The population centers elected Democratic majorities in both the state house and senate along with a Democrat governor. Immediately after the election results were in one of the
losers winners announced their plan to implement confiscation of all AR-15 rifles in the state.
He forgot that a whole lot of Virginians live there.
Here is a map of the counties that have now passed 2nd Amendment Sanctuary bills making gun confiscation illegal.
Then there is Culpepper County:
Sheriff promises to ‘deputize thousands’ if his state passes gun control
A Virginia sheriff has vowed to deputize thousands in his county should the state government pass stringent gun control measures.
The Culpepper County Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to proclaim the county a Second Amendment Constitutional County last week, according to Fox News. At the meeting, Sheriff Scott Jenkins announced that he would deputize masses of Culpepper residents to protect their Second Amendment rights.
“My office will always encourage and support our citizens in firearms training, concealed carry permits, and the ability to defend themselves and their families,” Jenkins’s office wrote in a Facebook post during the meeting. “If necessary, I plan to properly screen and deputize thousands of our law-abiding citizens to protect their constitutional right to own firearms.”
Dozens of counties across Virginia have passed resolutions similar to Culpepper’s. The pro-Second Amendment wave is a direct response to threats by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to enact strict gun control laws now that Democrats have taken over the legislature.
The big mouth legislator has backed down a bit. Now they simply want to register all the guns (for now). As if gun owners are as stupid as Democratic legislators. That’s the thing about hanging around with your own kind too much. You start thinking you know something.
Of course loose lips has no intention of confiscating anybody’s anything. He wants to send armed agents to do that for he and his other cowardly buddies. I suspect some of Virginia’s hunters might find new targets when this gunfight breaks out in earnest.
With the sheriffs and county governments in open resistance, the Big D idiots are threatening to send in the Virginia National Guard.
Oops again, dimbulb. The Guard is comprised of Virginians. It is not a little plastic piece on a board game. Even IF half of the Guardsmen thought disarming their fellows was a good idea, they would meet armed resistance that would shock the the world … and those who would rule it.
Reaction to the Democrat majority’s lovely plans is rapid fire … semi-auto fershur, perhaps approaching full-auto.
Tazewell County’s Board of Supervisors passes sanctuary county measure and creates county militia.
As you can see from this small sampling of articles and the map above, Virginians are not rolling over saying “Yes Massa”. Moreover, liberty lovers from other states, well aware of gun control’s history, are offering to visit Virginia for the festivities.
This bit of history is making the rounds now:
The last time the National Guard was used to seize weapons, 72 were killed and more than 200 injured.
Spoiler: it was a couple hundred years ago. However, many people in this once free country have good memories and also have been pushed into that proverbial corner where retreat is no longer an option.
Now is a good time to visit the Oath Keepers website and learn a bit about people who swore an oath to the Constitution and who have not rescinded their pledges. There are a lot of us, whether members or not who do place much higher value on The Constitution than the politicians savaging it.
What we have is a show worth watching. We all hope bullets don’t fly here, but if it starts nobody can predict where it will lead.
Keep your powder dry.
