One thing to keep in mind is Utah's ongoing fight with the Federal Government over land and land rights.

More than half of all the land in the state of Utah belongs to every American. That’s right, it’s federal, which means everyone’s taxes go to support it. But in a challenge to more than 100 years of legal precedent, state leaders, including Governor Gary Herbert, have passed legislation saying that the federal government has reneged on a promise it made to Utah when the state was created, which is that those lands would one day revert back to private property.
And that’s precisely the rub: Utah’s bill would force the feds to sell the land to private stakeholders, generating sales tax that would support Utah’s vastly underfunded schools, where classroom sizes are ballooning to the nation’s highest per-state average.
I am not saying that the sheriff's proclamation about gun rights is directly related, only that the people of the state are getting fed up with the Fed.
No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor. -- Murdock v. Pennsylvania If the State converts a right into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right with impunity. -- Shuttleworth v. City of Birmingham
I like it....direct, well written and to the point. It is also nice that it came from an association of Sheriff's, rather than piecemeal as I have seen previously on this subject. I think the group standing together is much more noticeable. The question is, will the current occupants in Washington actually notice?
One wonders why the New Yorkistan state House of Representatives Majority Leader did not want his minority leader republican colleague to read into the House record the list of democrat perfidies that did NOT make it into their AWB/magazine bill. He knows that, as sure as God made little green apples, democrats would be instantly revealed for WHO THEY REALLY ARE—party apparatchiks in the Stalinist Politburo mold, willing to trample any freedom, completely rape any part of the Constitution ("violate" is not strong enough of a word to express their intentions), perpetrate any violence on American citizens to attain their disarmed utopia.
He said that he was afraid it would destroy the spirit of compromise they had attained. Darn tootin' it would have. The spirit of compromise should have been destroyed before they ever got the bill to the floor for a vote!
That's why I call it "New Yorkistan." Democrats there haven't got any more idea of how a constitutional republic works than does any member of the Taliban; they have less reverence for the idea than any Jihadi; and like the Taliban, they don't CARE.....they just want the unimpeded power to do their evil. For those of you not familiar with it, New Yorkistan is located across the river from New Jerseystan, and to the south and est of New Englandstan, in what used to pass for the eastern United States.........back when anybody with a high school education understood what the Constitution says. Today they just use it for toilet paper.
