Video: Oath Keeper Officer Calls on Brother Cops to Refuse to Enforce Gun Bans or Registration

In this video, Oathkeeper151, a New Jersey Police Officer who has been a member of Oath Keepers since 2009, makes it clear that he will not obey orders that violate the Bill of Rights. In particular, he says he will not be used as a tool of oppression against the American people who resist and refuse to comply with infringement on their right to bear arms, such as legislation or executive orders that decree they must register, get finger printed and photographed, like a criminal.

He asks his fellow officers what they are going to do if that happens. Will they keep their oaths? Here is his own description of his video:

In this video I ask my fellow Police Officers what they would do, if they were given an unlawful order. I also touch on the Assault Weapons Ban introduced by Senator Feinstein, and how this bill has the potential of putting us Police Officers in a very bad/even fatal predicament.

I spoke to him on the phone and he made it clear that he is not afraid to take this public stand because this is what needs to happen. He says the peace officers across America need to stand up and let the people know that they are on the side of the Bill of Rights, and that they will protect the rights of the people. In one of the comments on his video, another officer had this to say:

I’ll lay my badge down, stop doing what I love if someone tries to make me do something immoral or unconstitutional. Good video, take care

Oathkeeper151 agrees. He told me that if there were door to door raids for guns against Americans who refused to comply with registration or bans, he would either defend the people with his badge on, stepping between them and the oath breakers doing the raids, or he would lay his badge down on the table and then go join the people in resisting. He loves his work as a police officer, but his oath, and his responsibility to protect the people of his community, is more important than his job. His oath comes first. The rights of the people come first…. and he is not alone.

Let me know what you guys think about my idea:

I want to write an open letter to my local newspaper, and all my elected officials, including my local Sheriff to ask them outright to make a public reply to my question of whether or not they will choose to obey their sworn oath’s of office if an unlawful order comes down to confiscate, register or restrict beyond reason my God-given right of self-defense against all enemies. This is an intellectual inquiry, highly restricted from those with gun powder for brains and only for the Jeffersonians out there. If that’s OK to do on this website, Mr. Rhodes?

[STEWART: Dave, that is a solid idea. Go for it! Sheriff Mack is working on a resolution for Sheriffs to sign, and we are also working on general pledges for peace officers, military, veterans, and gun owners. Stay tuned! But go ahead and send your own letters.]

I’m in agreement with OK151 and respect him greatly for his boldness.

I am now retired LEO (34 years), and prior military. The agency I served with administered an oath that contained a pledge very similar to the one administered to me when I entered the military, except it also contained a provision pertaining to the State Constitution in which I reside. I hope and pray all departments have or will adopt such oath as our country is entering into very dangerous and critical times.

I also stay in contact with my senators and other representatives INTERNETrnet, phone and snail mail. The most recent letter was from our US Senator concerning the proposed threat the Spring of 2013 where rumor has it the US will sign a small arms treaty with the UN. Our senator still pledges to fight the proposed treaty plus another proposed UN resolution that would threatencensuresure INTERNETrnet world wide.

It was very encouraging to listen to the New Jersey Officer take his stand and I commend him for it.
Well Obama has made his speech on gun control and I fear there’s a lot to it than meets the eye. This is why it’s imperative that law enforcement and military keep their oaths and defy Obama to make them do anything that is unconstitutional. But I think it’s going to have to start with the individual states to put the brakes on Obama’s objectives. Right now I see there’s two states who have bills pending, Texas and Missouri I think that are defying any gun control mandates by the feds.
However, I just saw a different video recently, and even though it’s not new, it’s still VERY timely and something Americans need to watch and keep uppermost in their minds. What this video I saw earlier reminded me about was WWII and how Adolph Hitler had his Brown Shirts and Gestapo, besides regular law enforcement and the military to do his bidding. Obama apparently wants nothing less than this and he will be relentless to see that he has it. What remains to be seen is whether the American people will go like lambs to the slaughter or resist these attacks on their freedoms.

I can see from this vid that solemnnity and sincerity have not yet completely dropped out of the American lexicon…..what some of us have been fighting against and enduring for very miserable decades, sometimes “over there”, but far more importantly and vitally, right here on American soil where it counts and where the REAL battle for freedom has always been has apparently not yet prevailed…and what we did with what zero we had, was not all for nothing then.

When I enlisted in the United States Army I swore an oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies,both foreign and domestic.I feel that the oath did not end after I got out of the military.I stand ready to honor that oath if it becomes necessary.

I forgot to add the link to the video I was referring to. Please take a few minutes to listen to Judge Napolitano and his assessment about Obama’s private army. Thanks.

Unfortunately by the time this happens B.O will have his own police to enforce it.

Site Dedication

This site is dedicated to the memory of John William Adams (1925-2006), Marine and Oath Keeper extraordinaire.

John Adams, at the age of 16, lied about his age to join the Marines so he could fight against Imperial Japan in the Pacific. His enlistment date was December 10, 1941, just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor (see below). As a Marine rifleman, he fought the Japanese from island to island, across the pacific, including at Iwo Jima. We may have good men, but we never had better.

Until his death in 2006, he was a dedicated patriot who still took his oath to defend the Republic deadly serious. May God grant you the courage to do likewise.
