Oregon sheriff: 'Unconstitutional' gun control laws won't be enforced
Well, there's still some backbone left in this country:
An Oregon sheriff says he will not enforce any federal regulation that President Barack Obama lays out in his package of gun control proposals Wednesday. Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller joins several other public officials across the nation who have decided to square off with the White House even before it outlines what its plans are for expanded measures. Mueller sent a letter to Vice President Joe Biden this week saying he won't enforce any federal regulation "offending the constitutional rights of my citizens." He won't permit federal officers to come to his county to enforce such laws either, he said. Mueller's defiant stand exploded into a groundswell of support. His letter -- posted on the department's Facebook page -- earned more than 59,000 likes and shares -- and was growing by the minute.THIS is what we need more of!

Sheriff Wheeler's Response to President Obama's Executive Actions
January 17, 2013
Sheriff Wheeler Sworn In For A Second Term January 14, 2013
This last Monday, before a small group of friends and family, I took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the Idaho State Constitution and the laws of Idaho. Nowhere in my oath did I agree to uphold the arbitrary wishes of a President who strays outside his Constitutional authority. On January 16th, it was reported in the media that President Barak Obama signed 23 Executive Orders. This is not so. President Obama signed 23 “Executive Actions.” These so called “Executive Actions” are nothing more than 23 suggestions which do not have the force of law. This is nothing more than a Presidential Christmas “wish list” that he passed along to Congress for their approval.
Even though these “Executive Actions” do not constitute real law, the President has directed the Federal Agencies to carry them out. The Department of Justice, the A.T.F., the Centers for Disease Control, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the General Services Administration, the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security have all been tasked to carry out his wishes. He is also dove-tailing all his actions and attempting to restrict gun ownership by changing the rules within the Affordable Care Act.
So now that you know that, I urge you to push back by contacting your Idaho representatives on all levels, local, state and federal. Let’s not lose any ground. The law enforcers and the law makers need to be on the same page.
I believe that in order for the President to carry out his plans, he needs the approval of Congress. This is where you come in. I urge you to push back now by contacting your Idaho representatives on all levels, local, state and federal. The threat to your 2nd Amendment Rights will most likely come to your mailbox through a questionnaire in the mail, not a knock on your door. These regulations will most likely be tied to Federal dollars sent to you as an individual. Please contact this office immediately if you are threatened. I can't do anything if I don't know what is happening. Above all, keep your cool! I will come when you call. You can be assured my office will uphold and protect your 2nd Amendment rights.
Sheriff Daryl Wheeler
