A candidate for Sheriff was caught on video joking about killing those who insist on retaining their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms:

A candidate for sheriff in Buncombe County, North Carolina recently joked about killing people who wish to retain their constitutional right to bear arms. R. Daryl Fisher, who is running as a Democrat, quipped at a campaign event: “You’ve heard people say: ‘You’ll have to pry my gun from my cold, dead hands.’ Okay!”

His statement, which implied that it was “okay” to kill gun owners in order to confiscate their guns, met with laughter and applause from those in attendance. You can watch it in the video below.

Shockingly, given his lack of understanding of the Second Amendment, Fisher has been in law enforcement since 1958. He announced his candidacy for sheriff last June:

Fisher, who has had a career in law enforcement since 1985, sent a letter to county citizens announcing his candidacy Wednesday.

He is running on a campaign slogan “Justice For All,” Fisher said, which includes concepts he has learned throughout his time with several Western North Carolina agencies.

He believes law and order should prevail.

“For anyone committing a serious crime or crime against another person, a complete and thorough investigation is needed to seek prosecution to the fullest extent of that the law allows,” he said. “This especially includes domestic violence offenses.”

The slogan also includes compassion and discretion.

He said that victims of crimes deserve compassion and empathy by those serving them. Law enforcement officers should use discretion if a citizen can be assisted through a warning rather than a law enforcement action.

Fisher is also running based on his experience and skills.

“I feel I would excel in serving as your elected Sheriff,” he wrote in a letter to citizens.

“What I have learned in my life is that to be most successful, a visionary leader must marry successes from the past with resources from the present and future to promote higher quality of life for those we serve.”

Should a man who wants to kill legal gun owners ever be allowed to serve in law enforcement again? Should this permanently disqualify him?
