I was a 17 year old kid right off the farm when I held up my right hand. How did I, a high school educated kid understand the oath I took and yet this fool, supposedly well educated doesn't? Was I so much smarter 40 years ago than I am now?

Dan Elliott of, the Associated Press credits Sheriff Grayson Robinson with the following statement: "Public safety professionals serving in the executive branch do not have the constitutional authority, responsibility, and in most cases, the credentials to determine the constitutionality of any issue,"

Police officers and sheriff’s deputies across this entire country have statutory authority and make decisions daily to arrest or not based upon the elements of offenses which are spelled out in hundreds of penal codes and other statutes. Almost every one of these statutes is considerably more complicated than are the 27 words of Amendment II of the United States Constitution. Each of the individual officer’s arrest decisions rest upon his interpretation of the respective statute(s), and his personal observations as to the proscribed action(s) he alleges were committed by the arrested person. If an officer is not intelligent enough to determine whether a statute is compatible with Amendment II, he is probably not capable of functioning as a peace officer.

People of Arapaho County, Your sheriff is NOT on your side. He believes only in his position of power and that is what he will cherish. His letter is the weasel speak of a coward and and opportunist.

Sheriff Robinson, the Civil Rights Act of 1871 would like a word with you.

If the right to keep and bear arms can be taken, any of our constitutionally protected rights can be taken. We see in the last few days that other rights are being attacked. Now that the freedom of the press and of communication is under open attack, the media are squawking. They by and large are hostile to our right to have implements of defense but now that their "ox" is being "(Al) Gored," they are standing up and protesting loudly.

The Supremes in United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939) determined that the 2d Amendment specifically protects the arms that are issued to the foot soldier. It does not protect arms that have no reasonable use by a "militia." (Like what?? Peashooters?)
However, this principle would apply to any arms ever issued to foot soldiers of any military or militia in the world throughout history.
These are precisely the arms that O'Bama has declared he intends to deny to The People.
