Colorado grants Secret Service vast new powers


Recommended Posts

I can pretty much say that it would not happen in the State of Alabama, at least not without some major changes in our politics.

But in Democrap controlled bastions of Libtardia, sure it will happen.

 

 

And speaking of local Sheriffs who believe in the Constitution and 2A, our Sheriff Sam Cochran does and will sign a NFA Form with a smile.

He also supports both Open & Concealed Carry, and has repeatedly stated that he is NOT for any State or Federal AWB or other 2A restrictions/gun control.

He is a regular on a local talk radio program, talking about local issues, and such issues always come up and he is always pro citizens Rights.

 

But, he is however, a proponent of May Issue CCW permits, and a current bill in our State Legistlature pushing Shall Issue has his hackles raised.

At least he is willing to talk about it with the public. My wife & I plan on being at this Town Hall, http://blog.al.com/press-releases/2013/03/town_hall_with_mobile_county_s.html

 

I give him the benefit of a doubt on his discretion, see below for his statistics.

But there are some asshole Sheriffs in other counties.

Vote for the other guy, put their sign in your yard and/or donate to their election fund and they will revoke or refuse to issue/renew.

Or have unwritten prerequisites that you make a $50.00 or more donation to their election fund in addition to the normal licensing fee.

Or follow the good'ol boy code.

 

 

Common Sense Campaign Tea Party will host a Town Hall with Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran on Monday, April 1, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. at Tillman's Corner Community Center, 5055 Carol Plantation Road, Mobile, AL. Additionally, our special guest will be the newly elected District 35 Alabama Senator Bill Hightower. For additional information, please call 626-7808 or 490-4699.

Sheriff Cochran will discuss gun control and gun rights issues -- in particular, proposed legislation in Congress and in the Alabama Legislature.

One Alabama Senate bill that has received a lot of attention is SB286, commonly discussed as "concealed carry." Sheriff Cochran notes that ALL 67 sheriffs in the state of Alabama believe the law with concealed carry is working in Alabama, saying “If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Current Alabama law gives sheriffs a margin of discretion in deciding whether or not to issue pistol permits to their constituents.

State law says sheriffs “may” issue a permit, thus allowing sheriffs to deny permits to the mentally ill or to convicted criminals.

According to Sheriff Cochran, "More than 36,000 concealed carry permits were issued in Mobile County this year; only 26 people who applied for a permit were turned down or revoked due to arrests, bad behavior, lengthy arrest records, drug violations, or other reasons gathered through investigative means that I thought they were unfit or a danger to have or continue to have a permit.

Each of these persons would have a right to appeal to Circuit Court.”

Replacing the word "may" with the word "shall" will take away that discretion.

In a news conference, Sheriff Cochran stated "This means forcing the sheriff to put pistols in the hands of people with mental health issues, previous arrest records, the town drunk, and numerous other reasons the sheriff currently uses in his discretion for them not to be issued a permit."

Additionally, according to Sheriff Cochran, the bill would "in essence allow teenagers to drive around with pistols in their vehicles."

In an interview with a Birmingham newspaper, Sheriff Cochran, Baldwin County Sheriff Hoss Mack and Escambia County Sheriff Grover Smith say they believe SB286 endangers the public more than it protects them.

Partisan politics is causing a severe rift in our country. No matter what a persons political opinions are, they should not be made to feel like criminals or unwanted in the state where they have spent their whole lives. The part that bothers me is that democrats have stopped serving their constituents and are serving a political agenda set by their party.

 

I only hope that come 2014 and again 2016 that the public outrage over this shows at the polls and people vote for people who care about fixing the country and not politicians who serve agendas.

TRAITORS

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

I knew this is what those fuckers were up to. Though many will say it will never happen in Texas, follow the link at the end.

 

 

There is a term for what is being talked about yet I can’t think of it. Rumor has it though that the Federal government is laying the groundwork to let the Secret Service start arresting Sheriff’s for not enforcing new gun control laws, starting with Colorado.

By the sounds of it, Colorado is being targeted with an attempt to set up loopholes that will allow the U.S. Secret Service to arrest and remove an elected sheriff for refusing to enforce the law, or anyone breaking the law. This means ALL Secret Service including uniformed division officers, physical security technicians, specialists, and other ‘special officers’.

In short they want to,

…establish federal authority police powers in a State, enabling an enforcement arm reporting directly to the president (Secret Service). It would enable the president / executive branch to theoretically override the actions and preventative measures that are now being taken by many States throughout the country who are trying to preserve 2nd Amendment gun rights and who are prohibiting the enforcement of unconstitutional law passed by Congress or pushed by executive order.

Most of us are well aware that just about every Sheriff across the country, including our own Weld and Larimer Sheriff’s, (about 350 in all) have all said they will not enforce any mandate from Washington if it violates the Second Amendment, which these future mandates do.

Many states are trying to pass gun control bills, but politicians in Colorado have all but passed Senate Bill SB-13-013 which will give “police powers” and “arrest authority” to the federal/executive branch of government (Secret Service) within the State.

Sound fun? Don’t worry Texas, it sounds like y’all are up next! (Read full story here.)

OK, realty time, because it's obvious you guys are knee jerk reacting to this, and not thinking or even looking up the bill to see what it has in it. WOLD NUT DAILY is as bad as PRAVDA was during the soviet regime, in that it take a small truth, in this case the senate bill, and fabricates the rest to get just the response you guys all doing, going off the deep end and making up things as you go along

 

if you read the bill

 

http://www.leg.state.co.us/clics/clics2013a/csl.nsf/fsbillcont3/79D915E94E9CD28F87257AEE0054A84C?open&file=013_01.pdf

 

it has nothing in there that they are going to go out of their way to arrest anybody unless they see a crime happening in front of them, which by the way, all LEO local, state and federal do anyway.

 

they are not going to go out of their way to arrest anybody who broke a state law that in itself is unenforceable anyway.

 

the secret service only has 2 responsibility and duties:

 

1) Financial Crimes, covering missions such as prevention and investigation of counterfeiting of U.S. currency and U.S. treasury securities, and investigation of major fraud

 

2) Protection, which entails ensuring the safety of current and former national leaders and their families, such as the President, past presidents, vice presidents, presidential candidates, visiting heads of state, and foreign embassies (per an agreement with the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) Office of Foreign Missions (OFM)

 

those 2 things right there keep the secret service busy as bees, they aren't going to start taking on enforcing state laws.

 

so this entire, "oh, now they're going to start arresting state LEO" is sheer and utter nonsense, the state already has those kinds of agencies to deal with that, CBI, state AG etc... the secret service isn't going to go anywhere near that mess.

It's my understanding that in Colorado the only person that can arrest a Sheriff is the coroner. This is why I suspect that they want to get the SS in here.

1) DAMMIT! Now I am going to have to get rid of all my magazines and clips, seeing that they are a one use only device, and 2) If Secret Service is truly responsible for overseeing financial crimes, and the counterfeiting of U.S. currency - why aren't they auditing the Fed Reserve and stopping the endless printing of paper money that has no value? Or protecting us from said over printing of U.S. currency by a non government entity (the federal reserve) that severly devalues the U.S. dollar, and causes every American citizen financial harm? We need to go back to a gold standard. And kick the bankers to the curb. I'm not religious, but even Jesus kicked the money changers out. Just goes to show that this is an age old problem.

the corner? where did you get that? coroners don't have any arresting powers, they are not LEs, they are medical examiners who's job is to determine how a person died, natural death, suicide, murder etc...

 

again, a state agency or local authority has arresting powers for sheriffs, the CBI, AG, DA/prosecutor.
