Virginia Is Ground Zero in the War over Gun Control

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered,
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

St. Crispin’s Day Speech from Shakespeare’s “Henry V”

Cut the stupid crap.

Rumors of UN vehicles and rounding up patriots into camps have been around in survivalist sites since Clinton back in 1996. Nothing happened.

I said nothing about “rounding up patriots into camps”, so just drop that theory right now.

But this also does not mean that the UN are not engaging in anything nefarious in the US, nor that they do not have willing accomplices. Many local governments are trying to conform to the UNs bizarre “agenda 2021” and “agenda 2030”, as well as their “climate change” activities.

And the more you dig into it, the more it approaches the agenda of the utter wackos in the Democrat party running for president right now.

Logic and reason do not apply to them, and neither does their utter indifference as to how many people people die or suffer terribly in their schemes.

Bottom line: just because their ideas are utterly insane and almost guaranteed to fail, they still insist on trying them out.

In Virginia, one of their top Democrats proposed turning out their state National Guard to carry out mass confiscations. Other of their ideas include using the state police to arrest non-compliant Sheriffs. Their governor’s current plan is to create a “flying squad” of sorts, reminiscent of alcohol prohibition, to achieve this end.

{May 3, 2019) “Last Friday, President Trump took the historic step of ordering the “unsigning” of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty during his address to the NRA-ILA’s Leadership Forum. President Trump’s action effectively withdraws the United States from the most comprehensive effort towards international gun control.”

But there are still many Democrats, and many Democrat appointed federal judges just itching to, with no authority, overturn President Trump’s actions here, as they have done many times before.

So, while it is unlikely that the conspiracy theory will be carried out, as such, that is, with UN vehicles confiscating and arresting people, this does not mean that there are not ongoing schemes to achieve the same ends.

For example, even though he has no authority to do so, what if he decided to ask the UN for help in his state? Under president Trump it would be shot down immediately. But under a Democrat POTUS, would he even bother to challenge it in court?
