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.
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 peoples 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.
Their 12-page memo was both in defense of the state gun sanctuary movement that has been adopted by 114 counties and communities and a challenge to the opinion of Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring that the sanctuaries have no legal effect.

Phil Van Cleave VCDL (@VCDL_ORG) December 24, 2019 The movement sweeping Virginia has in less than two months become the national model for fighting gun control. In November, the Democrats took control of the state legislature and, backed by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, have offered several gun control proposals.
In reaction, gun owners have flooded into county and city meetings to demand that their representatives approve sanctuary resolutions to ignore gun control laws, similar to how immigration sanctuary resolutions work.

Leftists only care about court decisions they like. Heller is void in their eyes because it wasn’t issued by liberals.

I guess the blackfaced motherf*cker never heard of Johnny Tremain.
This is gonna get interesting.
They’re not saying anything probably because once Gov. Coonman gives the order, Trump will federalize the National Guard and tell them to go home.

planning on it
Looks as if Richmond will be surrounded again.
Notice how they sneeringly put “sanctuary” in quotes?
They don’t do that for migrant sanctuaries, I’ll betcha.
I stood at the Jefferson Memorial in DC and read what was on the walls. The tears streamed down my face.
Lord, what great men they were.
Imagine if you the following scenario, which BTW shows the inherent danger in red flag Red Flag laws?
This IS the way it will happen. It already has in a few states...
Red Flag Laws. Heres what will happen...
Its a Sunday night and your family has all gone to bed. You let the dogs back in and lock the deadbolt like you do every night. All the lights are off now except a couple of night lights scattered throughout the house leaving that dim glow throughout your home. Its bedtime and work and school are going to come early in the morning. You crawl in bed, kiss your wife and drift off to sleep being thankful for the air conditioning that allows you to pull that heavy quilt up over your shoulder despite the fact its still 85 degrees outside. A few hours pass...
0200 Monday morning and your wife taps your leg and says, baby I heard something outside. As you sit up in bed you hear the dog growling in the living room and you know something isnt right. You grab that trusty ole 870 and head into the living room. Your wife grabs her 9mm and heads down the hall to the kids rooms just like you have rehearsed. Good boy you say as you enter the living room, trying to calm both the dog and your wife just as splinters fly across the room and the front door flys open. Oh shit! As you shoulder your weapon and send a load of 00 Buck across your living room and see the perpetrator fall in a heap. Before the thank God can even run across your brain, you see a second man coming in the door and you fire again. This time you hear the pop of your wifes 9mm as she has joined in the fight. It has to be those damn meth heads from down in town! Just then you are consumed by a wall of bullets as you see multiple muzzle flashes from just outside the door and you realize something isnt right. You turn to yell at your wife to get down just in time to see her take a load of buckshot to the face and her brain matter splatter the wall behind her. You feel the burning as 5.56 bullets Riddle your body. One clips your spine as youre scrambling away and paralyzes your lower body. The last thing you see before you bleed out is a SWAT guy from your local PD holding your teenage daughter on the floor with a knee in her back as she screams and crys because she just watched her parents being murdered.
Why did this happen? Youre no criminal. Youre a Conservative and an honest family man. Your wife is a school teacher and your daughters are on honor roll. Why did this happen?
Well two days ago, you and your wife went down to welcome the new neighbors to the community. Your wife made them some of her world famous cookies and you invited them to church on Sunday. Later that afternoon, you got a friend request on Facebook from your new neighbor, which you gladly accepted. They seemed a little odd, but in the few minutes you talked they were pleasant enough. The next day while you and your family sat in church, your new neighbor scrolled through your Facebook profile. He saw that Trump 2020 post and got infuriated. See, hes a staunch liberal and he hates your kind. The next thing he sees are the hunting pictures you took last fall when your daughter bagged her first buck. Now hes seething with fury because he is wholeheartedly against the slaughter of innocent animals. Next he sees your post from the last range day with your buddy and sees those scary black assault weapons on the table and that does it! He has to do something about the racist domestic terrorist living next door. He picks up the phone, calls the local Sheriffs Office and reports you as a threat under the new Red Flag law. The SO follows their SOPs and conducts a no knock warrant because you have now been denied due process and you are considered guilty until proven innocent.
Now you, your lovely wife and two deputies have been killed for nothing. Your daughter will have absolute hell for the rest of her life. She will never be that successful person you dreamed for her to be because of the mental tragedy caused from seeing her parents murdered. The local news paper will report that you were killed after firing on and killing two deputies and that over a thousand rounds of ammo and 22 guns were confiscated from your residence.
Oh, those two deputies were just following orders. They left behind families as well and had served their community for over a decade. They didnt know you were a stand-up guy with a great family. They werent allowed time to investigate things under due process. They were told you had threatened your neighbor and were out in the street waving an AR15 around.
This is the reality of Red Flag gun laws. Innocent people will lose their lives. Red Flag laws will be used for petty and vengeful reasons without merit.
Do not forget that ALL gun laws are an infringement of your rights!
“...and if it should lead to civil war, then let it be the final and end battle of the American Revolution...”
Would be a cool quote, if it was legit :/
Same goes for, “The British are coming!”
By Revere’s own writings, he explains he shouted that the “Regulars” were coming out.
That’s very far from true.
Majority of states have R congress.
No need to exaggerate to make it worse.
It’s bad enough.
Yep. Sadly, I think you are right. Gonna be a run on dried beans and ammo.
Not that it matters at this point.
All this is going to take is a shot from a concealed place. At that time it is all over.
This is the way it will happen...
Well written. A persuasive visualization of a real problem. Thank you.
Can you imagine living your whole life as a good guy, going through every day up to that point not realizing that is how its gonna end? Good people should take this lesson from everywhere else that its happened.
