Yet Another Gun Outrage in USA

[RonTexas]

I wonder if the Americans on Buriram Expats are a true reflection of that country?

What does "go figure" actually mean?

It sounds a pointless expression.

You can trust that that we are the best of the best. Before you comment on Americans, perhaps you should learn a little first.  If you do not know then figure it out or "go figure".

I thought that might wake up the red necks :-)

Madison Co. Sheriff: Gun Control Laws That Violate Constitution Won’t Be Enforced


HUNTSVILLE, Ala.(WHNT) – A sweeping set of gun control proposals laid out by President Obama on Wednesday is adding more fuel to a growing national debate, and one local lawman is raising concerns that the proposed legislation is unconstitutional.

Madison County Sheriff Blake Dorning told WHNT News 19 that his office will not enforce new gun control legislation if he feels those laws violate the Second Amendment. Dorning said he has serious doubts about President Obama’s latest proposals, stating that any gun laws which do pass would have to be in line with the U.S. Constitution and Alabama state law in order to be enforceable.

“The federal authorities can try to enforce it,” said Dorning. “I’m the Sheriff of Madison County. I took a constitutional oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America, to defend the Constitution of the State of Alabama, even if it takes my life. That is my position.”

Sheriff Dorning is the latest in a chorus of lawmen from across America who are saying they may not enforce new gun control legislation. President Obama’s call for a new assault weapons ban and 10-round magazine limit were the headlines in what some say are the most stringent gun control measures ever. The President cannot get the two major revisions unless Congress signs off, but Sheriff Dorning said even if they do, Washington is not his final authority.

“As long as you are a law-abiding citizen, then I don’t see a problem with law-abiding citizens being able to arm themselves however they so choose,” said Dorning, who pledged to ignore any law that would call for the confiscation of assault weapons or any other firearm. “Our people in our communities and homes need not fear that the Sheriff of Madison County or his deputies would come to their homes and make an attempt to disarm them. It will not happen under my watch.”

I would be more worried that a public official believes that he cann make his own mind up on what laws he will enforce and those he won't. What are his qualifications to judge whether something is constitutional and what is not?.......surely he should do the job he is paid to do.... Leave it for the NRA etc to fight it out in court. It's bloody anarchy

If you see what damage a round does in that rifle compared to a 9mm then you would understand why they need to be banned from the home.. Your an x soldier so you obviously know this.. A rifle is not the same as a handgun so please stop telling people it is..
