Earlier this month, Burlington, Va. residents voted 2-to-1 in favor of enacting three gun control measures, which has since been the subject of controversy by law enforcement.

According to Fox News, Richard Mack, Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association president, called on Vermont's law enforcement to not comply with the Burlington's new law.

"Sheriffs have a constitutional duty to refuse to comply with such ordinances," Mack said. "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?"

Burlington voters approved the three stiff gun control measures on March 4 that ban the carry of firearms in bars and restaurants, authorizes police to confiscate guns during domestic disputes and requires gun owners to keep firearms locked away at home, Fox reported.

Mack said he was surprised to see so many Americans willing to violate the Second Amendment.

"It's astonishing that people are so cavalier about violating the Second Amendment," Mack said. "Burlington City Council sounds like they are just following the trend to do things that are entirely unconstitutional and go around sheriffs, and go around the laws, or subvert the laws, or disobey the laws."

The nationwide sheriffs coalition claims that sheriffs represent the highest of law enforcement officials and have the duty of defending the citizens' rights in the U.S. It said that 17 police organizations and 500 U.S. sheriffs have already vowed to disregard any gun control measure it deems unconstitutional.

Many gun control legislations nationwide have already been met with protests and opposition form both citizens and police.

In Colorado, sheriffs refused to enforce the state's new background checks law and ban on high-capacity magazines while tens of thousands of Connecticut citizens vowed to not comply with a new gun and high-capacity magazine registration law.

Additionally, residents of Saratoga Springs, N.Y. protested the SAFE Act last week by burning a thousand gun registration forms, Fox reported.
