Virginia Democrats Working On Bill To Confiscate Some Legally Owned Firearms, Report

It was only a matter of time after Democrats grabbed all of the power in Virginia for them to begin to enact a radical left-wing agenda.

And it should serve as a warning for the voters of any state to pay attention to so they know what is headed their way if they make this mistake.

The first step that Virginia lawmakers are doing, and they have a good chance of enacting with their Democrat governor, is confiscating guns from those who legally own their firearms.

~~~SNIP~~~

And the governor was not done there. When asked by reporters if he would confiscate legally owned “assault weapons” he said he is working on it.

“That’s something I’m working [on] with our secretary of public safety,” the governor said. “I’ll work with the gun violence activists, and we’ll work [on] that. I don’t have a definitive plan today.”

Just a couple months ago John Cleese (of Monty Python fame)took a lot of heat for saying in an interview he considered London no longer British. Regardless of the heat, he did not apologize or back down.

Yes, this could be interesting if real enforcement is tried.

The last time I heard, VCDL had about 400,000 supporters of varying degrees of participation. They need at least a couple of million, and they need to organize.......RAPIDLY.

Constitutional sheriffs, ladies and gentlemen. Please take a look at Sheriff Mack's Constitutional Sheriffs Association (CSA). Because it is coming to your county.

The voters were warned. Hopefully this will be a lesson to people in other states.

If it can't be stopped in the legislature first, when this law passes, some individual or group needs to take it to court.

This would seem to be unconstitutional at first blush.

I notice that 26 counties in Virginia have declared themselves sanctuaries for the 2nd Amendment.

Maybe Virginia will be where the second Civil War in this country will start.

Great chance to give the Dems the “gun violence” they deserve.

We only elect Constitutional sheriffs in my county Pickens SC. I believe most of the counties in SC are Constitutional sheriffs.

Yes they are, and dozens of counties have either voted to become 2nd Amendment sanctuaries or are moving in that direction. I was with the gathering outside the Gloucester County courthouse when the the Board of Supervisors passed the measure, 7-0. Gloucester is a very conservative county.

That was reiterated quite pointedly numerous times during the public comment portion of the meeting last night in Gloucester.

Thanks for the link.

Do you think Northam realizes the uprising this would create?

The count of municipalities and counties having passed measures as 2nd Amendment sanctuaries is now 43, with several dozens more either with planned votes or in discussion.

No public indication yet that he's deterred. This guy is a hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool leftist. It will take a serious come-to-Jesus event for him to change his mind. He and the dems have been fondling themselves over this wet dream for years.

Northam won't be deterred. Northam doesn't believe anyone will risk what they have to have a physical revolt against the state government.

He is depending on complacency and an unwillingness to lose everything you have to rebel against his tyranny.

If the Dems do this they will turn many citizens who have never fired a gun in anger or self defense into criminals and people will get killed because of attempts at confiscation - probably what the rabid Left wants.
