While President Obama may have used Cops as Props last week, this week brings a new chapter as 37 of Colorado’s 62 elected sheriffs are prepared to move forward with a lawsuit seeking to overturn the ban on magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds and background checks on private gun sales.
The Denver Post interviewed Weld County Sheriff John Cooke and Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee about the lawsuit. McKee explained the crux of the suit:
“We are concerned that (the law) is unenforceable and does nothing to impede criminal activity but does infringe upon the rights of good Colorado citizens that want to own firearms.”
While the lawsuit is still in its infancy according to those who’ve signed on, the Independence Institute’s Dave Kopel, a Second Amendment scholar, is spearheading the legal effort. Kopel has testified numerous times at Colorado’s Capitol during the gun grab debates. He also has served as an expert in explaining to our dear Democratic Colorado legislators how a gun works, and which part of the gun is what.
It’s expected that the lawsuit will be filed within the next few weeks. It’s probably pretty safe to assume that none of these 37 sheriffs will be standing behind Obama EVER.
Courage is always under fire. Stand alone, and your just a headache… Stand as a group, and you become a foundation.
Awww, how sad for them. This law is here to stay. Get over it!
Thank you!!
Sheriffs we veterans have your back. We are oath Keepers to the Constitution. It is time for the Sheriffs and Veterans to cover each others backs more now than ever. I know DHS has told our Sheriffs that Veterans are a threat to you. We are not a threat to anyone that is willing to defend the Constitution.
Here are a few links to read up on.

Thank you for protecting our second amendment rights. May generations to come live by your example. God bless you and keep you safe. I am praying for our country, and saddened by the ignorance of its governmental leaders.
I live in Weld county and applaud our Sheriff, Thank You!
What does it matter if they come from rural counties? Sheriffs protect everyone!
There is more to the world then Denver miah
Naturally almost all of them are from rural counties
Thanks for standing up for the 2nd! Common sense & guts are as rare as dinosaurs these days…………..ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ.
Thumbs up
Thank you. I'm sure you will have lots of support.

Here in Indiana, hoping that OUR sheriffs follow your lead….. can get ANY info on how this state supports or not supports the Constitution or if they HONOR their oaths to protect and defend. Up north yes, there is honor….. don't know a thing about Indianapolis, Marion Co.
THANK YOU FOR STANDING UP FOR THE PEOPLE OF COLORADO! BE SURE TO RE-ELECT THESE SHERIFF'S! DOES SOMEONE HAVE A LIST OF THESE SHERIFF'S?
Thank you for having the balls go against what ovomit tries to ram down out throats and thank you for standing up for the oath you took to defend OUR CONSTITUTION.
Thanks we will support you guys all the way
Thank you Colorado Sheriffs!
Yup, make them (in)famous.
As well as saying thank you, personally would like to know how to help with the legal fees that will be incurred on behalf of my 2nd amendment rights and my countries constitution. Thank you.
There is still some hope left!
I feel very sorry for all you Idiots that think gun control will bring world peace. The only thing it will bring is CONTROL. Back up your Sheriff or learn to like Communism.
We need more people to contact the Sheriff's and get pressure on them.
Dave I could not help but notice how well written your statement above is. Two problems though the progressives will not get it because it is based on logic and not emotion, they only have a right side to thier brains, no left side and it is written above the third grade level.
Just wait Dave. After the other side passes what they want (Universal background checks-magazine ban) there will be another shooting and then they'll want more…..
Hey Dave, are you ready to move to Texas yet?
I am amazed at the display of ignorance and low IQ by many of our elected people– particularly Democrats. It seems STUPID is a requirement to get elected in the Democrat party. Devising laws about something you know absolutely nothing about and being too arrogant to listen and learn from facts (FBI statistics) and the other side and then making a informed decision based on facts and representative of the majority of the people that elected them seems to not be in the Democrat play book. Also, it is so sad to see a governor like Hickenlooper who at one time seemed like a intelligent man succumb to the Democrat Party level of base FEDERAL SOCIALISM. Sieg Hiel General Hickenlooper. Sieg Hiel Chancellor Obama. Sieg Hiel General Bloomburg.
Please be in contact with your local sheriff and let them know you are standing WITH them and they have your full support.
There are only 62 sheriffs in Colorado. Denver and Broomfield County do not have a sheriff, so all the sheriffs in the state support this.
Thank you!!
Way to go guys!
I am not from Colorado but I applaud your efforts and hope that other states join you officers in endeavor.
Please post a list of the Sheriffs that oppose or stay neutral on this lawsuit so their constituents know who they are.
Thank you gentlemen, I will gladly support you in any way.
Look at what they just passed in Colorado.

It's past time all our sheriffs stood up for the Constitution!
Thank you for STANDING in UNITY FOR our 2nd AMENDMENT! We HAVE to STAND in UNITY AGAINST the president's scare tactics because our nation is fighting WITHIN itself which is WHAT the president WANTS to WEAKEN us. "WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!" Matthew 19:26 We MUST REMEMBER "ONE NATION UNDER GOD" to STAY in UNITY and NOT BECOME divided!
They make me proud to be a Coloradan… Not something our other public officials have been doing much of lately.
Common sense must prevail. Keep up the fight.
I live in Delta County and so appreciate knowing the our Sheriff is in on this lawsuit. He's an honest and fair man, and I am proud that he is standing up to the tyranny that is being forced upon the people. Thank you Sheriff McKee! We're with you all the way!
I would appreciate publication of the list of the 37 sheriffs. I can't find it anywhere.
Get R Done!
Thank you all for standing true to our Constitution.
Thank you for defending us against the tyrants who think it's their job to run our lives.
I need to move to Colorado…..
Thank you Gentlemen and ladies
Constitutional defenders.
