New York Sheriff Openly REFUSES to Enforce Anti-Gun Laws

11-25-2013 • Capitolism Institute

It’s no secret Sheriff Timothy B. Howard is opposed to New York’s new gun-control law.

But Howard, who is running for re-election this year, is now ratcheting up his opposition by filing a friend of the court brief in the lawsuit seeking to overturn the SAFE Act and, even more important perhaps, by suggesting the law not be enforced.

“I’m more than reluctant,” he said of the new law Thursday. “I won’t enforce it.”

He is already enforcing anti-guns laws. He is just being selective on the anti-guns laws he he chooses to enforce.
