As a LEO how do enforce gun laws, in good conscience, that clearly contradict the 2nd Amendment?
EghtySx,
So you're comparing the United States to Nazi Germany?
There's a difference in a law and an order. I am under no obligation to follow an unlawful order. Key word being unlawful.
Twisting again. If a law is unconstitutional, it is unlawful as the constitution is the highest law of the land.
Stop assigning your own meaning to things when the question is obvious.
No. I was comparing police who blindly follow unconstitutional orders to nazi soldiers.
No. I was comparing police who blindly follow unconstitutional orders to nazi soldiers. You sound like Sarah Brady twisting words like that.
We should be able to agree that the first law of the land regarding firearms is this:
"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
The fact of the matter is, that until a court rules that a law is unconstitutional, that law has the same force as if it were part of the constitution. that's it, game over. That's how we do things under our form of government.
Yet, why is it that practically every proposed gun control law has strong backing of law enforcement? Sheriffs, chiefs, police unions, etc. I'll do a news search on the state level for stories from the past year if necessary. Law enforcement sponsorship/backing is THE single common denominator. Can everyone stipulate to this fact?
