Early Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 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law enforcement agencies/organizations only had the guts to say, "We will not enforce.....!", maybe these laws could be repealed.

13BVET Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I thought they weren't going to enforce it initially?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13BVET Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Early, do you have a link for that? I can't seem to find anything that says that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
