If they refuse to enforce the law then they’re in violation of it and the appropriate authorities can take legal action.
Sheriffs don’t get to exercise judicial review. If they don’t like a law then tough, they can try to get them changed but until then they’re required to uphold it. If they think a law is unconstitutional then they can challenge the law in court, but unless and until it’s overturned, they are required to enforce that law. That’s how the constitution and our legal system work. Individuals don’t get to decide what is and isn’t constitutional and ignore laws they deem to be unconstitutional. You’re asserting the theory of nullification, which has been ruled invalid at every level from individuals to states.
I can only assume which side you’d have rooted for in the Civil War.

“Constitutional Sheriffs”
I was kind of wondering what in the world “Constitutional Sheriffs” are.
Now I understand, they’re big fat right-wing assholes who like to play make-believe games with the constitution of the United States.
They’re the law enforcement version of George Santos, major league bullshit artists with botoxed balls.

So the Governor then ought to direct the state police to arrest and charge any such Sherriff who refuses to enforce the law with dereliction of duty.

Being an elected official didn’t stop DeSantis from removing the Tampa District attorney.
Good thing they haven’t let the notion that because they’re sheriff that they are somehow the >arbitor< of the law go to their head or anything. Can’t wait to see what the local and federal courts think of this…

Illinois is a giant corn field with Chicago in the northeast corner. Assault weapons aren’t that big a problem in the corn field.

I was thinking more of a gun right’s protest where all protesters would be people of color wearing shirts that support far left causes that scare red staters.
Fat, dumb, and white… must be a trend.
Turn in your badge and gun. Start filling out the paperwork to continue to possess the other guns you surely own. You’re out of the enforcing business.
Welcome to the U.S. of A. Where nobody wants to work but still get paid. On tax payer money no less.
“The association, which Mack founded after former President Barack Obama’s election,”
Anyone who was watching that unfold knew at the time it had nothing to do with the Constitution and everything to do with racial hatred.
What they really meant was that no black man could be their commander in chief, democracy be damned.
They use harsher words, but my point is clear.
They can claim anything they want about their roots, but the truth is, Constitutional Sheriffs represent everything they pretend to protect us against. Inevitably, their local power clique turns into mean little crime mobs that exploit and extort The People via traffic and drug “crimes”.
They are anathema to everything the Constitution tries to achieve.

How many of these Con Sheriffs have had to deal with a schools shooting? If they get their way, seems like those shooters will be looking for sanctuary in his county.
Anyone who won’t link Russian money via the NRA directly to this stupidity wasn’t paying attention when this crazy gun cult rose from the shadows. The NRA NEVER had the kind of membership dues to cover the millions in political contributions, the Feds know it but they won’t act on it because so many are gun heads themselves.
The influence Russia had on this isn’t crazy talk, it took a lot of dollars to lure these local politicians into their current absurd gun madness, and the peer groups that grew from it, like these misguided enforcers, have perpetuated the outrageous patterns and amplified them.
Russia had a big part in this, believe me or not. It is a bigger fact than most realize. Russia used the NRA to corrupt our political process.
With cash money. For state legislatures, sheriffs and and everything up to Presidential campaigns, they bought influence and these are the fruits of it.
