Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, Ariz., and an antigovernment 鈥淧atriot鈥� movement figure who leads the , has a long history of promoting the theory that county sheriffs, not federal law enforcement, represent the supreme law of the land. This radically decentralized vision of government was first promoted by the old far-right movement.

Mack shot from obscurity to right-wing stardom in the mid-1990s when he challenged the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and won a victory in the U.S. Supreme Court that weakened the law. For the past two years, he has zigzagged across the country spreading conspiracy theories about the federal government and promoting his organization as a 鈥渓ine in the sand鈥� against government agents.

Fox Business channel鈥檚 Lou Dobbs Tonight gave Mack a platform to promote his views last night. , of course, is no stranger to .

Mack did not disappoint, telling Dobbs that in order to 鈥渟ave America鈥�, county sheriffs need to refuse to obey federal gun laws. He hinted, as he often does, that civil war might result if they fail to do so.

The legislation that sparked the segment was a approved by voters in Burlington, Vt., in early March. The ordinances, which do not involve state or federal authorities, 鈥渁llow police to seize weapons from suspects of domestic violence, ban firearms from any city establishment with a liquor license and require gun owners to safely store all guns.鈥�

sheriffs in Vermont to refuse to enforce the laws: "Sheriffs have a constitutional duty to refuse to comply with such ordinances. We're seeing sheriffs in New York oppose the Safe Act and Gov. Cuomo. If we have sheriffs in New York doing this, how much more should we have sheriffs doing it in Vermont?"

Last night鈥檚 segment began with Dobbs describing the Vermont ordinances as 鈥淥bamaesque.鈥� Then Mack started into a diatribe about radically decentralizing government to 鈥渢ake America back鈥�:

MACK: Well, we want the borders protected. They ignore the immigration laws, and they do pick and choose quite often. But we don鈥檛 want to pick and choose. We want the Constitution enforced by those in local and municipal jurisdictions who swore an oath to do just that.

And so this really is a badge vs. the badge situation, and I believe that the biggest badge in the county is the county sheriff. The county sheriff is the only elected law enforcement officer in the county. He reports directly to the people, he鈥檚 not a bureaucrat, he doesn鈥檛 answer to other bureaucrats.

If we鈥檙e going to take America back, then we must do so one county at a time, sheriff by sheriff.

Then Mack railed against the federal government, which he said has 鈥渞aids going on against honest American citizens all the time.鈥� He told Dobbs that 鈥渨e鈥檙e not trying to cause civil war or revolution,鈥� but that the only peaceful way of saving America is through nullification:

MACK: This isn鈥檛 just a mess anymore, Lou. This is America dying. And we can save her. And we can make it all peaceful if we have sheriffs and local officials that will just tell the federal government, 鈥淭here鈥檚 a few things you鈥檙e not gonna do here.鈥�

Dobbs never bothered to ask Mack how he could argue for local control while trying to undermine local control in Burlington. That would be too much to expect.
