This Is What We Must Worry About

[Early]

Article in Albany Times Union today: Saratoga County Sheriff's department "opposes...but will enforce" Cuomo's new gun laws. Did they not take an oath to support the Constitution? If law enforcement agencies/organizations only had the guts to say, "We will not enforce.....!", maybe these laws could be repealed.

I thought they weren't going to enforce it initially?!

Early, do you have a link for that? I can't seem to find anything that says that.

I thought thats what I heard too.

What I heard was that there were quite a few individual sheriffs that claimed they would not enforce this law. They were of the opinion that the law was unconstitutional. I suppose that after they calmed down and thought about it a bit, they realized that they were hanging out there without a legal leg to stand on. Hopefully their original opinion of the constitutionality of this law will eventually turn out to be the case, but most likely they were reminded that the constitutionality of this law has not been ruled on by any court yet. They kind of got the horse before the cart.
