Garrett County Sheriff Opposes State’s Gun Regulation

CUMBERLAND — OAKLAND — Garrett County Sheriff Robert Corley provided a resolution he claims protects citizens’ Second Amendment rights in regard to the Maryland Firearms Safety Act of 2013 for the county commissioners’ support during the commission meeting on Tuesday.

Corley proclaimed his opposition to the MFSA and asked for support in allowing himself and deputies to use sound discretionary enforcement of the MFSA against any citizen unless they are engaged in commission of a crime of violence, a violent act, have been convicted of a prior felony, are adjudicated with a dangerous mental illness or under any other related compelling exigent circumstances.

“I’m asking you to join me in my commitment to the law-abiding citizens of Garrett County because such enforcement will greatly reduce the likelihood of criminalizing law-abiding citizens,” said Corley. “I believe that the MFSA violates the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution that cleary states, ‘The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.’”

Who is going to arrest him? Mike Lewis is President of the State Sheriff's Association. Last count there were 17 of 24 counties against this gun law. Now is the time for Lewis to be a man, a leader and step forward and take a stand.

The foreign political traitors, now in Washington D.C. had better think twice about who they "think" they're going to use, to implement their foreign will and foreign religion, against the American people, whether it's the police or the military, they'll find out that those human Americans are our friends, our brothers and sisters, our children, and their common sense will prevail over the will of foreign powers. The foreigners are going to pay a heavy price for their dictatorial arrogance and their lack of judgement of our own citizens. We, Americans, are NOT for sale, for any price or for any reason. We will NOT allow our principles, our christian values to be compromised by double talking, multi-named islamic foreign traitors, regardless of their exalted position in federal government. We are Free, we think freely and will fight to the death, any and all changes to the removal of those freedoms. You liberals can go straight to Hell, you are NOT dictating your satanic, ungodly ideals upon American Christians. When the pendulum swings back at you, you sick bunch of traitors will finally receive a healthy return on your investment, of attempting to destroy our country, a return of which, your not going to enjoy.
