***YOUTUBE-- NATIONAL PRESS CLUB, WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Sheriff Mack, founder and president of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, thanks the speakers at todays press conference and asserts that sheriffs who keep their oath to the U.S. Constitution always defeat federal incursions. 9/17/14 Mack spent eleven years with the police department of Provo, Utah, and then moved back to Arizona to run for Graham County Sheriff in 1988. While serving as sheriff, he attended the FBI National Academy and graduated in 1992. In 1994, he was named Elected Official of the Year by the Arizona-New Mexico Coalition of Counties. He was also named the National Rifle Association Law Enforcement Officer of the Year for 1994, and was inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame. During his tenure as sheriff, Mack received national attention for initiating Mack v. United States (later restyled to Printz v. United States), a lawsuit against the federal government which alleged that portions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act violated the United States Constitution, because they comprised a congressional action that compelled state officers to execute Federal law. In a 5–4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the provisions of the Brady Act in question were, in fact, unconstitutional. https://youtube/watch?v=IcKpwkc4XJQ&index=15&list=PL1h2WwSa-8dOPMeBKNFY8OTUaFXXUenNW
