Gun Grabbers up in Arms over Oregon Sheriff

In the wake of the tragic shooting that occurred at the Umpqua Community College in Oregon, the gun grabbers have set their sights on a familiar target. That is, anyone who doesn’t toe the Progressive line. In this case it happens to be the Sheriff of Douglas County, who had the audacity to have a controversial opinion. Gather your pitchforks everybody, there’s a monster in our midst.
Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin, a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, is under the microscope after a letter resurfaced that he had written to Vice President Joe Biden threatening not to enforce potential gun restrictions.
His esteem among gun control advocates suffered another hit following reports that he once shared a video on Facebook that suggested the U.S. government staged the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting to “disarm the public.”
“This makes me wonder who we can trust anymore,” he wrote on the since-deleted post. “Watch, listen, and keep an open mind.”
Hanlin later distanced himself from these conspiracy theories, telling CNN on Friday, “That’s not a conspiracy theory belief that I have.”
Dan Gross, president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, has been leading the charge against Sheriff Hanlin. Due to his past opinions, Gross doesn’t think that Hanlin should be allowed to run the shooting investigation. He also thinks that Hanlin’s refusal to uphold unconstitutional gun laws is a violation of his “sworn responsibility as a sheriff.” I guess that swearing an oath to the US Constitution, something that all police officers have to do, just doesn’t mean anything these days.
