Douglas County Sheriff opposes gun control

Justme- by your logic chevrolet corvettes sports cars should be illegal. why would you need a car that has the capability to go over 2 times the legal speed limit. Quit drinking the liberal media cool-aid.

Just cut the machine kind gun out...why would you need it for hunting, it ruins your prey. The phycos and criminals will still slip thru no matter what,just steal 'em. The forefathers did not imagine this technology and types of armoury.

Judging a persons mental health to own a gun with Obamacare Cash Bonus Bias is what we will have ..... I don't think you can one size fits all judge the state of a persons mental health to determine if they qualify for gun ownership by just asking all doctors to be that judge , because this sets up a scenario of political influence over the doctors that already are going to experience income disparity from Cuts from Obamacare that could be used to influence with a financial benefit if the doctors are given a extra Bonus for the amount of people that are found to be unqualified to own a gun not just because they are showing signs of mental illness . See Leaving this up to just your doctor without a 3 rd party intervention that is not being bias towards the judgment process because of some sort of bonus coming from the Obamacare financial aid envelope for producing more and more banned gun owners is where we now need to take this debate fast or this could have a broad sweeping ban on a large percent of people owning guns ! This needs serious debate about how many doctors and outside professionals that are in the judgment overview of a persons state of mind that is not a beneficiary of Obamacare in any way shape or form is how a persons state of mind should be judged . Thanks for your time and take care .

The sheriff is going by his oath to protect and uphold the Constitution of the United States.Thank God we have a man who doesn't bow to King Obama.

Wrong again Baldr: the sheriff is not legally required to enforce "federal regulations". FYI, I won't be reading your misinformed and poorly researched blog.

Sorry, but he can't pick and choose which laws he enforces, and it isn't up to sheriff's to play "judge" and decide which laws are constitutional or not. New gun regulations may rub this "Wild West" sheriff the wrong way, but he still has to enforce them. Otherwise, it's time for him to step down.
