While I get and appreciate his POV, I also worry about LE deciding which laws they will and will not enforce. He's on the side of right, but can also set a precedent. He he swore an oath to uphold and defend the Const but picking and choosing which laws to uphold makes me uncomfortable, even if I fully agree with his POV on this issue:
REPUBLIC, Wash. – A local police chief in Washington state says he won’t enforce newly passed gun regulations that he claims “infringe” on the Second Amendment.
Washington now has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation after new regulations were passed by nearly 60 percent of the state this month, KXLY reported.
Under initiative 1639, the age to purchase certain guns has gone up, enhanced background checks are now required to buy a semi-automatic rifle and criminal charges can be brought against any gun owner who violates the safe storage provision.
With all of this going on, one local law enforcement official says he won’t be the one enforcing these laws.
In the small town of Republic, Chief Loren Culp took to Facebook to tell the citizens of his city, who voted overwhelmingly against the initiative, that he has no plans to implement the new statute.
