Democrat Controlled Virginia ‘Working’ On Confiscating Guns From Law Abiding Citizens, Governor Says

Far-left Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam announced this week that he will aggressively work to implement extreme anti-gun laws in the state now that Democrats control the state, including confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens.

During a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Northam “mentioned universal background checks, banning the sale of [semi-automatic firearms] and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others,” The Washington Post reported.

“We will at least start with those,” Northam said.

When asked about confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens, Northam responded “that’s something I’m working [on] with our secretary of public safety,” adding that he will work with anti-gun activists on the issue.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that during the recent election, Democrat candidates were silent on whether they supported Northam’s extreme gun confiscation plan. The Free Beacon reports:

Gun confiscation and other gun control measures have been part of Northam’s agenda, but took on increased importance after a picture of two men, one in blackface and the other in KKK robes, was uncovered on Northam’s page in a medical school yearbook. In his first major public appearance after the scandal broke, Northam called for a special session of the legislature in order to reconsider his gun control package, following the recent strategy used by prominent liberals of pivoting to gun control after brushes with controversy.

Democrats have a strong incentive, in the form of millions in dark money, to implement new gun control laws. In each of the last three election cycles, Everytown for Gun Safety—backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg—and other gun control groups have spent

Nobody complied in rural CT.

Time to start burying your hardware.

Thanks; we'll be bolting across the line to NC in 2021, when my wife retires. It actually works out pretty well, giving us time to start the downsizing process and doing the necessary upgrades to prep the home for sale.

It will be. And the reaction of the Virginia gun owners as a group. They will have to shit or get off the pot. Because, if the Democrat's action matches their words, they will come after the guns. The only question that begs to be answered is where and when do they begin. Do they go after the ARs first? When do they go after the pistols, other rifles, and shotguns.
Knowing how the Democrat Party operates operates, I can't see them piddling away this opportunity/ To illustrate: When they regained control of the House and Senate, they inflicted obamacare upon us. When they again regained control of the House, they instituted impeachment proceedings against President Trump. The members of the Democrat Party are not children having fun or harmless idiots. They are dangerous and evil individuals. They are a very serious threat to the existence of the Republic. Take them lightly at your peril.

re: “Here is a forum with the details of the story:”

Yeah ... I see in that OP someone called and talked with Alex Jones to “confirm” -insert eye-roll graphic here- ...

[DarthVader]

Go read the MADMIN link DH!

[_Jim]

I’M SURE there is a reasonable, rational reason for all this, BUT, it’s NOT going to come from Alex “Pinhead conspiratorialist” Jones.

Sic Semper Tyrannis

Unfortunately, "Amamus tyrannis" (We Love Tyrants) would be a more fitting motto for New Virginia.

Racist Ralph wants to grab the guns from the VA blacks so’s they’re easier to control...

[ScottinVA]

It will be interesting to see how Hampton Rhodes reacts. N.VA, and Richmond are too far gone.

Depends on which regions.. Virginia Beach, Gloucester, parts of James City County, Poquoson, Yorktown and Chesapeake will not be as obedient as the liberal cities of Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News and Portsmouth.

No AH I’ve worked with the Corps and know many in the Corps. This order is unprecedented and is to deal with domestic enemies. Read the whole thread before you engage in a knee jerk IQ of 70 fashion.

Here, ‘more-on’, let me REPEAT it:

[cowboyusa]

How liberal is norfolk.

[DarthVader]

Listen DH and BJB this has nothing to do with Alex Jones;

Read this 10,000 times and think what this says.

“I’ve worked with the Corps and know many in the Corps. This order is unprecedented and is to deal with domestic enemies.”

That means I got confirmation through mouths of those who know.

For a scientific guy you are a stupid CS!

[_Jim]
