The 16 December 2013 edition of CBS This Morning stood out as the only mention so far on the Big Three's morning and evening newscasts of the New York Times' Sunday item about the sheriffs in Colorado who are "refusing to enforce" gun control laws passed earlier in 2013, "saying that they are too vague and violate Second Amendment rights. Many more say that enforcement will be 'a very low priority,' as several sheriffs put it."
Anchor Charlie Rose devoted a 14-second news brief to writer Erica Goode's story about the law enforcement officials' stance against the new laws in the Centennial State:
CHARLIE ROSE: The New York Times says sheriffs are refusing to enforce tough new gun laws. They argue the rules are too vague, and violate the Second Amendment. In Colorado, 55 of the 62 elected sheriffs joined a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality.
