Video: Oath Keeper Officer Calls on Brother Cops to Refuse to Enforce Gun Bans or Registration
Link to video and article ...http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2013/01/14/video-oath-keeper-officer-calls-on-brother-cops-to-refuse-to-enforce-gun-bans-or-registration/?cp=all
If you choose to not screen video the article and comments in full follow....
In this video, Oathkeeper151, a New Jersey Police Officer who has been a member of Oath Keepers since 2009, makes it clear that he will not obey orders that violate the Bill of Rights. In particular, he says he will not be used as a tool of oppression against the American people who resist and refuse to comply with infringement on their right to bear arms, such as legislation or executive orders that decree they must register, get finger printed and photographed, like a criminal.
He asks his fellow officers what they are going to do if that happens. Will they keep their oaths? Here is his own description of his video:
In this video I ask my fellow Police Officers what they would do, if they were given an unlawful order. I also touch on the Assault Weapons Ban introduced by Senator Feinstein, and how this bill has the potential of putting us Police Officers in a very bad/even fatal predicament.
I spoke to him on the phone and he made it clear that he is not afraid to take this public stand because this is what needs to happen. He says the peace officers across America need to stand up and let the people know that they are on the side of the Bill of Rights, and that they will protect the rights of the people. In one of the comments on his video, another officer had this to say:
I’ll lay my badge down, stop doing what I love if someone tries to make me do something immoral or unconstitutional. Good video, take care
Oathkeeper151 agrees. He told me that if there were door to door raids for guns against Americans who refused to comply with registration or bans, he would either defend the people with his badge on, stepping between them and the oath breakers doing the raids, or he would lay his badge down on the table and then go join the people in resisting. He loves his work as a police officer, but his oath, and his responsibility to protect the people of his community, is more important than his job. His oath comes first. The rights of the people come first…. and he is not alone.

As I watched this video and listened to the sheriff of Jackson county Kentucky tonight. I thought of a spin on a childhood prayer.…
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray The Lord my oath to keep
if I should die before I break,
I pray The Lord my soul to take!
I thank God for men like these every day. I pray that when my time comes to keep my oath that there will be others like me there to help me.
I was born in Kentucky and I remember the state motto…
United we stand, divided we fall!

That officer has a lot of COURAGE for taking a stand against UNLAWFUL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL ORDERS. This man is a TRUE AMERICAN and i am PROUD OF HIM. I would stand side by side with this officer and lay my life down because now i know he will do the same for me or my family. We need MILLIONS MORE LIKE HIM AND OUR MILITARY.

As a peace officer in the State of Texas, I am in total agreement with OK151! I have written letters to my senators and representatives stating that I and officers under my command will uphold our oaths. I told them we will not violate the rights of the citizens we serve and to remind them to uphold their oaths as well. I have not spoken with any peace officer that says that they will comply with the treasonous garbage that is about to be vomited out of DC. We will not comply. We will not enforce. We will resist. We will do our part to restore Constitutional rule of law when things fall apart. May God help us. Pray for all of us in the path of the coming storm.

I am a retired ( 20 years) NYPD Detective, and I want my fellow LEO who did this video to know that there are thousands of guys out here who totally agree with him. We must stick together and keep an eye on this cop to make sure he does not suffer any disciplinary action because of this video. If so I would gladly be one of the guys who drives to New Jersey to attend a protest in support of him, as I hope many others would also.

Obama signed 23 executive orders on gun control
Remember that a presidential executive order (EO) is a directive issued to federal agencies, department heads, or other federal employees by the President of the United States under his statutory or constitutional powers.
In many ways, presidential executive orders are similar to written orders, or instructions issued by the president of a corporation to its department heads or directors.
Thirty days after being published in the Federal Register, executive orders take effect.
While they do bypass the U.S. Congress and the standard legislative law making process, but no part of an executive order may direct the agencies to conduct illegal or unconstitutional activities.
So it is totally up to “We The People” not our Congress or Senate to make sure the Federal Government and any of its agencies is kept in line with the Constitution.

Below is a copy of a letter I have sent to my Senators and Harry Reid pertaining to what amounts to illegal activities in the Senate. Specifically it pertains to the introduction of legislation which is well known by the submitters to be in violation of the Second Amendment of the Constitution. I maintain that this is a criminal offense and should have penalties attached. I would suggest that each and everyone of you send some form of the same to your Senators and Harry Reid.
——————————
There are several members of the Senate, specifically Sen. Feinstein of CA, who are, or are preparing to submit legislation solely designed to infringe upon American’s Rights to keep and bear arms, guaranteed by the Second Amendment. These bills are being submitted by Senators with the full knowledge that these bills are in violation of the Second Amendment. The bills are not intended to repeal the Second Amendment, they are designed to violate it.
Since the Constitution is intended to regulate these very people, their’s is an intentional violation of law and their actions MUST be penalized. Simply submitting a piece of legislation without having legitimately modified the Constitution is in my mind an act of treason. In any case it is contrary to the highest law of this land.
I recommend legislation be introduced that recognizes illegal submissions such as this and provides for a penalty of imprisonment, or in the very least ejection from the Senate.
Passing legislation which is essentially in violation of the Constitution will make the Senate complicit in commission of the highest crime in the country, and at the very least declare that this country no longer has laws. You would in a very real sense be creating an atmosphere of total lawlessness.

AS A RETIRED LEO, now at the ripe age of 70 years, I try to tell as many active LEO’s & Military that they MUST KEEP IN MIND that despots have NO POWER without those they USE and refer to as “Useful Idiots”, under their breaths!
WHATEVER unconstitutional tyranny that YOU ENFORCE upon your fellow citizens will ALSO be enforced upon YOU upon your retiring or no longer being in an official capacity! ~ It makes no difference if you were a Chief of Police, County Sheriff or a military General …you will be ONE of us!
THE PROBLEM I see, is that due to the diluted educational system over the past 40 years, there are many who have taken their OATH to uphold and defend our U.S. Constitution while knowing little to nothing of what is written within our Constitution OR Bill of Rights! ~ BIG QUESTION; HOW can anyone know the Constitution is being violated by an unlawful order if they know nothing of the Constitution or Bill of Rights???!!!
Bottom Line: IT IS YOUR DUTY to thoroughly understand your U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights in order to ….PRESERVE YOUR OWN FREEDOMS, LIBERTIES AND SECURTY from TYRANNY!!!

Although I am not a member of the Oath Keepers yet I take the oath very seriously. I am military retired and that oath I took when I enlisted is just as valid today as it was when I took it. I will stand along side anyone who will not obey an unlawful or illegal order to shoot civilians or confiscate their weapons. They time may be coming when we will have to rock and roll to protect our rights and our Second Amendment.

Let me know what you guys think about my idea:
I want to write an open letter to my local newspaper, and all my elected officials, including my local Sheriff to ask them outright to make a public reply to my question of whether or not they will choose to obey their sworn oath’s of office if an unlawful order comes down to confiscate, register or restrict beyond reason my God-given right of self-defense against all enemies. This is an intellectual inquiry, highly restricted from those with gun powder for brains and only for the Jeffersonians out there. If that’s OK to do on this website, Mr. Rhodes? Dave Haskins, Founding OK Memeber in Nevada – S/F
[STEWART: Dave, that is a solid idea. Go for it! Sheriff Mack is working on a resolution for Sheriffs to sign, and we are also working on general pledges for peace officers, military, veterans, and gun owners. Stay tuned! But go ahead and send your own letters.]

I’m in agreement with OK151 and respect him greatly for his boldness.
I am now retired LEO (34 years), and prior military. The agency I served with administered an oath that contained a pledge very similar to the one administered to me when I entered the military, except it also contained a provision pertaining to the State Constitution in which I reside. I hope and pray all departments have or will adopt such oath as our country is entering into very dangerous and critical times.
I also stay in contact with my senators and other representatives INTERNETrnet, phone and snail mail. The most recent letter was from our US Senator concerning the proposed threat the Spring of 2013 where rumor has it the US will sign a small arms treaty with the UN. Our senator still pledges to fight the proposed treaty plus another proposed UN resolution that would threatencensuresure INTERNETrnet world wide.

It was very encouraging to listen to the New Jersey Officer take his stand and I commend him for it.
Well Obama has made his speech on gun control and I fear there’s a lot to it than meets the eye. This is why it’s imperative that law enforcement and military keep their oaths and defy Obama to make them do anything that is unconstitutional. But I think it’s going to have to start with the individual states to put the brakes on Obama’s objectives. Right now I see there’s two states who have bills pending, Texas and Missouri I think that are defying any gun control mandates by the feds.
However, I just saw a different video recently, and even though it’s not new, it’s still VERY timely and something Americans need to watch and keep uppermost in their minds. What this video I saw earlier reminded me about was WWII and how Adolph Hitler had his Brown Shirts and Gestapo, besides regular law enforcement and the military to do his bidding. Obama apparently wants nothing less than this and he will be relentless to see that he has it. What remains to be seen is whether the American people will go like lambs to the slaughter or resist these attacks on their freedoms.

I can see from this vid that solemnnity and sincerity have not yet completely dropped out of the American lexicon…..what some of us have been fighting against and enduring for very miserable decades, sometimes “over there”, but far more importantly and vitally, right here on American soil where it counts and where the REAL battle for freedom has always been has apparently not yet prevailed…and what we did with what zero we had, was not all for nothing then.

OATHKEEPERS:
Perhaps every police association in the nation might be approached by their own members with a request/demand that they PUBLICLY denounce any disarmament or registration or curbs of any kind, &
each member is thus reminded of their OATH to DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION against ALL ENEMIES, this DOES INCLUDE DOMESTIC ENEMIES who would by any method attempt to UNDERMINE OUR CONSTITUTION.
Perhaps the same may be requested of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and ANY OTHER PRIVATE, COUNTY, STATE or NATIONAL ORGANIZATION which has the majority of their membership who have taken the SOLEMN OATH to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
The same may well be ADVISED to EACH & EVERY STATE’s SEPARATE LEGISLATURES & GOVERNORS, first that NULLIFICATION STANDS AS EACH STATE’S RIGHT TO THROW OFF FEDERAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS ALL KINDS,
WHETHER EXECUTIVE ORDER, LEGISLATIVE STATUTE, AND YES EVEN JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION.
IT APPEARS OUR FED INTENDS TO TEST THE METAL OF PATRIOT AMERICANS. PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO RE-BOOT
OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THROW OFF THE FED WE HAVE, AND INSTALL A NEW FED LOYAL TO THE AMERICAN DREAM OF LIBERTY, AND FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENTS OF OUR CONSTITUTION.

And just a reminder to anyone not familiar with history…..This is what Adolf Hitler did to his citizens.

I meet with two FBI agents this week…both are taking the same stand…will not breach the 2nd amendment…as a highly decorated Viet Vet…OBama has no comprehension of the wall he is facing…this issue will NOT divide the real supporters of the constitution ..Charles

Let me know what you guys think about my idea:
I want to write an open letter to my local newspaper, and all my elected officials, including my local Sheriff to ask them outright to make a public reply to my question of whether or not they will choose to obey their sworn oath’s of office if an unlawful order comes down to confiscate, register or restrict beyond reason my God-given right of self-defense against all enemies. This is an intellectual inquiry, highly restricted from those with gun powder for brains and only for the Jeffersonians out there. If that’s OK to do on this website, Mr. Rhodes?

[STEWART: Dave, that is a solid idea. Go for it! Sheriff Mack is working on a resolution for Sheriffs to sign, and we are also working on general pledges for peace officers, military, veterans, and gun owners. Stay tuned! But go ahead and send your own letters.]

I’m in agreement with OK151 and respect him greatly for his boldness.
I am now retired LEO (34 years), and prior military. The agency I served with administered an oath that contained a pledge very similar to the one administered to me when I entered the military, except it also contained a provision pertaining to the State Constitution in which I reside. I hope and pray all departments have or will adopt such oath as our country is entering into very dangerous and critical times.
I also stay in contact with my senators and other representatives INTERNETrnet, phone and snail mail. The most recent letter was from our US Senator concerning the proposed threat the Spring of 2013 where rumor has it the US will sign a small arms treaty with the UN. Our senator still pledges to fight the proposed treaty plus another proposed UN resolution that would threatencensuresure INTERNETrnet world wide.

It was very encouraging to listen to the New Jersey Officer take his stand and I commend him for it.
Well Obama has made his speech on gun control and I fear there’s a lot to it than meets the eye. This is why it’s imperative that law enforcement and military keep their oaths and defy Obama to make them do anything that is unconstitutional. But I think it’s going to have to start with the individual states to put the brakes on Obama’s objectives. Right now I see there’s two states who have bills pending, Texas and Missouri I think that are defying any gun control mandates by the feds.
However, I just saw a different video recently, and even though it’s not new, it’s still VERY timely and something Americans need to watch and keep uppermost in their minds. What this video I saw earlier reminded me about was WWII and how Adolph Hitler had his Brown Shirts and Gestapo, besides regular law enforcement and the military to do his bidding. Obama apparently wants nothing less than this and he will be relentless to see that he has it. What remains to be seen is whether the American people will go like lambs to the slaughter or resist these attacks on their freedoms.

I can see from this vid that solemnnity and sincerity have not yet completely dropped out of the American lexicon…..what some of us have been fighting against and enduring for very miserable decades, sometimes “over there”, but far more importantly and vitally, right here on American soil where it counts and where the REAL battle for freedom has always been has apparently not yet prevailed…and what we did with what zero we had, was not all for nothing then.

I am also retired from law enforcement and would like to say thank you. Thanks to all who defend our rights. God bless you.

Unfortunately by the time this happens B.O will have his own police to enforce it.

OATHKEEPERS:
Perhaps every police association in the nation might be approached by their own members with a request/demand that they PUBLICLY denounce any disarmament or registration or curbs of any kind, &
each member is thus reminded of their OATH to DEFEND OUR CONSTITUTION against ALL ENEMIES, this DOES INCLUDE DOMESTIC ENEMIES who would by any method attempt to UNDERMINE OUR CONSTITUTION.
Perhaps the same may be requested of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and ANY OTHER PRIVATE, COUNTY, STATE or NATIONAL ORGANIZATION which has the majority of their membership who have taken the SOLEMN OATH to DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION FROM ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
The same may well be ADVISED to EACH & EVERY STATE’s SEPARATE LEGISLATURES & GOVERNORS, first that NULLIFICATION STANDS AS EACH STATE’S RIGHT TO THROW OFF FEDERAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACTIONS ALL KINDS,
WHETHER EXECUTIVE ORDER, LEGISLATIVE STATUTE, AND YES EVEN JUDICIAL INTERPRETATION.
IT APPEARS OUR FED INTENDS TO TEST THE METAL OF PATRIOT AMERICANS. PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO RE-BOOT
OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THROW OFF THE FED WE HAVE, AND INSTALL A NEW FED LOYAL TO THE AMERICAN DREAM OF LIBERTY, AND FULLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE ORIGINAL INTENTS OF OUR CONSTITUTION.

The time has come for ALL law enforcement, both civilian and military to draw the line in the sand NOW! I would suggest to all LEOs to arrest any and all federal agents who try to uphold any of these illegal actions proposed by our now, self crowned King 0bama. And just a reminder to anyone not familiar with history…..This is what Adolf Hitler did to his citizens.
So I applaud OK151 for having the balls to make this video and I hope more LEOs aquire their own set of balls and back this brave man up. I know I will.

The line in the sand is drawn and like our Founders we will not be in fear of any Contitutional enemies nor withdraw from that line. - My personal pledge.
