A bill to block state and local police officers from enforcing any new federal gun restrictions drew criticism at a public hearing on Wednesday.
The House Judiciary Committee held the hearing where former prosecutor Randy Hillman, who was representing the Alabama Sheriffs' Association, said the measure would put law enforcement officers in a position of having to "pick and choose" what to enforce.
The committee could vote on the proposal next week, and the Alabama Senate has already passed a similar bill.
