Virginia AG to 2A Sanctuaries: New Gun Controls ‘Will Be Enforced’

by AWR HAWKINS
22 Dec 2019

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) released an opinion warning Second Amendment Sanctuary counties and municipalities that new gun controls “will be enforced.”

His opinion comes as at least 86 of Virginia’s 95 counties, and numerous cities too, have declared themselves to be Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

In all, over 100 local governments in Virginia have declared Second Amendment Sanctuary status.

Moreover, Culpeper Count Sheriff Scott Jenkins has made clear he is ready to “deputize thousands” to fight in defense of gun rights.

This is not going to end well.  This will do nothing but incite violence.

[skeeter]

What a campaign commercial this would make. Nothing will highlight the intrinsic unconstitutional lawlessness of the rat party better.

It's a "there" to which the AG and Goobernor should not go. How many of the state troopers and National Guard people on whom they're relying are the targets of this set of unconstitutional laws? How many will refuse to carry out this unconstitutional attack on their family members, friends, and neighbors?

Do the AG and Goobernor really want to learn all this the hard way?

Come and get them, Mr. Herring.

By Commonwealth law, all able-bodied persons between the ages of 16 and 55 (who are citizens or who have declared their intent to become citizens) are considered to be militia members.

§ 44-1. Composition of militia.

So basically, the governor will use one branch of the militia to forcibly disarm another branch.  I recall the German National Socialists doing something similar back in the 1930s.

The only surprise here is that it hasn't already happened.

MY best guess is the "athor-atays" will stage some cherry-picking "confiscations" at first to make it SEEM like it's no big deal and most citizens back confiscation. MY best guess is these people will be dyed-in-the-wool Dim voters who have been contacted in advance and agreed to give up their guns "for the cause,or the chil-runs". It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out at least some of them have even became Life Members of the NRA in the last couple of weeks to make it look even more reasonable as these "NRA Life Members agree there are too many guns on the street,and we all need to turn them in because "hits fo de chil-runs".

These "confiscations" will be well-covered by the media,with teebee camera trucks already there waiting for the State Police to show up so they can start filming.

Nah. The whole thing will be adjudicated and thrown out as unconstitutional.

Let's not forget this is the South. If the shooting starts, the VA state govt may find 2A supporters from other states streaming in to bolster the current numbers.

I know that the Nat'l Guard is now federalized, and I do not know what power if any a Governor has unilaterally to activate them. It would be funny if Trump put the hammer down on that with the threat to arrest the Gov, AG and other officials try to further instigate their little partisan insurrection.

Good information.

This time, if there is another war of northern aggression,  the South has enough bullets to win.

One either believes in Liberty, or one does not.  It is clear that the Democrats running Virginia do not.

Does Virginia have the right to petition to recall elected officials?

They'd be circulating now, if this was the Governor and AG of North Dakota.

As for the legislation passing, one look at that map will show legislators how to vote if they want their jobs.

This is,for all practical purposes,Northern Virginia,which is nothing more than a suburb of NJ,Maryland,and NYC.

It's a suburb of DC, mainly. Just like Montgomery and Prince George's counties in MD.

Yeah, the Bos/Wash corridor extends to Richmond, now, and likely farther. It's a cancer on the face of the Republic, and the Left coast isn't any better.

It is a suburb of DC made up of former Montgomery County and Prince George County residents who fled the high prices, high taxes, and crappy schools of Maryland and migrated across the Potomac to implement policies that raise prices, taxes, and turn Fairfax, Arlington, etc. schools into crappy ones.

We have the right, but the Clinton/Soros machine owns Virginia now.  Lived here since 1960 and the conversion to a socialist state is nearly complete.

Unfortunately, when the DEMS take control of both Houses and the Oval office, which because of demographics I believe will happen in 2024, this will likely be true of most states.

Any fool that gives his guns away with this unconstitutional amendment beckoning ain't no friend of mine.
