About Sheriff Richard Mack
Our speaker for the Liberty Celebration is Sheriff Richard Mack, the Arizona Sheriff who dared to bring a suit against the Clinton Administration.
He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. He was named Elected Official of the Year by the Arizona-New Mexico Coalition of Counties in 1994, received the NRA Law Officer of the Year, inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame, 1995 Cicero Award, Samuel Adams Leadership Award from the Local Sovereignty Coalition, and Gun Owners of America Defender of the Second Amendment Award.
During his tenure, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the state that they would be required to enforce the so-called "Brady Bill" and run background checks at their expense under the law. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country, challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and ultimately, fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom.
On June 27, 1997, the Supreme Court ruled in Printz/Mack vs. USA that the Brady Bill was unconstitutional thus restoring the 10th Amendment:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution…are reserved to the States respectively or to the people.”
Today, Sheriff Mack is a tireless crusader for the Bill of Rights.
