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 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.
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.”

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.

Doesn’t the law actually have to have been passed and “broken” to be challenged in court?
The Constitution IS THE LAW!

Just because it is a law, does not make the law just.

Why leave your guns at home? Seems to me, a few hundred well aimed shots in the vicinity a few dozen wannabee fascists in Richmond might just end the controversy or the desire to inspire such controversy, in a rather emphatic manner.
That was a disturbing and very convincing scenario. I fear that the horror you painted will repeatedly happen much as you described before patriots across the country begin preemptively hunting down the leftist vermin that like to instigate such murders of innocents in their homes. O_o
