Colorado –-(Ammoland.com)- There was an Oath Keepers meeting last week in Colorado, and Tim Norton, our authorized chapter coordinator in the Denver area, had asked my help in expediting a shipment of Oath Keepers brochures and DVDs, which he received just hours before the meeting. Tim is retired U.S. Air Force and is honoring his Oath by organizing Oath Keepers members and activities in central Colorado. Tim’s meeting last week was about the Colorado Sheriffs and their problem with new Colorado gun laws.

This afternoon, Friday, May 17, 2013,  Fifty-four (54) Colorado Sheriffs had their lawsuit against the State of Colorado filed in court today. (Update: Just this afternoon, another Sheriff has joined, making the total now at 55 – see below.)

Here is a link to the video of the press conference, sent in to me by Tim Norton:

Oath Keepers everywhere are pleased by this kind of patriotism displayed by County Sheriffs. Our message of fidelity to the Oath is certainly gaining good traction all across America as governmental corruption is exposed on all levels of government (with the most hideous corruption emanating from the General government in WDC).

Thank God for real American Sheriffs!

These law enforcement agencies know that “unconstitutional laws” drafted by liberal scum ain’t laws at all,..but personal agendas to undermine the country.I really like how across the country people are telling this gun-grabbing trash to go to hell.After all this is said and done the NRA and the 2’nd amendment will be stronger than ever.HBH
