    Police chief in eastern Washington says his officers won't enforce new gun laws

    In a phone interview with KXLY, Culp said "We took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the State of Washington, and [I-1639] completely flies in the face of both the U.S. and state constitution."

    Small flickers of hope in the face of encroaching tyrannies.

    So, he refuses to enforce the law and you think this is a good thing?

    He needs to do his damn job or get the $#@! out. If you don't like the law fight to change it, don't cheer people for breaking it. That way lies anarchy.

    Which holds more weight. Again, I have to ask? Our Constitutional rights or newly formed state laws that go against the constitution? I believe a proper reading of our constitution lays it all out.

    Not only did this chief take an oath to uphold the nation's constitution,but also to his states.. so he believes he IS doing his job. And I do, as well.

    Initiative 1639 makes Washington's gun laws some of the most strict in the nation. It raises the age limit for some gun purchases; it has a safe storage provision that can lead to criminal charges if gun owners allow someone not authorized to access a gun displays it or uses it to commit a crime; and puts an enhanced background check and waiting period in place for people who want to buy a semi-automatic rifle.
    I'm not entirely sure which provisions of the law the Chief thinks his officers would, practically speaking, be in a position to either enforce or ignore. When it comes to age limits for gun sales or waiting periods, that would appear to be something that a gun dealer or gun shop owner might be accused of - but, short of someone conducting a "sting" operation on one of them, how would that even be likely to come to law enforcement's attention?

    I suppose the "safe storage" provision of the law might provide an add-on charge to police in some situations, or create an avenue for prosecution in those cases where a minor child has obtained an unsecured gun and done some damage with it. In either situation, however, it would be the prosecutor's call on charging - not that of the Chief or one of his officers.

    As for "displaying" a firearm, all jurisdictions already have statutory prohibitions against brandishing. And when it comes to enhanced penalties for using a firearm in the commission of a crime - or even possessing one in that situation - I have absolutely no problem with that; I've been advocating for that very thing for years.

    The Devil, as they say, may very well be in the details here. On the surface, most provisions of this particular law don't appear to be all that radical, but I'd have to read the entire thing to be able to make an informed judgment about that. There may well be something in it that would justify the Chief's public opposition - or he may be grandstanding.

    Agreed

    If cops put their political beliefs over the law they've sworn to defend and uphold then they should be doing something else.

    Slippery slope and if that slope were tilted the other way the right would be $#@!ting the bed instead of applauding.

    He is saying he will defend the laws he is sworn to uphold... the US Constitution and the constitution of his state, as per his oath of office.
