It seems as though every day brings us something new out of Virginia relating to their now Democrat-led legislators and gun laws.
What’s the latest?
State Delegate Dan Helmer filed a bill this past Wednesday that would allow the Attorney General, Mark Herring, the ability to determine which states’ concealed carry permits Virginia would continue to recognize, and potentially making it almost impossible for people to protect themselves if they do not live in Virginia.
Not that they plan to let Virginians protect themselves either.
It appears that this would include members of the military that are stationed at one of the many Virginia bases.
You would think that they would want to wait until after the November elections to reveal what they have planned for the entire country.

It doesn't surprise me that extreme Liberals have taken over the Democrat party - and it doesn't surprise me that they sense that they can now implement their extreme ideas.
It does surprise me that there is almost no push back from Republicans and moderate Democrats..
Could it be that they feel that the RINO's have given up fighting them or that the RINO's agree with them?

The Virginia dims are insane. Note to the Virginia voters - elections have consequences. You better rise up against your government while you still can.

Virginia was a terrific state, #10, until the leftists flooded in and turned Northern VA into D.C. South and Hampton Roads into another New Jersey. Sensible and patriotic people there are trapped and outvoted.

To try this idea out, I'd suggest that they start with the Virginia state capitol police. They could make an announcement that the capitol and the legislature will be guarded with guards armed with only nightsticks.

Not that this delegate is anywhere near sanity, but with the extremely high level of Police Violence against completely innocent MS13 and other street gangs, it's just right that Virginia cops go without firearms..... (snork, snork, snork)
And the military? Sure, shootouts on military bases are very common in Virginia ~ two or three over the years ~ somewhere ~ Fort Myer? What a hot bed of military misbehavior doncha' know.
And who better to protect us from The Old Guard than the Virginia legislature. Perhaps they could send some Delegates to do pat downs on troops going to and from Arlington National Cemetery and see if they could collect some guns that way.
Oh, yeah!
Please Mr. President, send in the 82nd Airborne to arrest the entire State Government as soon as possible. They've gone berserk and are a danger to themselves, others, and Marine 1......

FTA:Mrs. Claywell informed LaRock of “threats of severe violence” that had been posted on Facebook, which “appear to condone violence against Guard members and their families” if they attempt to take their guns.
Yes. Remember when the Redcoats marched to Lexington and Concord to confiscate the guns and powder stored in their magazines?
Sorry, Mrs. Claywell, but if anyone comes to confiscate guns, they are not going to be treated as friends, they will be treated as enemies. It will be up to the National Guard troops to decide whether they want to uphold the Constitution or become a tool for the enemies of the Constitution, and be treated as such.
(A magazine was originally a building or room where gunpowder was stored, later the term was used for the part of a gun where the cartridges are stored)

Brilliant, take the guns away from the people, take the guns away from the police then watch the carnage. Then you'll swoop in with the answer won't you, socialism.

The day the Govenor of Virginia gives the order to the National guard to disarm the citizens is D Day.
Then we'll see if the Guard are Americans who refuse an unlawful order, or Jack booted thugs who will be included in the reaction that follows.

Legislation is pending to reduce the penalty for pot possession because FTA: Studies show marijuana arrests have disproportionately impacted people of color— '
Wanna bet that the draconian gun laws disproportionately impact POC too? But can't say that.

State Delegate Helmer is a veteran. Not sure - either Iraq or Afghanistan or both.

The Rats smell blood and they will force this issue right down the concerned wives throats, along with everyone else. THIS is what happens when they have enough power to do what they really want, in this case pander for votes from criminals and disarm citizens with no criminal record. Any deaths as a result of this will be used to justify the coup. Just as they have done before.
The wives should be concerned and outraged, but if they think the rest of the population is going to do nothing while their husbands try and enforce the illegal, unconstitutional rat laws, they are either dumber than the average Virginian or they think they have some kind of right to enforce illegal laws because of what some rat politicians ordered their husbands to do. In fact the OATH their husbands took is precisely the opposite of that. Their OATH in fact says their husbands should be defending their neighbors against would be tyrants. Can't the wives read and OATH, or do they think they are politicians private army?

Ninety out of ninety five counties, and many cities and towns have announced that they will NOT enforce any of these new anti-gun laws. That means only five counties support this. That's going to be the ones around Richmond and wrapped around the south side of DC, no question.
They are massively overplaying their hand.

The first result of taking guns away from law enforcement will be to turn Richmond into Baltimore. Talk about giving certain demographics “space to destroy”!

There's a big difference between a county sheriff, who is elected, refusing to enforce the law, and a municipal police chief who serves at the will and pleasure of the mayor, ordering his department to zealously enforce the law.

Where's the conservative, constitutionalist judge to put a stop to this. If it was a law against something the rats wanted, you can be sure they'd find an Obie judge to stop it!

Virginia Democrats are being rather naked about it, aren't they? Left completely to their own devices, many Democrats would go whole hog totalitarian on us, fulfilling the tyranny the Framers feared when they gave us the Second Amendment. Ninety of ninety-five Virginia counties are completely opposed to this move, which should be struck down by federal courts.
