The Colorado Bureau of investigation “advises local law enforcement to ignore and violate new Colorado gun laws,” Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith disclosed yesterday on a Facebook post.

Smith is one of 55 sheriffs joining in an Independence Institute “federal civil rights lawsuit against two bills passed by the Colorado legislature in March.”
