They won't ever have to enforce any laws that infringe on anyone's 2nd amendment rights. Because laws that do that would be thrown out by the Supreme Court. That's why the Sheriffs word it that way. I can't believe people are stupid enough to fall for this bullshit.

Go to one of these counties where Sheriffs are saying this and walk into the Sherif's office with a fully automatic machine gun. See if the Sheriff enforces this federal law. Of course he will, because the Supreme Court has already decided that a federal ban on such weapons does not violate the 2nd amendment.

No one in Washington is proposing anything more than a basic renewal of the assault weapons ban which was never deemed by the court to violate 2nd amendmenment rights. So the Sheriffs get to play wingnut tough guys with a hollow threat. Pathetic, really.
