Some elected sheriffs have suggested they wouldnt enforce gun control measures, tapping into an ideology that sheriffs are the final arbiter of what is constitutional. But that movement hasnt sparked action from Gov. Ron DeSantis.
I wonder why 🤔

Hillsborough County State Attorney Andrew Warren isnt the only elected official in Florida who has promised not to enforce laws he thinks are unconstitutional.
Some elected sheriffs have suggested they wouldnt enforce gun control measures, tapping into an ideology that sheriffs are the final arbiter of what is constitutional.
But that movement hasnt sparked action from Gov. Ron DeSantis, who ordered a statewide review of state attorneys and their policy positions.
DeSantis suspended Warren on Thursday, accusing him of putting himself above the law by pledging not to prosecute women seeking an abortion from their doctor and vowing to protect transgender minors receiving gender-transition treatment.
We are not going to allow this pathogen thats been around the country of ignoring the law, DeSantis said. We are not going to let that get a foothold here in the state of Florida.

Polk County. He is one of several sheriffs appearing in intensely anti-Demings ads that are airing frequently.
