DeLay is already well known for his very pro-RKBA views
Sheriffs Arnott, DeLay join alliance of Missouri sheriffs
On Friday, July 11, a group of more than 20 Missouri sheriffs formed the Missouri Sheriffs Constitutional Firearms Alliance (MSCFA), “a statewide effort dedicated to safeguarding the constitutional right of law‑abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.” Among them were Jim Arnott, sheriff of Greene County, and Brad DeLay, sheriff of Lawrence County.
DeLay said that he joined the group because he agreed with their goal of protecting the Second Amendment.
“I joined because I am supporting Missouri sheriffs and others who want to have a voice in our legislature and other places when it comes to defending our Constitution,” he said.
Arnott said the MSCFA would promote law and order across the state while also defending the rights of private citizens to bear arms.
“This is an alliance of sheriffs from across the state that have committed to defending Second Amendment rights,” he said.
“The alliance provides a unified voice for Sheriffs passionate about protecting the Second Amendment. We will advocate for firearm protections for law-abiding citizens, legislation that holds criminals accountable, that demands transparency in criminal sentences, and promote firearm safety.”
Arnott said that the group would work with those who share their vision to achieve their aims.
“This alliance anticipates success through active engagement with legislators, law enforcement leaders, and community organizers who have the same goals,” he said. “We have a membership drive right now with membership as low as $25, which includes a subscription to the Missouri Sheriffs Association Magazine. The magazine provides regular updates on key issues affecting public safety, firearms legislation, and law enforcement efforts across the state.”
The group, Arnott said, would continue to grow in succeeding years.
“The MSCFA announcement is the beginning,” he said. “The alliance will grow, and so will our influence to protect the Second Amendment. We are excited to make a difference with our unified voice.”
While the MSCFA was started by Missouri sheriffs, anyone can join the organization. For more information, go online to www.missourisheriffsconstitutionalfirearmsalliance.com.
