When Your Sheriffs Tell the ATF to Go Pound Sand. (We Love Arkansas).

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a recent counter-trend to many of these very blue states not only banning guns and gun rights, but doing so in a lighting fast fashion, which is State law enforcement speaking quite openly and publicly about their beliefs in the effectiveness, or lack thereof, in much of this gun control legislation. Well along comes the Arkansas Sheriffs' Association, who fortunately, does not have a tyrannical Governor like so many of the other states we have covered here on Washington Gun Law, but instead chose to tell the ATF what they think of the new Pistol Brace Rule. What's even more impressive than the letter itself, is what the Arkansas State Legislature did in 2021 to ensure that the citizens of Arkansas will continue to live free, like Americans. What can we all learn from Arkansas? Find out and arm yourself with education.

** I wrote to my local Sheriff about this, and this was his response:
“Good to hear from you. The Sheriff's Office will not be enforcing this ATF rule. There are 3 branches of government for a reason, checks and balances. This is a breach of that process. It would be no different if I or any other police department started making rules and enforcing them. It would never fly. Laws are made by officials elected to the legislative branch by the people. Not officials appointed to offices in the executive branch.”

No matter if it’s a red or blue state, if your sheriff fights for your constitutional rights, you better do everything possible to keep them in office.

Any sheriff that tells the ATF to get lost needs an award.

This is a Sheriff that lives America, and took his oath of office seriously. He is helping to save us from our ATF, FBI, DOJ, CIA, and DHS who have turned into the Gestapo

Arkansas passed a law saying "we know brandon's admin is going to try to grab your guns, and we ain't having' it."

[markbowen]

Don't forget that it's not just the politicians we have to worry about. The news media are their willing partners.

[davidmercer]

Every state needs to do this and the ATF needs to be sued and then dismantled.

[lindabrewer]

Every state should have their Sheriff Association right the same letter!!!! Thank you for sharing this video. It is very heartwarming to see that there are people that are willing to stand up for our Second Amendment God bless each and every person that is willing to stand up for our Second Amendment right!!!!

Need more of this across the country. Bravo Arkansas Sheriffs Association. Way to stand your ground against the tyranny.

[codywharton]

I love what these sheriffs are doing. But “We the People” can’t let them do it alone. We need to stand by these strong men and woman who are fighting for us!

I'm an Illinois resident. I am a retired LEO. I retired shortly after these unconstitutional laws were passed. Unfortunately, I'm stuck living here for at least 3 more years. A positive, at least for now is there are many state's attorneys who have also vowed to refuse to prosecute "violations".

[daltongrayii]

As a resident of the the Natural State, I am proud to see the Sheriff’s association standing up for us. You have an open invitation to come visit our great state Mr. Kirk.

[michaelstrickland]

Support for our sheriff's here in Arkansas is whole heartedly recognized by the people!!!

[wolfman]

Hats off to the Arkansas Sheriffs Association!

[fatboyrowing]

Kudos to the Arkansas Sheriffs Association. And thank you to this channel for highlighting this reasonable act to safeguard our rights.

[okietrippin]

I’m a retired cop. I don’t know any police in my state of Oklahoma that would enforce this leftist insanity. Thanks for your content btw.

[davidlansdowne]

Sounds like real American teamwork. Thank you Sheriff's

Having observed the dockets for our legislators, here in Wash., and Nationwide, I immediately went our and purchased some guns. It' the only way I could demonstrate my disdain for all the efforts to deprive us of our rights. I took an oath, in the military, to support and defend our constitution, I still keep that oath, despite it having been over 47 years since I 1st took that oath. Unlike our polititions, I remember my oaths for longer than 3 hours after taking them.
