BTW, some really good comments at the source with more info.
Doesn’t look like a flood to me. They won’t really listen to them anyway. One of our local guys spoke against the gun control resolution our city council passed and one of the cat ladies replied that they could restrict us to flintlocks if they wanted to. They are arrogant beyond belief.
A lot has been said about the fact that the DC swamp has taken over northern VA. It is true but how good was voter turnout in the rest of the state in the last election? It hope this gun grab will wake up the rest of the state. The rats have infested the north but if the rest of the state comes out in the 80-90% range they can be beaten back. Times up.
One of the reasons for the American Revolution was King George taking away guns and rights of the people.
Delegates and senators at the table were obviously thinking “Look at these smelly Walmart deplorables.”
That's harsh.
Does VA have a means of recalling their legislators?
Nice!
Go Virginia! This is how you start taking your state’s government back.
And every empty chair in the photos is a Va gun owner that doesnt take the issue seriously. You need to fill it if you live there. No way around it this time.
A lot of attendees should have worn blackface.
The Founders took “individual rights” v the gang, collective, government as far as anybody had taken them. R.I.P. Founders.
I [still] don’t understand how actual written rights are [even] up for debate let alone taken away by the very institution that’s not allowed to “infringe” on this right.
Hands off our guns——at some point we will retaliate. I know that’s what they want as they feel it’s a “win-—win” for them regardless.
Their voice only counts in the voting booth.
i can’t find any news stories about the hearings.
This is the definition of media bias. They are not “lying” about the hearings, they simply are pretending they did not even happen.
I can’t even find a list of which delegates were AT the George Mason event — this article mentions one of them, and never shows a picture from the front so you can’t even identify them by faces (they probably had name cards, so a single picture of the delegates would have told us)
We wish they were flooding in but they aren’t. Look at all those empty seats, should have been 10,000 people there, it’s a lost cause most likely in VA
“increase state funding by $7.5 million for programs seen as a future down payment on extensive gun control enforcement.”
And gee, I wonder what that $7.5 million could have been done if it had been instead routed to improving youth crisis intervention initiatives both in and out of schools or family counselling services and other means aimed at domestic violence regardless of the weapon(s) used or suicide prevention phone lines? I know this is likely being rhetorical, but obviously the Government and Corporate people have other things on their minds.
There. Fixed it.
The Virginia Socialist Democrats have overplayed their hand. Their proposed gun control laws will make immediate felons out of ordinary law-abiding citizens. The people have seen the Democrat’s true intention now.
The Democrats may retreat from their current position but they will regroup and charge again in the near future.
Other than the Governor being your run of the mill gun grabber has anyone speculated why Virginia?
Is it the proximity to DC? is it that they manage to flip it purple in a relatively short span of time?
Is it the symbolism? Jefferson/Constitution/1 of the original 13 States..?
Otherwise, why wouldn’t they target say Maryland..which would seem like a easier state to confiscate guns and generally steam roll their citizenry?
If commonwealth parents were making sure that commonwealth schools are teaching their children their constitutional protections, then school children would be able to calm their pro-2A parents down by explaining the following to them.
The states have given Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to make penal laws to discourage state and commonwealth actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, the main author of Section 1 above, had included 2A when he read the Bill of Rights as main examples of constitutionally enumerated protections that 14A applies to the states.
John Bingham, Congressional Globe. (See 2nd Amendment (Article II) about in middle of 2nd column.)
H O W E V E R…
We’re still stuck with a worthless Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration that will predictably munch popcorn while watching commonwealth officials take away everybody’s guns on CNN during breaks from their mock impeachment of PDJT.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal, state and commonwealth governments…
All patriots in the country need to come to the rescue of citizens being oppressed by Virginia officials and state actors in other states.
More specifically, patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in November that will not only promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, now KAGA, but will also do this.
New patriot lawmakers also need to promise to exercise their 14A power to make penal laws that discourage state and commonwealth actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated rights, 2A protections in this example.
Remember in November!
MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
