Why would the state want to attack sheriffs? Something more is going on here than meets the eye.

So they can't arrest feds when they come to enforce the bans. Been reading the news about the sheriffs lately? Gun bans?stroo wrote:Why would the state want to attack sheriffs? Something more is going on here than meets the eye.

Yep. Sheriffs are typically elected officials at the county level. That means, if you've seen a county-by-county heat map of Presidential elections, there are far more conservative Sheriffs than liberal ones.anygunanywhere wrote:So they can't arrest feds when they come to enforce the bans.

February 24? Is this deja vu all over again or something?AndyC wrote:http://americanfreepress.net/?p=3590" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;This time it is Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, son of Vice President Joe Biden, sending out mandates to commissioners informing them that their sheriffs no longer have arrest powers. In an opinion released Feb. 24, State Solicitor L.W. Lewis said that neither the state nor the common law grants arrest powers to the county sheriffs.
It would appear that Lewis is a little confused. The office of sheriff was created more than a century before the official founding of the United States. Delaware’s first sheriff took office in 1669.
