In regards to the raid on Ares Armor gun shop recently conducted by the ATF in San Diego County, I have determined that the San Diego County Sheriff, William Gore, allowed the seizure to take place, when he had the constitutional obligation to stop the unlawful actions of the unconstitutional Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms federal agency.
Without constitutional authority, government and the courts can conduct nothing lawful, and government has no authority to disparage our rights. The seizure of records and products at the Ares Armor gun shop in San Diego County was unconstitutional, and the Sheriff must be held accountable.
The following is a letter I just sent to the San Diego Sheriff's office.

Dear Sheriff Gore,
The oath of office you took as Sheriff of San Diego County is the same as the one taken by peace officers, and like the one I took to join the military when I wore a younger man’s clothes a long time ago. However, yours has a special caveat attached. You are more than an officer of the law. Your position as a County Sheriff carries great constitutional responsibility. You are the lawful Chief Executive Officer and highest Peace Officer of the entire County, and unlike the police, you must report directly to the Citizens of the County. You are a constitutional officer, and your duties, responsibilities, and authorities are not subject to legislation, or federal intrusion. Only the citizens, through constitutional amendment, can diminish your duties as a constitutional officer, which means it is your obligation to support, defend, and honor the United States Constitution, and the California State Constitution.
Your position as Sheriff carries with it the trust of the people in that you will defend their constitutional rights against anyone that aims to disregard those rights. You are expected to exercise these powers honestly, and as the opinion in an early Wisconsin case says, (State ex, rel. Kennedy v. Brunst, 26 Wis. 412, 7 Am. Rep. 84) “Now it is quite true that the constitution nowhere defines what powers, rights and duties shall attach or belong to the office of sheriff. But there can be no doubt that the framers of the Constitution had reference to the office with those generally recognized legal duties and functions belonging to it in this country, and in the territory, when the Constitution was adopted.”
While the legislature may impose additional duties upon the sheriff, where he is recognized as a constitutional officer, it cannot restrict or reduce his powers as allowed by the Constitution, or as they were recognized by the people when the Constitution was adopted.
During the founding of this nation, everyone clearly understood the duties, responsibilities and authorities of Sheriffs, therefore it was not necessary to include a lengthy enumeration of their duties in the U.S. Constitution, or the State Constitutions. The office of the Sheriff dates back to about 500 AD in England and existed in the colonies in America from the time they were created. The constitutional offices of Sheriffs, Coroners, and Constables were clearly established in the State Constitutions of that time, and continue to this day.
What this all means is that you are the highest, elected constitutional authority in the county, therefore not only is it your obligation to protect the natural rights of your citizens, but that any outside agency, if they are to operate within your jurisdiction, must seek approval from you, first.
In this time of expanding governments, and unchecked powers by executives and members of judiciaries, there has been a force in place unlawfully working to eliminate, or at least minimize, the Office of the Sheriff and/or their duties, responsibilities and authorities since the American Civil War. These attempts are null and void, for those agencies do not have such an authority.
In your county, Sheriff Gore, the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) federal agency has been operating in an unconstitutional manner, working with like-minded judges, to seize the personal records of Ares Armor, and confiscate legal products. The ATF is acting in direct opposition of the 2nd Amendment, and Article I, Sections 9 and 10 where it states in the United States Constitution that neither the federal government, nor the States, may pass ex post facto law. Since the ATF is operating in San Diego County, conducting raids against a business owner conducting legal business transactions, the conclusion is that either (A) you gave this agency permission to seize the business’s records, and violate a restraining order against the agency, placing you in position of being in dereliction of your constitutional duties, or (B) the agency acted without your permission, which obligates you to arrest the members of the ATF that conducted the raid inside your county.
I ask that you take appropriate action, or you will soon find out that the citizens of your county may feel obligated to take their own appropriate action.
Sincerely,
Douglas V. Gibbs

Sheriff Gore is unlikely to ever see or read your letter. Correspondence such as this goes into what is internally known as "The Nut File," along with all of the Sovereign Citizen Declarations.
