The clash in Virginia over gun control has reached a new level, with proponents of a gun “sanctuary†movement urging active resistance to Democratic proposals in Richmond, citing the arguments that led to the American Revolution.......The sanctuary leaders called the potential Virginia gun control laws 'a violation of the Second Amendment'... and cited Revolutionary War-era heroes who fought oppressive control.
The movement plans to expand its local and county fight to the capital in Richmond in January when the legislature plans to take up gun control measures..... The groups have made plans to drive dozens of full buses to the capital on Jan. 20 for a lobbying day.
“Resistance to illegal and unauthorized government acts is not new,†said two leaders of the movement in noting the decisions by the Founding Fathers to sign the Declaration of Independence that challenged Great Britain and King George III.
“This doctrine is, in fact, foundational to our form of government. Indeed, the Declaration of Independence is a document of interposition, between the American colonists and a tyrannical King George III. Its signatories — the people’s representatives — pledged to one another ‘our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor,’ believing that they most likely would be tried and executed for treason against the crown,†said the new memo from the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the Virginia-based Gun Owners of America Inc.
