Congratulations, Virginia – you overcame the terrible peril that was patriots rallying in Richmond to peacefully express your disgust with Governor Jolson Klanrobe and his legislative back-up dancers’ attempt to strip you of your rights. You came, you saw, you protested, and then you swept up.
But the fight’s not over. It’s just starting. But know this – you will win.
Let’s begin with a basic principle: You have no moral obligation to respect or obey unconstitutional actions by a government. None. And when a government acts outside its constitutional limits, you do not merely have the right but the sacred duty to reject and replace it.
That’s the issue for patriots in Virginia.
Leftists decided to put all their efforts into grabbing the reins of government in that formerly not-terrible state, dumping tons of money into it and counting on the incompetence of the Virginia Republican Party plus the lassitude of many Virginians. See, a lot of people stayed home in 2018, and this is what you get. Remember, Hitler got into power following an election.
No, I’m not saying that your governor is Hitler, only that Hitler would dig his fashion sense.
So, what now?
What now is that you continue with the momentum from the rally and before. This is an insurgency – a peaceful one, despite the “de-escalate” crap your Jazz Singing’ chief executive is shoveling – and you need to keep up the pressure. This is about guns, which are the backstop of freedom but the liars and losers of the media want to pretend you don’t think so. They want to pretend you are looking for a chance to commit violence. They want to pretend you want to hurt people. That’s how they plan to delegitimize you.
Don’t fall for it.
First step: resolve that these garbage people, whether liberal pols, the media, Twitter blue checks, or Fredocon sissies who would have been all in with the Redcoats in 1776, can kiss your sweet Northam. When you don’t ignore them, mock them. They want to shame you into the shame of submission. They have zero moral authority. They are lying trash and worthy only of your contempt. Treat them accordingly.
Second step: turn your anger into votes. The gunfascists got into power because far too many of you thought, “Oh, we’ve had Democrats in power in Virginia before and it’s no big deal.” Okay, wrong. The Democrats today are not the Democrats of yesterday. These are CA/NY billionaire-funded activists whose goal is to turn you into serfs by taking your power, your money, and your dignity. You must register to vote then you must vote only for Republicans – and you need to make sure you don’t nominate any wuss Republicans during the primary. Next, you must reinvigorate your party. Why don’t you run for a seat on the local GOP committee? Organize! The mobilization for gun rights sanctuaries and the march on the Capitol proved that if you organize and act, you will win.
Look, I have seen this movie before. Here in California, when I was young, we were bright red and elected people like Reagan. Now our governor is that Beto-clone who wasn’t man enough to keep Don Jr.’s girlfriend. Our Republican Party became a joke, and the people walked away from it. Revitalize your party and vote the Democrats out. Start by sending a message this November by getting Virginia all-in for Donald Trump and firing a bunch of Dem congressjerks.
Step three: when they pass the laws fight them in court. Someday the Supreme Court is going to take another gun case and declare that there is no asterisk after the Second Amendment that leads to a note reading, “Just kidding.”
Step fou: resist unconstitutional laws. There is no moral obligation to respect them. Your sanctuary city and county proclamations are bold and powerful demonstrations of resolve. Hey, civil disobedience comes with consequences. But the refusal to comply with unconstitutional pronouncements forces the rights-haters to decide how far they want to push this. It is a classic insurgent strategy to provoke an overreaction by the regime. Every citizen they attempt to hammer for wanting to be free creates another 100 supporters of liberty.
Notice what is not a step? Violence. Yes, the ultimate purpose for all those beautiful firearms is, if deterrence fails, to kill tyrants and criminals, but we are so far from that the rare people blustering about being on the edge of open warfare in VA are silly and unconstructive. Let’s leave that to fiction about when violent tyranny has no other remedy – like in my newest novel Collapse and the other entries in the series, People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire, if you want to see the worst-case scenario. But this is not the worst-case scenario by a long shot; this is just a bad case scenario.
We can fix this.
We talk a lot about the obligation of others to observe our Constitution in letter and spirit, but we have that obligation too. We must use the processes the Founders laid down to achieve our goals. The steps outlined above, like taking the issue to the people in the next election and using the courts to vindicate our rights, are the foundation of our Constitution. Our Constitution is a tough old guy, and it can take this punch from those Dem weenies and stand right back up.
Virginia, you made America proud on January 20th. You defied your dishonest and obnoxious governor, who was crossing his fingers hoping for trouble. You defied the media liars who called you horrible names. You defied the few fools and cretins who showed up at the rally looking for trouble. You came out in the cold, normal Americans, proud and patriotic, and demanded your liberties peacefully, powerfully and gloriously.
Now you have to finish the fight. Organize. Vote. And never give in.
You will win.
Yes, the Lexington response to gun seizure in 1775 was a gross over reaction.
“You will win.”
I am not convinced of this, but neither am I convinced that decent people will lose. I am certain that we have to fight far harder and take the fight to all areas of our society.

The petty tyrants are decades ahead of decent people in their subversion of the media, entertainment, schools, the judiciary, and other levers of power. We need our own counterinsurgency to take back our institutions. We need to become teachers. We need to become journalists. We need to teach children to shoot. We need to get involved in local politics and run for office, including the school board. We need to address every aspect of the globalist/collectivist agenda with our own children and with other people’s children. If not, these disgusting losers who murder their own unborn children will steal the next generation from us - and they could win.
That’s actually NOT his point. He would say that is at the end game, not where VA is now. The British attempt to seize arms there was preceded by numerous other acts.
He writes about how an insurgency takes resistance action to provoke the State to overreach and over react. Then you get to the end game, and the State has acted in a way to incite a broad swath of the population.
He writes good fiction. If you read his book Indian Country, you will see his ‘stay calm and resist’ plan for a resistance insurgency go live/hot, in a fictional town in southern Indiana.
REM: I have read all his books. AND posting from mobile before coffee.enjoy your day.
Most Courts are corrupt when it comes to Guns and most Judges defer to banning than promoting gun rights...
“Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God”
“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to obtain or preserve their liberty deserve the tyrants that rule them”
We should be running a recall against the governor, and against each democrat from a district where they won by less than 5% and have voted for these bills.
Currently, we only need 10% of the total vote for a recall petition — the democrats are trying to change that to 25%, so we should do the recall now.
I was hoping I’d hear that the rally had recall petitions and all the attendees were signing, but I did not see anything about that.
