Kentucky Sheriff to Feds: 'You Are Never Going to Pull Guns Out of Jackson County'
As I wrote on Jan. 11, Jackson County Kentucky Sheriff Denny
Peyman has made it clear that gun laws which violate the United States
Constitution or the Kentucky Constitution will not be enforced in his
county.
On Jan. 12, he followed this up with a press conference in
which he explained that a Sheriff's powers are predominant over the powers of
federal and state agents. When he says these things he drives gun-grabbers batty
because he says them with the conviction that rests on knowledge, and he has no
intention of backing down.
During the press
conference, he took time to explain his powers as
sheriff:
I am responsible for the people inside this county. I am the highest elected official in this county, and this is the only opportunity the people have to speak for themselves and say 'this is what we want.'
I can ask federal people to leave, they have to leave. I can ask state people to leave, they have to leave. ...[And] it doesn't matter what [new laws] Obama passes, the sheriff has more power than the federal people. ......
