[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2071296, member: 7557"] Okiebryan, you have my sincere respect. Very few have stood up for the 2A as you have done and continue to do. Yesterday, you made it clear and expressed very effectively the REAL reason we have the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. Again, let me stress that I respect and honor your work. We may have supported a different candidates for Oklahoma County sheriff for one reason or another. I wanted a Sheriff that was in the spirit of Sheriff Mack or Sheriff DeMeo, with strong and openly-Constitutional principles. There are some on this forum who have toasted me for my belief that the County Sheriff is some "Gandolf-like fantasy", who would sit on the county line and tell an oppressive Federal government to pound sand. IMHO, the elected sheriff has the power and authority to protect his constituents under law that goes back to the Magna Carta. The scope and purpose of the office was well-defined by the Founding Fathers. Today, the common notion is the modern sheriff is no different than any other law-enforcement officer hired by the corporate city or state, often to generate revenue for the corporations that pays them. Even the SCOTUS has ruled that police do not have the Constitutional obligation to protect us. Guns and armed citizens are everything political. It's impossible to separate politics from guns. It is my deepest desire to know where Sheriff Whetsel really stands on the Second Amendment, in detail. His history, affiliations and statements appear dubious and he has done or said NOTHING to indicate otherwise, as other county sheriffs have. Like it or not, you are a popular figure now and I'm glad you are willing to step up to the plate. You are an outstanding advocate for the 2A, which is why I do not intend to disparage you in any way. Okiebryan, you have a rapidly growing audience who respect you and listen to what you have to say. Respectfully, I would encourage you to define your understanding and position of the office of sheriff. If I am in error of Sheriff Whetsel's stance on armed lawful citizens, I am all ears. [/QUOTE]
