'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution, National Guard deployment if police don'

[Free Vulcan]

Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard.

After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law.

Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond.

There is nothing good that can come from this. The Va governor no doubt thinks he can get on a  helicopter or a airplane and escape to safety,but that's not the world we live in anymore.

LOTS of people are going to end up dead or crippled for life,and their families will be homeless due to the un-Constitutional actions of a globalist shithead control freak,and may Unintended Consequences visit HIS home and family.

And this boys and girls is why we have a Second Amendment.  It's the only thing preventing them from using barbed wire, cyanide showers, and ovens.

Send in the National Guard? Ummmmmmmmm ...... how many of those Guard members are targets of the Dems' tyranny? The Dems' mouths are writing checks their hands and feet can't and won't cash.

EXACTLY!

It's almost hilarious sometimes the lengths the commie Left will go to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, to the point that they confirm exactly why we need the 2nd Amendment, such as is illustrated in this article.

They are literally their own self-fufilling prophecy.

Va Dems threaten police with prosecution if new gun laws not enforced, float National Guard deployment
December 13, 2019 | Frieda Powers

Democrats are threatening Virginia law enforcement officials with prosecution and even National Guard deployment if they refuse to carry out anticipated gun control measures.

Lawmakers representing Virginia on Capitol Hill are echoing Gov. Ralph Northam in calling for “consequences” for local police who may refuse to enforce future gun control laws if legislation proposed by some Democrats goes through.

The National Guard is a strictly 'volunteer' Service.
Who the hell is going volunteer to die?

Northam has the authority to "call out the Guard". His problem may be with how many Guard members will be willing to enforce an unconstitutional law on their neighbors and fellow Guard members. He would be wise not to force that choice and learn how Guard members choose.

Providing,of course,that they show up and decide to not follow orders they consider to be un-Constutional.

Or even become pro-active,and march on Richmond and arrest the Governor.

He is an arrogant globalist asshat that almost certainly considers NG members to be one small step above retarded,and as willing to follow orders as a trained dog.

I personally hope they march on Richmond and hang him.

Wouldn't THAT be something?
