Sheriff Rogers Has a Warning for Obama if He Issues an Unconstitutional Executive Action on Gun Control
At least one Indiana sheriff has decided to take a stand in the event that President Obama issues an Executive Order aimed to restrict the rights of American gun owners. Sheriff Bradley Rogers of Elkhart County, Indiana wants the President to know that he will defend the Constitution of the United States and put it ahead of any executive order that seeks to violate it.
Rogers appeared recently on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and told host Brian Kilmeade that,
“If President Obama today said, ‘I’m creating an Executive Order that all sheriff’s and police chiefs around this nation need to start registering firearms,’ I will disregard it… When there’s laws or orders that violate that Constitution, I don’t have to obey them.”
“The government shouldn’t know who’s got weapons … we’ve seen in other countries what could happen when the government knows who has what guns… Like Australia and Great Britain which have both banned and confiscated firearms.”
Kilmeade asked Rogers for his suggestion on how to “stop what we all agree with what has to stop?”
Rogers responded with,
“We need to remove gun-free zones. I’m not saying we arm all teachers, but we should not promote that. The bad guys, the criminals and the terrorists, are looking for a place where concealed carry is not allowed. Schools are prime targets for those mass murders.”
“Why wouldn’t we want to protect our greatest treasures, our children? We protect our politicians, we protect our VIPs with armed guards, but yet we won’t protect our children. That doesn’t make sense.”

An unconstitutional Executive Order is no order at all. It is null and void.
