Maryland Sheriff to Feds: Try and Take Our Guns, and You’ll Get a Civil War
Early
last year, as Americans feared that the federal government would enact
unconstitutional anti-gun measures via executive edict, support for the
Constitution came from some unlikely places. Even in Oregon, a Democrat
stronghold in elections, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller flat-out
declared that he and his office would refuse to enforce any such
unconstitutional federal laws or regulations.
Mueller wrote,
“We
are Americans. We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of
criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to
enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens
who have broken no laws.”
Mueller later stated,
“We’re
restricted and prohibited from enforcing all types of federal laws,
including immigration laws. It would be unreasonable for anyone to think
that I would enforce a federal firearms law.”
Since
then, anti-gun crusaders have slowed down amidst fierce push-back from
patriots. Still, patriotic law enforcers are willing to speak out.
Wicomico
County Sheriff Mike Lewis, a sheriff in the state of Maryland, recently
reminded the citizens of his county that he will not violate the
Constitution and warned the federal government that any attempt to
disarm Americans will result in an all-out Civil War.
“I
made a vow and a commitment,” Lewis said. “As long as I am sheriff of
this county, I will not allow the federal government to come in here and
strip my citizens of the right to bear arms.”
Sheriff
Lewis is mindful of keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous
felons, but also explained, “[W]e do not need to strip law abiding
citizens of their Second Amendment right to bear arms. That I get upset
over. I really do.”
Sheriff
Lewis also added a stern warning to the federal government about what
will happen if they try to disarm the law-abiding populace:
“I can tell you this,” Lewis said, “if they attempt to do that, it will be an all-out civil war. No question about it.”
It’s
encouraging to see that even as federal lawmakers and supposed federal
law enforcers forget their duty to preserve liberty on behalf of the
American people, rampant tyranny is bound to be checked by local
authorities and the will of a fierce American population that is armed
and unwilling to acquiesce to tyrants.
