In common law, the county Sheriff is the de facto leader of the posse or militia. And this has a potentially useful legal angle.
If state law permits, which it does in some states, the Sheriff could announce that all adult residents “of good character” in the county were members of the reserve posse, and thus were *required* to own some type or types of firearms and ammunition. With no records, and no penalty for not owning a firearm or ammunition. Like Kennesaw, GA, but at the county level.
However, this means that if the feds wanted to confiscate the arms of the citizenry of that county, they could only do so if they confiscated all firearms of all LEOs in that state.
Lots of wrinkles to be ironed out in this, but it might work at least in theory.
sounds great but when has this administration been concerned for what is can do legally?
