Sweeping VA gun ban, likely confiscation without grandfather clause, proposed by state legislature
AMN ^ | 11/26/19 | Ryan Morgan

Posted on 11/27/2019 11:12:58 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

Virginia lawmakers are now considering a state law banning the ownership of certain semi-automatic guns deemed “assault firearms” and limiting the magazine capacity of other firearms in the state — and there are no clauses that would allow existing owners to continue possessing them.

Virginia state Sen. Richard Saslaw introduced SB16, which would expand the definition of an “assault firearm” to cover many different semi-automatic rifles and pistols. The bill would call for the ban of such firearms, barring people from purchasing, possessing, selling or transferring those weapons.

Among the changes in firearm definitions, the bill would expand the term “assault firearm” to include semi-automatic centerfire rifles and pistols with a fixed magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds. The bill would also ban semi-automatic rifles and pistols with detachable magazines that also have folding and telescoping stocks, barrel shrouds, and thumbhole grips and second hand grips.

Rifles, under the new bill, would not be allowed pistol grips, bayonet mounts, grenade or flare launchers, silencers, muzzle breaks and flash suppressors.

The headline led me to believe it was the Veteran’s Administration proposing the gun grab.

But, are you willing to shoot your way out?

I think you are correct.

Amendment XIV Section 3

“The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution...”

Amendment II:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

He is breaking his oath of office, actively seeking to violate Amendment II, and is therefore persona non grata. Impeach and remove him immediately.

I understand that over a dozen counties saw this coming and are declaring themselves 2A Sanctuaries

Heard about this on OAN. Good. Tyrants must be met head on.

I’m attending the Gloucester County Supervisors’ vote Tuesday, as they vote to join the growing list of 2A sanctuaries. When my wife and I call it a career in 2021, we’re out of here.

Many will quietly keep their weapons for home defense and when they are invaded, use the weapons and face jail time for defending themselves. This is happening in England.

With full knowledge of what the Democrat Party does and believes in, enough voters voted for them to put them in positions of power. What did they think would happen? One thing for sure is, the gun owners in Virginia are going to have to shit or get off the pot. The Democrats are serious about what they intend to do.

I predict, at the minimum, the sale of home defense shotguns will be up in VA.

I say we have been swamped by people flooding in from the third world. Thankfully, I’ve already established an installation in WV.

Lots of illegal voters voted in the VA election. NOVA is infested with illegal immigrants.

I would be one of them. Moved back to my beloved Midwest earlier this year from Virginia. Saw the writing on the wall.

Being a transplanted Virginian,
I used to say “ don’t ask a man if he’s from Virginia, if he’s not you’ll embarrass him “
Now I’m forced to say I’m from Virginia and it’s embarrassing!

Congress to the rescue of 2nd Amendment (2A)-protected arms rights of Virginians! (Yeah, right)

Patriots are reminded that the states have given Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to strengthen constitutionally enumerated rights, including 2A.

From the 14th Amendment:

In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, included 2A when he read the Bill of Rights as main examples of enumerated rights that 14A applies to states.

John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about in middle of 2nd column.)

Also, note that the Supreme Court had clarified in Minor v. Happersett that 14A was partly intended to strengthen constitutionally enumerated rights.

“3. The right of suffrage was not necessarily one of the privileges or immunities of citizenship before the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, and that amendment does not add to these privileges and immunities. It simply furnishes additional guaranty for the protection of such as the citizen already had [emphasis added].” —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

H O W E V E R…

We are still being oppressed under the boots of worthless career federal lawmakers left over from the lawless Obama Administration, corrupt lawmakers who will predictably continue to wrongly remain silent while state actors abridge constitutionally enumerated predictions.

The remedy for constitutionally failed federal and state governments…

All patriots in the nation need to come to the rescue of patriots in Virginia and other activist states by electing a new patriot Congress that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, now KAG, but will also do this.

New patriots also need to promise to exercise their exercise their 14A powers to make penal laws that discourage activist state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, 2A rights in this example.

Also regarding 14A:

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

Sanctuaries to Release Illegal Immigrants Jailed for Rape, Murder, Child Molestation

Judging by the headlines it appears as if ignorant and dumb liberals/socialists are desperately trying to incite a civil war. What happened to common sense?

The Supreme Court refuses to take up 2nd Amendment cases (per Justice Thomas), and this is what happens.

I just think voters can’t believe that the democratic party they knew would do this. So they didn’t vote.

They will now understand that the democrats in Virginia now are not the democrats they grew up with.

And maybe this will be short-lived, as there’s another house election in 2 years, as well as the governorship, and maybe this will be what we need to get rid of the old guard GOP leadership and win elections again.
