Citizen: "I am so disappointed in the Sheriff"

[Unregistered]

Sheriffs should be peacekeepers

I am so disappointed in the sheriff who advocates that Lee County become a gun sanctuary.

It is ourselves and our families who need sanctuary from gun violence. Anything that slows down the impulses of someone intent on murder or suicide is a good thing. We can delay the actions of those with rage and despair and protect both the public and the person losing control.

Murder and suicide are permanent solutions to temporary problems. Three initiatives for gun safety will slow down the dangerous person and prevent violence and death.
1 Emergency protective orders.

2 Enforcement of gun background checks.

3 Red flag laws.

The choice to declare that he would not enforce them in Lee County if elected is irrational and an abandonment of those of us who live here.

Ma'am,

The Lee County Sheriff is a Fraud and has absolutely NO Police Experience, his Police Experience was obtained as a Part Time NY Park Ranger.

See the story for yourself on FOX 4 News station, Fox is suppose to be Pro Republican, but even they were disgusted by this Fraud, that you call Lee County Sheriff.

Don't worry he will be indicted on a litany of State & Federal Charges very soon, so you'll have someone else to share your point of view with.

Red Flag laws?

This IS the way it will happen. It already has in a few states...

Red Flag Laws. Here’s what will happen...

It’s a Sunday night and your family has all gone to bed. You let the dogs back in and lock the deadbolt like you do every night. All the lights are off now except a couple of night lights scattered throughout the house leaving that dim glow throughout your home. It’s bedtime and work and school are going to come early in the morning. You crawl in bed, kiss your wife and drift off to sleep being thankful for the air conditioning that allows you to pull that heavy quilt up over your shoulder despite the fact it’s still 85 degrees outside. A few hours pass...

0200 Monday morning and your wife taps your leg and says, “baby I heard something outside”. As you sit up in bed you hear the dog growling in the living room and you know something isn’t right. You grab that trusty ole 870 and head into the living room. Your wife grabs her 9mm and heads down the hall to the kids rooms just like you have rehearsed. “Good boy” you say as you enter the living room, trying to calm both the dog and your wife just as splinters fly across the room and the front door flys open. “Oh shit!” As you shoulder your weapon and send a load of 00 Buck across your living room and see the perpetrator fall in a heap. Before the “thank God” can even run across your brain, you see a second man coming in the door and you fire again. This time you hear the pop of your wife’s 9mm as she has joined in the fight. It has to be those damn meth heads from down in town! Just then you are consumed by a wall of bullets as you see multiple muzzle flashes from just outside the door and you realize something isn’t right. You turn to yell at your wife to “get down” just in time to see her take a load of buckshot to the face and her brain matter splatter the wall behind her. You feel the burning as 5.56 bullets Riddle your body. One clips your spine as you’re scrambling away and paralyzes your lower body. The last thing you see before you bleed out is a SWAT guy from your local PD holding your teenage daughter on the floor with a knee in her back as she screams and cry’s because she just watched her parents being murdered.

Why did this happen? You’re no criminal. You’re a Conservative and an honest family man. Your wife is a school teacher and your daughters are on honor roll. Why did this happen?

Well two days ago, you and your wife went down to welcome the new neighbors to the community. Your wife made them some of her “world famous” cookies and you invited them to church on Sunday. Later that afternoon, you got a friend request on Facebook from your new neighbor, which you gladly accepted. They seemed a little odd, but in the few minutes you talked they were pleasant enough. The next day while you and your family sat in church, your new neighbor scrolled through your Facebook profile. He saw that “Trump 2020” post and got infuriated. See, he’s a staunch liberal and he hates your kind. The next thing he sees are the hunting pictures you took last fall when your daughter bagged her first buck. Now he’s seething with fury because he is wholeheartedly against the “slaughter of innocent animals”. Next he sees your post from the last range day with your buddy and sees those scary black assault weapons on the table and that does it! He has to do something about the racist domestic terrorist living next door. He picks up the phone, calls the local Sheriffs Office and reports you as a threat under the new Red Flag law. The SO follows their SOP’s and conducts a no knock warrant because you have now been denied due process and you are considered guilty until proven innocent.

Now you, your lovely wife and two deputies have been killed for nothing. Your daughter will have absolute hell for the rest of her life. She will never be that successful person you dreamed for her to be because of the mental tragedy caused from seeing her parents murdered. The local news paper will report that you were killed after firing on and killing two deputies and that “over a thousand rounds of ammo and 22 guns were confiscated from your residence”.

Oh, those two deputies were just following orders. They left behind families as well and had served their community for over a decade. They didn’t know you were a stand-up guy with a great family. They weren’t allowed time to investigate things under due process. They were told you had threatened your neighbor and were out in the street waving an AR15 around.

This is the reality of Red Flag gun laws. Innocent people will lose their lives. Red Flag laws will be used for petty and vengeful reasons without merit.

Do not forget that ALL gun laws are an infringement of your rights!

Many years after the end of the Second World War, former Japanese Commanders were interviewed about their involvement in the war. When asked why they didn't conduct a land invasion of the United States, they simply explained that the idea was considered but not executed. They were concerned about the severe losses that would be experienced at the hands of a civilian population armed with high powered rifles. The marksmanship and hunting skills of the civilian population were the biggest part of that concern.

If you get a chance, watch the original "Red Dawn" movie. That alone might change your beliefs about gun laws.

Our founding fathers felt it was important to protect ourselves against tyranny. The Japanese didn't invade because of it.

The argument that we should ban guns in order to reduce violent crime is weak. I guess kitchen knives, bare hands, and wine bottles should be banned as well. Let's add hammers to the list. That might have saved the Bonita Springs Doctor.

In the end, some of us have chosen to be wolves while the rest have chosen to be sheep. I refuse to be slaughtered.

I don't think there is anything lonelier than a keyboard warrior constantly harassing an individual over and over again in different threads.
