The power to regulate is the power to deny. When government agencies are given power to regulate your rights, they are converted to privileges that the state ultimately has the power to take away or never grant in the first place. Such is the case in the fight for concealed carry in Wisconsin, where the AP notes:

About 90 percent of Wisconsin sheriffs would ask to opt out of the proposed concealed weapons bill if it became law because they do not have the resources to conduct adequate background checks on applicants, a spokesman for a sheriffs association says.

So here we have a bunch of lefty bureaucrats that are basically saying that we are going to deny your civil rights for "budgetary" reasons. Imagine this same government saying that they cannot process marriage licenses or voter applications because of the paperwork hassle.

Every sheriff who agrees with that line of thinking should be removed from office.
