State Senator files bills to give Oklahoma sheriffs power to arrest federal officers, form posses against federal agents

LEOs in Oklahoma may soon have to make a choice on whose side they stand.
An Oklahoma State Senator filed three bills designed to increase the power wielded by Oklahoma sheriffs, including a bill that empowers sheriffs to arrest federal officers who attempt to confiscate guns.
State Senator Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, filed the bills on Thursday.
“I’ve heard from numerous sheriffs and constituents across this state who are concerned at the consistent ignoring of our Constitution happening by this rogue regime” Dahm said. “The Second Amendment was never solely about hunting unless you’re referring to hunting tyrants. It was about the people being able to protect themselves against a government that would seek to disarm them.”
Senate Bill 1199 allows sheriffs to arrest federal officers who attempt to confiscate guns in Oklahoma.
Senate Bill 1200 requires federal agents and officers to receive permission from the county sheriff before operating in their county.
Senate Bill 1201 expands a sheriff’s ability to form a posse to include prohibiting agents, employees and officers of the federal government from violating the constitutional rights of the people of their county.
“The full totalitarian leftist takeover of a society has always been predicated on confiscation of firearms,” Dahm said. “Thankfully in Oklahoma we have county sheriffs that would never allow that to take place. But we must do everything possible to help them stand up for our rights and this bill further enables them to do that.”
I told you before this was an expanding and growing movement. This is the strongest manifestation of that movement I’ve seen.
The pink panty crowd in Missouri is complaining about their weaker 2A preservation act. Very well. Let them resign.
Maybe there’s hope for Oklahoma. The goal is for agents of the FedGov to be effectively unable to function.

Can the sheriff’s be trusted? I hope the assumption is not that all Sheriff’s are all in for the Constitution. There is ample evidence nationwide to the contrary.

@Red Man,
No.
This is an ongoing process throughout the country. It will be up to the citizens of each county to ensure that good men and loyal patriots are elected.

Nothing wrong with this bill that attempts to uphold the Constitution. Odds of it passing however are roughly the same as me winning SuperLotto.

This post points out the importance determining exactly *who* is the county sheriff, their beliefs/philosophy and their degree 2A support beside other county variables, such as tax rates, population density, the various costs of living, proximity to large cities, public transportation (really absence thereof), when choosing a new place to live. This consideration had escaped me entirely.
Thank you very much, Captain.

I have chills running down my spine just thinking about some purple haired fbi trannies running into Officers Luke, Jethro, and Sampson while having a discussion about this…. Lock the fuckers up!

Good news here, and to Herschel’s point; welcome progress. Regardless of the available votes to pass this, even the fact of the idea being introduced into the public domain is good. Serious men need to stay with this instead of complaining.

@Fred,
One of my ongoing complaints about this community is that nothing is ever good enough, and the number of men who will work to change things versus those who will sit and throw spit balls – well, that ratio is small.
The progs understand incrementalism. Our community does not. The progs understand the long war. Ours does not.
Our side wants it all, right now, with no work involved, or else comment sections and discussion threads are the subject of invective.
IDK what else to do about it.

So a small county or even big county Sheriff is going to go up against Big FEDGOV Law. Not seeing it. A few feds show up, talking their typical trash and intimidating deputies and Mr. County Sheriff. Get a few more reinforcements or other letter agencies to show up, talk more shit, more intimidation. If the bill included a set of balls for the sheriffs and county officials there may be hope. Damn, it stinks being negative.
