Rehmann said when he took his oath office, he swore to uphold the constitu- tions of the United States and the State of Minnesota. “I took that oath serious- ly.” Rehmann was invited to the Republi- can county convention to address gun- control issues and the Second Amend- ment’s right to bear arms. Rehmann stressed that the sheriff is not here to enforce federal laws, that is the duty of the federal agents, although they often work together. As to state legislation being authored Sheriff Rehmann to control guns, Rehmann was firm in checks. stating he “will not enforce statutes He pointed to a recent case of a Wa- that infringe upon your rights.” tertown man, convicted of murdering Rehmann pointed to comments by his mother years earlier, who was state Rep.
