until it is successfully challenged and found unconstitutional? EDIT- If the intent was to allow the Sheriff to decide on his own whether or not a law is constitutional, the resolution isn't written in a way that gives him the authority. View Quote All laws that are passed are enforced until they are challenged and found unconstitutional. That is how judicial review works. A legislature can pass whatever laws they want. The judiciary cannot review them until someone with standing sues and the case works its way through the court system. There is no "automatic review process" whereby laws are reviewed as they are passed. |

Quoted: Exactly. So a resolution stating they won't support enforcement of unconstitutional laws means business as usual, right? View Quote They are saying that the laws passed by Colorado (red flag laws, mag ban, whatever) are unconstitutional (federally) and they (the local government) will not do the states bidding in enforcing un-Constitutional laws. It's civil disobedience by a lower level of government. Local governments are essentially telling the state government to fuck off, and daring them to send the states men in to enforce the laws. It's a rebellion, otherwise known as nullification. ETA: Yes, the local legislature (county commission or whatever it is called in CO) is taking it upon itself to determine constitutionality of the legislation. They can do that till someone challenges them. They have precedent that the Bill of Rights applies to the states via incorporation through the 14th Amendment. And they can continue to tell the state to fuck off until A) The state sues them and wins or B) The federal government steps in. |
|
Glad they're standing up. I hope they really mean it. Nullification can lead to very serious consequences.
We fought a civil war over nullification efforts once before. |

Good! I bet the Governor and AG might try to squeeze them some how.

That is great to hear!
There are several sheriffs in MD who would do the same |

While this is important, we can't let them get away with:
The gas and oil shutdown bill The sex education bill and the myriad of other bills they are trying to ram through. And don't even get me started on the electoral college thing. By the time we figure it all out, it will be to late and some damage will not be reversible. |

The major cities are quickly becoming the Capital fro Hunger Games. They are there to reap the spoils of all other districts labors and suppress the rights and outburst from the commoners.

I wonder what “parts” El Paso will enforce View Quote The county passed what's called a "2nd amendment preservation resolution". That does not make El Paso a sanctuary county. The difference falls on if a county will follow the law if it passes or not. El Paso will follow the rules even if it's commissioners have publicly said they don't like them, but they will fight it in court, instead of ignoring it. Sheriff Bill Elder has publicly opposed the bill, and says he and county commissioners plan to obtain an injunction based on their belief that there are violations to the u.s. constitution should the bill pass. |
