Virginia governor’s call for 18-person gun ban force comes under fire
Washington Examiner ^ | 01/02/2020 | Paul Bedard

Excerpt:

Virginia’s pop-up gun sanctuary movement has turned its attention to fighting the governor’s call for a $4.8 million, 18-officer team to enforce his proposed “assault weapons” ban.

Two key groups issued an alert this week to push gun owners to four budget hearings Thursday around the state, asking them to quiz state legislators if they will vote to ban or confiscate weapons.

No Governor has the authority to bring in UN troops and to do so would be an act of war against the US and TREASON.

Northam isn’t that stupid

if cops try unlawfully to take my guns i will point out they are breaking the law. If a single hand touches the butt of a pistol, it will be a nasty firefight.

Exactly how do you know that? Having a slogan is a far cry from campaigning in a state.

I would suspect every state has a slogan, as every state has a state campaign director.

Why can’t they do a recall vote? Get rid of every one of the bastards that voted for an illegal and unconstitutional act? Then vote to recall the governor and lt gov.

Good pic to size them up.

Unless you have LAP ammo (Light Armor Piercing) best aim for the legs. Leg wounds remove people from the fight, create panic, screams, and need to get the wounded out.

Body Armor shouldn’t be that hard to over come.

Then his next move? National guard / martial law I guess.

Why do you think the VANG would comply in any meaningful way?

Virginia does not have provisions for recalling elected officials. They’d have to be either impeached or expelled, and given that the “majority” Demonrats in power (elected by a minority of the electorate on lines drawn explicitly to elect Demonrats as ordered by Demonrat judges and not the then-Republican legislature for the November 2019 election) are the ones needing expulsion, they’re not going to do it. This is an illegal Stalinist-occupied legislature, and should be treated as such. They will never permit a Republican majority elected legislature again as it stands. This is precisely what will happen if that totalitarian, anti-Constitutional and anti-God Demonrat party “wins” complete control of the federal government again.

I know it’s easy for me to type.

But shooting someone in law enforcement is a LOT LOT easier to type that one is willing to do than actually DOING it.

And other than shooting someone who is trying to forcefully take away your guns, how else would they be stopped.

Then that person or people will be arrested and thrown in prison for life.

I know. These people love their guns.

But no southerner even Brought a single rifle to protest their history being torn down.

And yet their gonna shoot at law enforcement?

I dunno. Hopefully it will never get that far that they have to make a choice

Even if it stops a 30.06 from penetrating, the shock of one or two hitting in the chest will stop the heart from beating.

IF, and this is a big if, the cops are not homicidal, trigger-happy types, they come to the house, step outside (on your porch) ask them why they are there, if they say to confiscate firearms, that is a federal crime. At point, their badges mean nothing, they are simply criminals with guns.
