(NaturalNews) Local sheriffs are the preeminent legal authority in the
country and have the power, by constitutional design, to prevent or
refuse enforcement of federal statutes which violate the U.S.
Constitution or their oaths of office, according to one former sheriff
who has battled the Feds over gun laws and won.
Richard Mack, the one-time sheriff of Graham County, Ariz., said in a recent interview with WorldNetDaily.com
that he joined with then-Rivalli County Sheriff Jay Printz in a
successful lawsuit against the federal government during President
Clinton's terms during the 1990s to oppose provisions of the Brady Bill
gun-control law.
Since winning that battle, Mack has been a
leader in the movement emphasizing the roles and responsibilities of
local sheriffs. And now that gun control is once again at the forefront
of domestic policy, both inside the Obama White House and Congress, Mack
says once more that hope remains in local law enforcement.
