If the dems take complete control of this country in November and get the gun control laws they want, will the police be on our side or enforce the gun control laws the dems establish even though the dems are no longer their friends. Maybe some sheriff departments won’t enforce the laws but I bet most state and local police will. Look at the states with strict gun control laws, do the police go by their conscience and abide by the constitution or do they go by the established laws and the demands their anti-gun supervisors place on them.

A lot of LEOs have made it clear they will take no part in such actions.

I asked our county Sheriff that at a council meeting. He said "I'm going to deputize a whole lotta people."

Most will confiscate.

Mine just smiled and said our oath is to uphold the Constitution.

From what I've seen and heard working in New jersey and New York and Maryland, I believe that.

Most of the cops in those states are more than willing to take your guns and lock you up for exercising a basic constitutional right.

Your not living in the West is why.

Neither is half the Country.

My local sheriffs are very pro-gun. And generally PA is a pretty pro-gun state. But we are surrounded by liberal controlled, anti-gun states. where the cops are on board with the anti-2A agenda.

I would say the police force would be a representative crossection of the body politic as a whole.

Around here most actual cops are pro-gun. The police chiefs are politicians so they go whichever way the wind blows.

There may be a few places where police won't confiscate. Looking at world history, I don't know of one instance where the police or military refused orders to strip people of rights.

I do think we will have a democratic president come November but doubt the gun issue will come up until the second term if at all. Trump never got his wall and Biden wont get the guns save maybe the scary black ones. Time for the NRA to get real and the fanatics on both sides to get real.. The supreme court is where it will all shake out and so far it has worked with a separation of powers, The left has built a lot of momentum during the past administration and for good reason they were as scared of Trump as we are of Biden.

Even if cops don't enforce the laws, they could make purchasing guns and accessories more of a hassle. For example, Minnesota's Saturday Night Special law. Doesn't require much enforcement, but still makes it hard to get a gun like a Rough Rider.

Been a pile of stories of Sheriffs out West not willing to take people’s guns the problem will be in the East.

The West Coast and by the Great Lakes will be problem areas too.

Great day on the boat today with family. I'm not going to post on a controversial issue today.

Same here. Most guys won't do it as most street cops are strict second amendment supporters (another thing you wont hear on the news)

Locally there are guys standing on corners in front of businesses with AKs that just get a wave from the police.

That said, what will the next generation do...or guys working in right to work states where any kind of refusal of order is an instant termination (without recourse).

Don’t come to far west. Oregon’s on the list to "legislate" background checks for ammunition. Our government saved some budget money in law enforcement by cutting the OSP budget for the instant background checks for firearms purchases. What used to be maybe 30 minutes, is now between 30 min and 6 days, seems random who gets through and how fast. Out here, it doesn’t matter how our majority votes, it matters what all three branches of the state government thinks best fits their ideals and thoughts. There’s several examples, but the same people keep electing the same people, expecting different results. They don’t get it.

The west coast is not the place to be.

The guys with the AK's on the corner in Atlanta said the cops better not show their faces-they aint welcome.
