Sheriff should uphold his oath to Constitution
As the chief law enforcement officer in Whiteside County, Sheriff Wilhelmi took an oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the state and federal Constitution. I would like to know whether he will honor his oath by refusing to enforce federal rules, regulations, and directives that violate the Constitution of the United States?
As we are aware, the federal government is considering ways to attack the right to bear arms, in particular, the "shall not be infringed" clause of the Second Amendment. This would suppress the rights of law-abiding citizens to own guns and protect their person and families.
It is fact that in areas where the strictest gun control measures are implemented, crime and gun-related deaths rise, and the sheriff's job is made even more difficult.
