We can see the sides forming up: the Constitutional officers and the police. The police-state will attempt to consolidate the two, with court orders backed-up by the National Guard if necessary.
The Federal police agencies, DEA, ATF, ICE, etc. are bringing municipal police agencies into the fold with "grants" of tanks, machine guns, electronics, armor, ammo, cash, and mutual aide.
Uncooperative sheriffs will be arrested for contempt of court orders unless they comply with legislative directives and treaty conditions.
Letters of this sort, are political grandstanding, unless there is adequate political will for it to be anything else.
We must stop the funding of the police-state. As it is, we are paying them to make us servants of a global enterprise.

Subject: [BAP2] Utah Sheriff's Letter to the PREZ! This one is even stronger!!UTAH SHERIFF"S RESPONSE TO OBAMA
The Honorable Barack Obama
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20500Dear President Obama:
We, the elected sheriffs of Utah, like so many of our fellow Americans, are literally heartbroken for the loved ones of the murdered victims in Connecticut. As Utahans, we are not strangers to this kind of carnage—one of the latest being the 2007 Trolley Square murders wherein nine innocents were gunned down—five losing their lives.
We also recognize the scores of other recent domestic massacres, which have decimated countless honorable lives. As Americans, we value the sanctity of life. Furthermore, similar to our inspired Founders, we acknowledge our subservience to a higher power.
With the number of mass
shootings America has endured, it is easy to demonize firearms; it is also foolish and prejudiced. Firearms are nothing more than instruments, valuable and potentially dangerous, but instruments nonetheless. Malevolent souls, like the criminals who commit mass murders, will always exploit valuable instruments in the pursuit of evil. As professional peace officers, if we understand nothing else, we understand this: lawful violence must sometimes be employed to deter and stop criminal violence. Consequently, the citizenry must continue its ability to keep and bear arms, including arms that adequately protect them from all types of illegality.
As your administration and Congress continue to grapple with the complex issue of firearm regulations, we pray that the Almighty will guide the People’s Representatives collectively. For that reason, it is imperative this discussion be had in Congress, not silenced unilaterally by executive orders. As you
deliberate, please remember the Founders of this great nation created the Constitution, and its accompanying Bill of Rights, in an effort to protect citizens from all forms of tyrannical subjugation.
