Article in today's NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/16/us/sheriffs-refuse-to-enforce-laws-on-gun-control.html?hp&_r=0
Can a county in CO, CA, CT, NYS, etc pass a law that does not recognize a state or federal law? In this example, can a CO county say there is no maximum for a magazine capacity and it's legal in that county? I realize outside of that county it changes but... ?
That's funny, seeing as these big cities have a demonstrably greater need for the average citizen to go armed than rural areas . If only we could impart this fact upon the people so frequently brutalized and burglarized in the inner city.Unfortunately, these sheriffs represent sparsely populated rural areas. This reflects the gun debate at large: the antigunners are concentrated in large urban centers. What's bad for our side is that that's where the bulk of the voters are. You see this in state after state -- Maryland, for example, would be pro-gun if it were not for Baltimore and the D.C. suburbs. And Virginia is rapidly becoming that way too.
The refusal to enforce is a grandstand to draw attention to how absolutely stupid these laws are and how absolutely unenforceable they are.
