The warnings come as President Obama on Wednesday unveiled a comprehensive plan to address gun violence, based on the recommendations from the Vice President Biden-led task force. The plan includes a call for legislation to ban assault weapons as well as a variety of executive actions.
But in Oregon, Linn County Sheriff Tim Mueller wrote a letter to Biden Monday saying his department will not enforce any new gun laws it considers unconstitutional.
Mueller said politicians are "attempting to exploit the deaths of innocent victims" by supporting laws that would harm law-abiding Americans. The sheriff said he took an oath to support the Constitution, and laws preventing citizens from owning certain semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines would violate their rights.
"We are Americans," Mueller wrote. "We must not allow, nor shall we tolerate, the actions of criminals, no matter how heinous the crimes, to prompt politicians to enact laws that will infringe upon the liberties of responsible citizens who have broken no laws."

In historical retrospect, if Europeans had resisted Hitler's gun control we might not have had ww2. BUT watch out for the "SS" troops.
The SS Troops are the State Police, but I am not sure if some of them will obey this tyrannical President.
Wow. I think some people should read the posting about legal pot and chill.
you should never punish society for the actions of one man. thanks sjd
I urge citizens to contact their representatives in Congress and and tell them if they vote for this nonsense of the bill, they will be no re-election. And we will bring this to their doors.
Will someone ask Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis if he would enforce this law on Wicomico county citizens? Will he honor his oath and will he protect the 2nd amendment? Lets just get him on record before he has time to ask O'Malley what he should do.
Wow. I think some people should read the posting about legal pot and chill.
