[QUOTE="Raoul Duke, post: 2307598, member: 27529"] I think this is particularly 2A relevant for the office of Sheriff, considering the new NFA Trust sign off requirement in the Obama executive order: [URL="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303492504579111243276511128.html"]http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303492504579111243276511128.html[/URL] [I]Under the new rule, proposed Sept. 9 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, people linked to the trusts also would have to obtain a sign-off from local law enforcement and undergo criminal background checks. The proposal is open to public comment until December. The proposed rule is galvanizing gun-control supporters, who say silencers inherently make a weapon more dangerous, and gun-rights advocates, who say the popular portrayal of silencers as the tools of criminals is off base and that silencers protect owners' hearing. Gun dealers said signatures are hard to get in many jurisdictions. The ATF acknowledged as much, disclosing in its proposal that several sheriffs and police chiefs had privately expressed their discomfort at signing off on applications for items regulated under the National Firearms Act. A spokeswoman for the ATF declined to comment. Sheriff David B. Shoar in St. Johns County, Fla., said last year that he would no longer sign off on the paperwork for those seeking weapons covered by the National Firearms Act, including silencers.[/I] This would come in handy if an activist Sheriff in our state ever got in power, got out of line and decided to deny all NFA Individual and/or Trust sign-offs.
