Colorado Sheriff: We Have Not and Will Not Enforce New Gun
Control
Weld County, Colorado, Sheriff John Cooke says he and his deputies have not
enforced the gun control laws passed in March and they will not enforce those
laws.
Before the laws were passed Cooke
said he would not enforce them, and since their passage he has made good on his
promise.
According to The New York Times,
Cooke explains his position by pointing to the myriad ambiguities and gray
areas in the new laws.
For example, at a recent press
conference Cooke held up two 30-round magazines, one of which was possessed
before the new ban went into effect on July 1st and the other was purchased
afterward--"maybe." He then "[shuffled] the magazines, which
look identical, and asked the audience to tell the difference."
As the audience sat unable to
comply, Cooke asked: "How is a deputy or an officer supposed to know which
is which?"
Cooke is joined by other sheriffs
both in his own state and around the country who refuse to enforce new gun
control laws passed this year.
Siskiyou, California
Sheriff Jon Lopey was part of a delegation of CA sheriffs who met with Governor Jerry Brown to ask him to veto
gun control laws in October. Brown vetoed some, but signed others. A ban on
lead ammunition, an expansion of the criminal storage law, and a ban on
"conversion kits" for ammunition magazines were among the laws Brown
signed.
Lopey says: "Our way of life
means nothing to these politicians." Likewise, he said, gun control does
not mean that much to him and its enforcement is "not a priority."
