There's been a fair point raised regarding the Sheriffs in Utah and now Missouri that have pledged not to enforce (and in some cases actively oppose, including by force) any attempt to play games with the Second Amendment.

That is, simply put: Is this newfound love of the Constitution something that applies only to guns?  Or are you prepared to do so with the rest of the Constitution -- you know, like the 4th and 5th Amendments too?

Maybe you can explain exactly where the Federal Government (under the Constitution, again) gets to pass laws regulating drugs other than those that actually flow across state lines?

That is, if you produce and consume (or even sell) a drug within a given state where is the US Government's Constitutional argument for regulating (prosecuting, interdicting, etc) same?

There isn't one, of course.  The US Government knew this back in the early 1900s, which is why we had a Constitutional Amendment passed to prohibit alcohol sales.  That's also been conveniently forgotten -- including by all these newly-minted Constitutional defenders.

So let's see Mr. Sheriffs, are you ready to, in addition to defending the Second Amendment (good) also prepared to:

• Stop all the rape-scans and gropes in our Airports?
  
  
• Stop DHS "VIPR" teams from operating in your County?
  
  
• Stop enforcing federal drug laws?

And, of course, kick out (or arrest) all the Federal agents who might want to enforce or cause to occur any of the above?

In short, did you just wake up from what has been a terrible mistake on your part and are you now prepared to vow to sin no more?  Or is your newfound love of the Constitution limited to the Second Amendment and guns?

Because if it's the latter then your claims are not to be believed...... are they?

Just wondering.

For those who can't figure out the reason for the question, it's simply this -- it is far worse to think someone will take a stand, especially when, as happened with Utah, they pledge to actually do so armed and die if necessary, and then find out they were lying rather than believe up front that they will cooperate with such a grab.  Simply put there is little worse than having someone profess they are allied with your beliefs and then find out that they are a traitor to that belief system -- or worse, they are an active enemy agent! 

Oh, and one final thought: The government has never lied to you before.... right?
