The 2nd Amendment does not exist in New York, why should the rule of law?
The left-leaning (and Warren Buffett owned) Buffalo News has a typical leftist vendetta against Sheriff Howard. They are trying to bring him down with fake news, and his recent statement against Cuomo’s executive order will tick them off even more.
I once wrote an example of how Civil War II will start, and this fits into the scenario I envisioned. Local officials would refuse to implement orders from the state. The state sends in its National Guard and fighting erupts between local, county, state LEOs, and the NG. Federal troops are poised to move in when their orders are countermanded by a fractured federal government. Federal troops split their allegiances, and war begins.
PING
Maybe the Sheriff should arrest the governor for violating immigration law.
This is another Sheriff, who carries out his duties as instructed by the constitution and not by petty politics. He better get ready for a liberal judge to bring charges as was done to our Sheriff Joe Arpio. He will find out he can only enforce laws that are politically correct. Our prayers are with you.
It's going to be the People's Sheriff vs. El Capo Cuomo in the shootout at the Erie County Corral!
Can someone post a photo?
I wouldn't want to fool around with this veteran lawman !

Good for him ignoring this poop stain of a governor.
Reminds me of when 55 of Colorado’s 64 elected sheriffs announced in 2013 they wouldn’t enforce the suite of vague and unconstitutional anti-gun laws passed by the Dem legislature regarding intra-state “transfers” and “high-capacity” magazines.
Actually, it turns out NONE of Colorado’s sheriffs or any other LEO in the state, whether announced or not, have enforced any of those laws EVER!
To the best of my knowledge, not a single case under those laws has ever been brought against a single person or business since these bogus laws were passed here four years ago.
The only consequence that I’m aware of is that the “transfer” law inadvertently made it essentially impossible for any group in the state to conduct gun “buy-backs”.
The only “position” I want Cuomo to be in is on his stomach with his hands cuffed behind his back.
What his “position” is with his cellmate DuRag is his problem.
Cuomo is a sorry sack of cat droppings.
Let me see if I can understand this. The Governor issues an order to break a federal law. The Sheriff refuses to comply. The Governor decides to remove the Sheriff for? Not breaking the law?
I want to be on that jury.
Well at least in NY a Sheriff can speak his mind via his duties. In MA, they turned the Sheriff’s into those who take care of the incarcerated....
I hope some of the other sheriffs will join this sheriff in fighting this. Cuomo needs to be defeated in 2018. By the way, is he in the VI? I bet he has a house there and went to see if it was damaged by Irma...
Erie County has over a million population. Not some rural sheriff!
Detestable cuomo has no room to complain here. He has made it a prime cause to disobey and frustrate legitimate US law in New York. The fact that another authority in his own state takes the same stance regarding pronouncements from Albany is just a little too sweet.
Hooray for Erie County, where I grew up. Good “real” people there generally.
