>I know most rural sheriffs support gun rights.
The problem is: ...until they don’t
Their problem is: ...we all know where they live. We all know where they eat, shop, hunt, and vacation. They aren’t invisible and they’d best realize who voted them into office.
My spouse constantly says good LEO, Sheriffs, etc. online say they won’t confiscate and refuse. I’m not saying some won’t comply but I say I don’t believe it when push comes to shove. The oppressors will always find “good people” to kick in your door and haul your ass to the nearest gulag, concentration or re-education camp. Too much human history to back this up.
