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 thats something Im 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 Northams extreme gun confiscation plan. The Free Beacon reports:
Gun confiscation and other gun control measures have been part of Northams agenda, but took on increased importance after a picture of two men, one in blackface and the other in KKK robes, was uncovered on Northams 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 Safetybacked by billionaire Michael Bloombergand other gun control groups have spent

I also worked with the Corps for several years at SYSCOM and can affirm this as not ordinary for Marine deployments.
I agree; everything south and west of Northern Virginia and west of Richmond and Tidewater should join either West Virginia or Tennessee. I am serious; don’t know how this could be done, legally, but the real Virginians have very little in common with what are in reality, the Washington suburbs.
Exhibit A of what happened to the “Republican” party in Virginia. John Warner, former “Republican” senator, who got elected bc the real Republican nominee, Dick Obenshain was killed in an airplane accident and Warner relied on his wife Elizabeth Taylor’s money and fame to get elected - Richard Nixon was quoted on the tapes as saying about some nominee for Secretary of the Navy “any a****** could do it, we even had John Warner doing it”. John Warner not only endorsed the odious Dem Mark Warner for the Senate, he actually made a commercial for him. this was after he and the state AG, Marshal Coleman, undercut the senate campaign of Oliver North, who then narrowly lost to LBJ’s son in law.
best thing that could happen- now the rest of the country gets to see what the rats intend to do..
In my daughters district, the only choices on the entire ballot were stark raving moonbats.
...got one even better....
Molon labe, meaning “come and take [them]”, is a classical expression of defiance. According to Plutarch, Xerxes Iking of the Achaemenid Empiredemanded that the Spartans surrender their weapons and King Leonidas I responded with this phrase. It is an example of a laconic phrase.
Here in Texas, one sees this phrase quite often on trucks, cars, etc.... and we mean it....!!!
Day after the election and dims are drunk with power. Anyone thinks elections don’t have consequences, take a look.
Virginia would become a statewide example of what Chicago continues to be.
Some people just have to run through the fire to find out that their a$$ can be severely burned.
So far all the demonrats running rabid barking moonbats.
Good to know there will be resistance in some localities to this tyrant. God bless you for having to live in what has become the California of the Southeast.
I didn’t know the history, but I never liked Warner.
I can commiserate with that, it sounds like regular Virginians are wimps and easily led. I don’t believe that.
LOOKING AHEAD, THOUGH, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF PRESIDENT TRUMP SAW THE R PARTY IN VA AS CRITICALLY WOUNDED AND TRIED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
There must be some Kellyann Conways and Brad Parscales who
could resuscitate the dying patient even if they had to relocate to do it.
Do what the Tar Heels around the Charlotte area do - move to South Carolina - Rock Hill, Fort Mill (York County), Indian Land, etc (Lancaster County.
There is a massive exodous from the northeast and elsewhere to this area. My concern is that those fleeing the blue states they helped create are bringing their leftist politics with them
My family and I moved to South Carolina from Virginia when I retired. I'm a native Virginian.
Life is great in the Palmetto State!
exactly.
The VA Republicans should have cut off Northern VA when they had a chance, and made it a separate state - it has nothing in common with the rest of the state.
They should have seen this coming. But no, they just watched the cancer grow until the Marxist carpetbaggers from the north have taken control.
We might as well merge with Maryland or NJ now........
I can’t move - 7 of our 8 kids and their children are too well established in their careers and can’t move.......
Virginia is for tyrants!

It will be interesting to see how Hampton Rhodes reacts. N.VA, and Richmond are too far gone.
It would serve the nonvoters right to lose their gun rights.
The funny thing about that is the Dim Gov. Northam recently started giving voting rights back to felons.
You are correct. They think the state ends in Roanoke anyway.
The ATTACK on the citizens of the republic continues...
Enemies domestic.
