Colorado sheriffs have gone on record against enforcement of the unconstitutional Colorado gun rights restrictions. Scuttlebutt is that noncompliant law enforcement officers are in the crosshairs of the governor. The rumor grew out of proposed SB 13-013, appointing certain federal agents as Colorado peace officers. To quote from the bill’s summary, “The bill gives a special agent, uniform division officer, physical security technician, physical security specialist, or special officer of the United States secret service limited peace officer authority while working in Colorado.” Should the Sheriffs be afraid? . . .
Under Colorado Statutes §16-3-110, federal officers who are licensed to kill authorized to use deadly force already have limited peace officer status in Colorado, entitling them to make misdemeanor and felony arrests for state law violations that they actually observe (they don’t need state peace officer status to make arrests for federal law violations, observed or not). SB 13-013 gives federal Secret Service Agents broadened powers to enforce state laws.
If passed, the Feds will have the additional power to make state law arrests based on observation, probable cause in an emergency, or when assisting Colorado cops by invitation or as part of a joint task force.
Sorting out the truth of the rumor first requires determining whether a sheriff’s willful non-enforcement would be a crime. Absent some statute or case that I don’t know about, I’m inclined to say no. If this proposal places anyone in the crosshairs, it would be Joe or Jane Citizen with a standard PMAG. But if that’s the case, why would Colorado enlist the Secret Service and not the ATF?
We’ll find out more about this bill in committee and floor debates.
“The Truman Show” and “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
Those are the two good movies that Jim Carrey has done, I’ll admit that. Everything else was basically live-action cartoons that appeal to children.
I wonder when he’ll make a music video calling for better mental health in this nation?
“But if that’s the case, why would Colorado enlist the Secret Service and not the ATF?”, because given the police state we now live in “SS” is more Hitleresque than “ATF”.
The DHS (Department of Homeland Security) is probably the most Hitleresque govt. agency there is. And haven’t you noticed, ever since Bush created the DHS, every other Hitleresque govt. agency seems to get put under DHS. Even FEMA, which was created during the Carter administration, has been put under the DHS. I don’t think Carter was a very capable president, but I don’t think he invented FEMA for the globalists, but that’s who they are working for now.
I didn’t think hitlers skin was that dark. He will probably want to lay in a supply of bleach because he sure thinks he knows whats best for everybody, just like goosestep boy. Sometimes I wonder if he isn’t 3 fries short of a happy meal, Randy
Apparently, they are. It’ll be very interesting to see if he goes through with it. There is nothing to keep the Sheriffs from arresting SS agents if they try it.
The only thing I’m not sure of is what would trump an “elected” officer (Sheriff)? I don’t think the Govenor can do that? The Sheriff is suppsoed ot be the highest law enforcement officer in their jurisdiction. Short of martial law I just don’t see it. Things are getting more interesting by the day.
Every time I think about the new, old Jim Carrey (as opposed to the popular funny one of my youth) I think of this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/24/jim-carrey-to-emma-stone-_n_935714.html
Thanks for the help in translation folks.
Think cops would arrest the SS agents trying to destroy local PDs and Sheriffs offices.
The sky is angry and I feel there is a storm coming.
I hope I’m wrong.
I don’t think this has anything to do with the Sheriffs and they have nothing to fear. The Secret Service does not operate under the orders of the Governor of Colorado.
My guess is you’re misreading this. They won’t arrest sheriffs. This power will be used to go around the sheriffs and enforce the new law.
The mainstream media must stop giving names and faces to these beasts. They must start focusing on the victims more, and ignore the names and faces of the beasts. That said, I say in a forum such as this, by all means show their faces and give them names. But don’t try to convince anyone that seeing a beasts’ picture is like looking directly into the eyes of a killer.
No thanks. I plan on keeping my dinner down tonight. 🙂
You’ve got to be shitting me… That’s the only video that you could find to link? Are you just showcasing the reason why we’re all f***ed? “OB for life”? What the hell is that
Nope dont want nightmares.
With everyone screaming for “common sense” solutions to prevent mass shootings why can’t we start by denying the would be mass murderers the gratification they seek? Don’t release a single thing about mass murders except the names of the victims. When we stop making a big deal about bad/crazy people, the mentally ill that seek attention (Histronic Personality Disorder) might seek a different means for getting it…
There’s no way refusing to release any details on the killer or how a mass murder was committed would prevent ALL copycat type behavior. But wouldn’t it be fair to say that by releasing the information you are likely making the situation worse?
Nothing is ever black and white, but to me this falls in the dark gray part of the spectrum…
It’s mostly a question of how they get presented. The state media and the anti-gun Gestapo treat them like the subjects of feature stories, while casting their guilt on everyone from the NRA, to Republicans, to you and me. The perps get little actual blame that way, and the next potential psychos get inspiration.
So if you present them in the literary equivalent of hanging their carcasses in the town square for the birds to eat, I think that would be just fine.
Hope y’all read Mack-Printz vs. US.
Sheriff Richard Mack (Graham County, AZ) SUED the Clinton Admin over unfunded mandate in Brady Bill, not to mention over its general violation of the 2nd Amendment, but it was argued under the 10th Amendment. The SCOTUS decision REAFFIRMED the 10th Amendment/State’s Rights & their duty to interpose between the residents of respective states vs their would be Federal traitors. And, Scalia’s majority opinion clarified that the County Sheriff IS THE HIGHEST LawEnforcement Authority, PERIOD, as he/she is the highest delegated peace officer elected by the citizenry.
The Sheriffs can arrest ANY Fed Gvt goonsquad in his/her county. Period.
wow. pretty telling details.
How a man carries himself pretty much says it all.
Thank you for sharing.
Interesting shade of police behind Obama….just sayin’
I’m curious about Mr. Heston’s continued relevance to American
cinema vs Carrey’s relevance to anyone. How many actors try to
emulate Heston? How many turned to the film industry because
they saw one of Heston’s films? Though already a has been and
wannabe, in twenty years Carrey will be all but unknown and
we’ll still be watching The Ten commandments every Easter.
Did she say “troof?”
That ghetto black snookie was really annoying
This will work. Those kids would have been saved because laws are always complied with 100% and their hindsight is 20/20.
The only thing I took from that video is a craving for candy.
Since a Federal police force is NOT authorized in the US Constitution the Secret Service has no authority in states or counties! If these gestapo agents show up the sheriff should issue a SHOOT TO KILL order to protect the US Constitution and the county citizens.
Besides, I thought the official designation was “30 round magazine chambers”……..
Yep, which makes assault weapons so deadly because every time you pull the bolt it sends 30 high powered casings down the barrel shroud, and all of those protruding grip things make them a lot easier to conceal underneath an anti-government extremists’ coat, so he could probably sneak onto an airplane with it due to the plastic parts sending a jamming signal to the metal detectors. And if he were to blow open the cabin door, he could conceivably rain death upon thousands of innocents below with all of those large capacity magazine chambers. Dear heavens!
It appears Texas will have to restore the constitution at the barrel of the gun. Someday. The good thing about a second civil war is that the other side has no soldiers. Or will to fight.
The folks that are – heh – up in arms regarding the use of the word ‘slave’ in this case as opposed to its actual meaning are completely missing the intent.
The Second Amendment was written by men who had bled to rid themselves of the yoke of tyranny, and were attempting to create a government that had limited means to become the very thing they had just fought against.
Free speech, open communication, was the first right they did not want the government to have a say in – and rightfully so. A determined people that can freely communicate can educate each other and work to correct issues created by the government.
All well and good, but without the right to keep and bear arms you’re at the mercy of The Powers That Be. Note Tiananmen Square. If your right to exist can be declared null and void by the whim of the state, and you have no means to protect yourself against that whim, ultimately, you are a slave to that state. Any ‘rights’ you have are only a bit of legislation away from disappearing altogether.
This is why I continually challenge those that want pro-gun people to ‘compromise’. How can I compromise a right that the government explicitly has no right to infringe? May as well ask me to slip on chains. Which is what the citizens of Colorado, Maryland, and Connecticut are in the business of doing, whether they’re aware of it or not.

Always a fun game to play when the Traitor in Chief talks: is he really that stupid, or simply being deceptively evil?
Asinine. Registration is now a reality for one more moron state. It would seem to me the only choice CT residents now have is to not comply.

Thats John! When can I get my 5 c notes? Randy
For $30 I would much rather buy a Spyderco. They actually make their knives for cutting stuff 😉
by law the federal government may not have a criminal code. By law any federal “law enforcement officers” are only authorized to operate in jurisdictions within any county, without the sheriffs authorization. These are the laws we have. but the fed doesnt care about limited jurisdiction, or authorization. local authorities out number fed fools 1000 to 1. and that doesnt count the civilian militia, as stated in USC title 10 sect 311.
the laws show both the governor and the federal government are engaged in treason and terrorism.
Let the chips and the criminals fall.
