Indiana Sheriff to Obama: I Won't Register Guns

Sheriff Brad Rogers, the top-ranking law enforcement official for Elkhart County, Indiana, said during a panel appearance on WNIT’s “Politically Speaking” segment, that he wouldn’t abide government orders to register weapons from private citizens within his jurisdiction, no matter what President Obama presses.

“We’ve always had this conversation that we need more reasonable gun control put in place,” Rogers said, Infowars reported. “Well, we have what is reasonable, in my opinion, and in fact it’s probably overdone.”

He then said he actually tells residents under his jurisdiction they shouldn’t register their firearms.

“I’m from the government, and I don’t think the government has any place in gun registration,” Rogers said. “The government shouldn’t know who’s got weapons … we’ve seen in other countries what could happen when the government knows who has what guns.”

And he went on, saying citizens should always resist the idea of registrations for firearms.
