Brady Campaign: Oregon Sheriff Must ‘Immediately Resign’ For ‘Extremist’ Gun Views

Posted by | October 5, 2015 21:00 | Filed under: Politics


The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is calling for Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin to step down.

“Citizens of Oregon voted for the expansion of Brady background checks in a law signed by Governor Brown this past May,” Brady Campaign President Dan Gross noted in a statement over the weekend. “In pledging not to enforce the new law, John Hanlin has clearly demonstrated that his political ideology trumps his responsibility to protect his community. The victims of last week’s shooting and the entire community deserve a thorough investigation that will get to the bottom of this heinous crime – an investigation that must be grounded in facts and evidence, not myth and bias.”

We already know Sheriff Hanlin is on record as refusing to enforce gun laws he doesn’t agree with, and has shown sympathy for those who believe Sandy Hook was a false flag operation.

    Resign for standing up for the Constitution? I don’t think so. How about some of those elected officials who constantly seek to limit our 2nd Amendment rights resigning? I think that would be much more appropriate.

      even more appropriate if you’d just shut up.

      translation….I am a nitwit and expect all my fellow nitwits to ignore the laws of our country because, FREEDUMB!

      No, resign for refusing to do his job. And the second amendment only covers the National Guard. According to a SCOTUS decision in the 30s they are the ONLY well regulated militia. So now you’ve learned something, tell it to your other ignorant compadres.

      • whatthe46 October 5th, 2015 at 22:33

        that just went in one ear and out the other.

      • Liberal As Lord Christ October 12th, 2015 at 23:28

        The 2nd Amendment only covers the National Guard?
        How far up your ass does your head have to be to come up with that BS?
        What SCOTUS decision are you referring to?

      “… Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms….”

      Justice Anton Scalia
      District of Columbia v. Heller

      You’re a constitutionally ignorant fool who merely spews right-wing talking points without doing any research.

        educating oneself is much harder than just listening to the b.s. you subcribe to.

    • fahvel October 6th, 2015 at 03:21

      do you take pride in appearing as an uninformed fool??? your kind of comments become the food for really bad jokes or just maybe some pity for folks near you.

    • bpollen October 6th, 2015 at 06:07

      But I don’t remember him getting the power determine what the constitutionality of any freaking issue is. That is, and always has been, the province of the court. Sheriffs simply enforce the laws. Constitutionality is determined by the courts.

      • Liberal As Lord Christ October 12th, 2015 at 23:28

        The 2nd Amendment doesn’t say you can’t have “ar’s m16’s, 50-cal. , any automatic military style weapons or 100rd clips”.
        You’re mighty dense to think you can channel the Founding Fathers.

          How far up your ass is your head that you would come up with that BS.

            um, he’s choking on his tonsils?

            • tracey marie October 13th, 2015 at 12:56

              Had to use his own words against him.

    • tracey marie October 6th, 2015 at 19:42

      • whatthe46 October 12th, 2015 at 23:49

    • Liberal As Lord Christ October 12th, 2015 at 23:26

    • tracey marie October 12th, 2015 at 23:45

  2. whatthe46 October 5th, 2015 at 21:16

    i am so glad he was called out! if you cannot uphold the law, you should not be placed in a position to enforce only those laws you so choose to you agree with.

    “Sandy Hook Elementary School, CT is another False Flag!”-Alex Jones and his stooge Oregon Sheriff devotee pictured above.

  4. Foundryman October 5th, 2015 at 22:19

    This sheriff should be hounded about this at every media event he has until he quits. I hope some of the Sandyhook parents drops in on him and make him explain.

    • rg9rts October 6th, 2015 at 03:56

      He’ll say that they are actors

    After reading and seeing the CNN Story about this sheriff HANLIN (R) and the Sandy Hook Tragedy along with his own letter to Vice President Biden, he should be relived of his duties immediately! The really sad part, is that this current tragedy happened on his own turf , and maybe sheriff HANLIN (R) now has “blood on his hands” because of his obvious twisted beliefs. How about this sheriff HANLIN having a Mental Health CHECK-UP, because it is very obvious he may be suffering from that well known republican symptom of “Bats in the Rafters”, by his beliefs!

  6. rg9rts October 6th, 2015 at 03:55

    Thats not going to happen

  7. Anomaly 100 October 6th, 2015 at 06:08

    He’s so whacked. This guy is a total flake.

  8. Foundryman October 6th, 2015 at 19:31

    It would be nice to see Biden write him a letter now and call this Ahole out.

  9. Liberal As Lord Christ October 12th, 2015 at 23:25

    Brady Campaign loves to dance in the blood of the victims of firearm abuse.
