Criticizes Crisafulli gun sanctuary

The following letter was sent to Worcester County Sheriff Matthew Crisafulli and forwarded to Bayside Gazette/Ocean City Today

Dear Sir,

I believe I voted for you when you ran in the last election. It won’t happen again if you persist in trying to declare Worcester County a sanctuary county.

You have sworn an oath to abide by the laws of Maryland and by your support of sanctuary for gun control, you would not be abiding by that oath.

You would be breaking Maryland law, worse you are encouraging others to do the same. I do not recall you saying when you were elected that you were only going to represent those people with guns.

If you had, I certainly would not have voted for you.

Since it is only your declaration, and not county policy, it is basically for show only. Why? I do not understand what your purpose is for even pressing for this policy.

Considering the lack of trust people have in law enforcement today, this is a bad precedent. If you can determine that you are not going to enforce any gun control laws that are put forth by the Maryland legislature, what other laws can you decide that you are not going to enforce or respect?

You are in essence becoming a vigilante.  I truly hope you rethink your position on this matter.
