e sheriff also spoke directly to President Obama, reminding him of the importance of the Second Amendment and that an attempt to confiscate Americans’ firearms would “cause a revolution.”
“Now, Mr. Obama, you need to understand what the Second Amendment is for. It is not for hunting. It is there for the American people to protect themselves against the criminal elements, to protect themselves from terrorists and radical ideology and it’s also there to protect us against the government that has over reached its power.
“You are not our potentate, sir. You are our servant to serve and protect us first, and I suggest sir, since you’re a constitutional expert that you better review our history on the Constitution and understand that we are a free people and we are subject to no one other than the Almighty God and Jesus Christ the King.
“And as such sir, I strongly encourage you to trust the law-abiding American citizen because you won’t fail in that and we won’t let you down.
“But if you try to disarm us, sir, then you will cause a revolution in this country to occur. So, please revise your thinking because we are not your enemy, the law-abiding gun owner in this country.”
The call to arms follows others from sheriffs across the country, including one from Kentucky, Boone County Sheriff Michael Helmig, who told licensed residents it was their “responsibility to carry their firearm.”


From a North Texas Sheriff...

You too might benefit from the history and base of the legal system and founding principles.

Yet again, you've latched on to the One part , ignoring the whole of the meaning and content, because you see a few words you can ridicule.

We go down together. Or, we stay afloat. When will the direction become obvious for everyone?  Bubs and Dems HATE the Constitution. We need to get it back.

This is NOT the same society as existed at that time.  In this society very few of the citizens who have weapons can be trusted to act responsibly in the situations of those natures..

What I am saying is that having a weapon and possessing the experience, skill and mature sense of RESPONABILITY to utilize it properly are NOT mutually  inclusive........  Just because I have the financial and legal ability to obtain the latest wiz-bang-go-faster  200 horsepower superbike is no indication that I possess the skills to jockey it down the road to it's full potential.
