The DA also said he wouldn’t go along with anything blatantly unconstitutional.Mad respect for the sheriff of Bernalillo County and the Albuquerque cops. They basically told Grisham, "Not on our watch". I was frankly surprised that the sheriff simply told her no because she was doing something blatantly anti-constitutional and that he wasn't going to endanger his officers because of the potential reaction by law-abiding citizens. That second reason tells me he understands the reality of pushing people too far and what the blowback could be.
This is the primary reason I don't believe they'll ever try confiscation. In any community, the ratio of cops to citizens is badly one-sided and cops have no chance of imposing the political will of a government onto unwilling citizens.
