Virginia Is Ground Zero in the War over Gun Control

When Democrats won control of both houses of the Virginia Legislature November 5, 2019, Virginia gun-owners got a rude wake-up call. Now that wake-up call is spreading to gun-owners throughout the rest of the 49 states.

In July 2019, Gov. Ralph Northam proposed a package of eight proposals that would tighten Virginia's gun laws, known as some of the least restrictive in the country. Currently, Virginia's gun control measures of merit ban the sale of firearms only to high-risk individuals and those convicted of domestic violence. However, the proposals would turn the least restrictive into what some would call dangerously restrictive, a premeditated strike against the Second Amendment. Northam's proposed package calls for legislation:

I believe CW-1 was fired by the Harper’s Ferry incident in W VA. It’ll be interesting if CW-II starts because of VA.

And, sadly, methinks it will indeed start.

Progressives are pure evil and must be treated as such.

I fervently hope these frothing Virginian Democrats aren't stupid enough to actually force at long last the fearsome "electric boogaloo." Everyone would lose, even the nominal victors. -_-

I wonder how many false flags the gun grabbers have set up? After all, they need victims.

Virginia politicians need to take their votes on this subject very seriously. As if their lives depended on it.
Not a threat, a prediction.
If their votes lead us to a direction of violence, people will point to them and say, ‘There! There is one of the pols who started this!’
And the family members of those killed in the turmoil might just get mad enough to take justice into their own hands.
Too late then to say, ‘Hey, I didn’t know!’ or ‘Hey, I just voted the way my party leaders told me to vote. I was really against it!’

If Northampton doesn’t back off, people are going to get hurt, or worse.

Virginians need to make it very clear that this has indeed become a national issue, and that overwhelming out of state support is being offered.

I believe this is a false flag operation designed to cause an over reaction. Whatever we do to defend our rights, they will claim it as a pretext to do whatever they want when they lose an election.

I agree but heard that this is to cover for the Abortion bill that they want to pass.

know your enemy, he is in your face, be prepared to get in his face.

know where every stinking politician lives, eats, what they drive where their kids go to school, their recreation habits etc...their votes need to feel some personal responsibility and pressure. look into their finances, those who finance their campaigns, friends, associates, etc for possible corruption...

we should have “dossiers”on all anti-constitutional, anti american politicians and their co-conspirators...do it now and maybe TSHF won’t happen and if it does..we will be prepared.

West Virginia did not exist in 1859. The counties that make up WV seceded from Virginia when the Virginia assembly voted for sessecession.

It was a lot like now, when the Democrat traitors were trying to create a new counrty while hiding behind the Constitution.

At least, this time Democrats don't try to claim Patriotism. It's too deep for them.

So there is no coincidence that its Virginia for this experiment. Virginia is right next door to DC. If the Democrats can be successful using the NG to disarm citizens through violent means, they will use the NG to take over DC. they want a revolution, not a civil war. This is all about Power, Greed and Lust for the Democrats, and they will stop at nothing to get it and the cost means nothing to them, even if a few million have to die for them to achieve their goal. They are more dangerous that all the other enemies of the United States combined. Make no mistake, the Democrats will turn this country into a burning fire if they can’t win in 2020. They tell us so every time they open their mouths. They have revealed it, and nobody is listening.

It’s funny, when NY instituted the Safe Act, there was not this kind of outcry.

I think it is the frog in the pot scenario.

In NY, it’s been going on gradually so nobody really noticed.

This time, in VA, it happened suddenly in a state where people are used to their freedoms and suddenly, when dems took control, they did what dems do. They really showed their true colors this time by going for broke and this situation can be used as an example of what we can expect if dems take control of the US House and Senate.

Blast from the recent past (2016)

The question now becomes: are these vehicles still located in the US, and if so, where?

....just for info, that little “incident” took place at Harpers Ferry, located in Jefferson County, which was at that time part of the Commonwealth of Virginia...Jefferson County as well as 12 other Virginia Counties (if my increasingly feeble grasp of history recalls correctly...) did indeed split off of Virginia and became the State of West (BY GOD!!) Virginia at the start of The War of Northern Agression....
