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.

Governor "CoonMan" Northam, is this the way you plan on dealing with the non-compliant law abiding citizens of Virgina?

One good literary reference deserves another:

My take away from the manual: No enemy collaborators or supporters can be allowed to live in your area of operation.

No one in their right minds will give these jack booted aholes life insurance.

Or fire insurance, either, because their homes will go up in flames when freedom lovers learn where these Nazis live.

Amendment IV:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”

Amendment XIV Section 3:

"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

Article VI of the Constitution:

“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...”

Try messing with our Amendment II and VI rights and we will get you thrown out & barred from public office under Amendment XIV, Section 3.

He will be holed up in the statehouse. Hard to get the 19th bag filled.

Anyone remember the movie “Battle of Athens”?

Northam is playing this like the Charlottesville riot created by MacAuliffe. Objective: provoke comments and incidents he can portray as lawless white supremacists run amok. I would not put it past him to pick a mostly black enforcement squad to create a racial dimension, cynically hoping for LEO deaths he can exploit. Don’t go for the bait.

Defeating the funding for his goon squad is a good move. Why would the legislator fund enforcement of laws that do not yet exist, and well may not pass? At least some Dem Senators and Assemblypersons have to know that they will never be re-elected if they pass Northam’s agenda.

Ummm? An 18 person gun ban force? I seem to have read about a similar "government gun control" force in a fictional novel several years. And if I'm not mistaken much of the story took place in southeast Virginia.

You think maybe Governor "CoonMan" Northam read the book? Apparently not.

Now what was the name of the book? And who was the author? I think it may have been:

Here's an excerpt from Matt's book titled The Raid.

“I lived in NORVA Fairfax County for much of the 80s and it was always a bastion of conservatism. The liberals lived in Maryland. WTF happened?”

The same thing happening in Commierado
The ‘tards screwed up California so badly they moved to Colorado and brought their idiot beliefs with them.

These 18 better ask Gov. Coonman what provisions they’ll be for their families.

The Virginia version of CARB.
They want to ram this thru and make it permanent with non-elected officials.
Virginia will never get rid of it.

“The mask slipped way back in 1962 when they ONLY wanted to register handguns, Rifles will not be affected!”

The Democrats have been screaming for gun registration and bans since 1962.
1962-Call for Handgun registration ONLY! Rifles will not be affected.
1963-Call for registration of All guns and a ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles!
1968-Got a ban on small foreign handguns and 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles.
1971 Call for Ban on small American handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1975 Call for Ban on all handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1981 Actress Lee Grant on ABC’s GMA yells...
“The NRA is a rifle organization! They should give up their handguns and they can keep their rifles!”
1984 Call for ban on semi-auto rifles.
1994 Ten year “ban” on “a-s-s-ault rifles”.
2000 Call to ban single shot .50 cal rifles.

Rest assured if they get a ban on semi-auto rifles, they will be back for the handguns, and more, and more and more.

Aks any police officer if body armor will stop a shot from a 300 win mag-a common hunting rifle. Or a 7MM Remington mag, or a 30-06. 308, and on and on.

It wont.
