The gigantic logic failure of gun confiscating

[Lee-Lee]

192. Have you paid attention to what LE actually thinks?

Sheriff's in CO are openly refusing to enforce the states new gun laws and even challenging them in court.

Sheriff's in NY openly say they won't enforce the new gun control laws.

Many Sheriff's departments and pd's are very supportive of private firearms ownership. My department sent and paid for me to be certified to teach basic handgun and rifle safety courses and offered them for free, and sent me to be certified to teach concealed carry and I did classes for the public using the Sheriff's Department classroom and range facilities. Ohh, and the Sheriff was a Democrat. Welcome to reality in rural America.

You can't force a local or state LE officer to enforce a Federal law. Likewise you can't force any agency to enforce a law if they don't want to make it a priority. It's all up to whoever runs that agency- the precident can be seen right now in the Presidents decision to not enforce or defer action on some immigration issues. The head of the agency said we are using our discretion to not enforce these laws, so they are not.

Try passing confiscation and you will see the same thing on a much more massive scale. And unless the head of the agency is onboard you won't see people fired. Now take a look again at the county by county breakdown from the last election- in every red county you won't see the people in charge going for it, and in far more of the rural blue ones than most here would think.
