Every sheriff in Florida pledges to protect Second Amendment rights
Every sheriff in Florida pledges to protect Second Amendment rights
GUN RIGHTS
FEBRUARY 19, 2013
BY: JENNIFER CRUZ
On Sunday, Feb. 17, Watch Dog Wirereported that they received an email fromConstitutional Sheriffs stating that all 67 sheriffs in the counties of Florida have signed a pledge declaring that they not only support the Second Amendment, but that they will protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms. 67, that’s every single county in the state.
Florida has become the first state to receive 100% support from every sheriff, which makes a huge statement opposing tyrannical acts against the United States Constitution. A statement that many other states are most likely soon to follow.
Perhaps it’s a bit ironic that Florida is officially the first state with 100% support for the Second Amendment, when it was also a state that favored Obama over Romney this past election year. Although they are both anti-gun… or so-called pro-gun, depending on which state they are currently seeking support from.
The Little Rock Gun Rights Examiner commends the sheriffs of Florida for their decision to not only show their support for the right to keep and bear arms, but for pledging to protect that right for all of the American people.
Sheriffs who have signed the pledge are listed below. If you are a Florida resident, be sure to drop a letter, email or phone call thanking your sheriff for standing up for our Second Amendment rights.
