County sheriffs are elected to enforce laws adopted through the legislative process and ballot box, no matter if they like them. Sheriffs are not elected to write laws, nor prosecute them. And they’re certainly not elected to act like judges with badges, deciding by fiat which laws to uphold or ignore. That’s why Washington residents should be distressed by a growing parade of sheriffs who’ve said they won’t enforce Initiative 1639, the gun-safety measure ratified by 59 percent of voters in the Nov. 6 election. |

Hopefully they will not violate [Their oath of office] by being pressured into enforcing any unconstitutional provision, law or executive order.”
The Sheriffs have unwavering Loyalty to the Original Constitution.

These men took an oath to enforce the constitution as all LEO and military do. It is not a matter of like or dislike the law. The law is unconstitutional and that is why they won't enforce it.
Politicians also take an oath to enforce the constitution, but we all know how ethical many politicians are. |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
