Northam Threatens “Consequences” For 2A Sanctuary Counties, Sheriffs
Bearing Arms ^ | 12 Dec 2019 | Cam Edwards

Posted on 12/12/2019 4:30:08 PM PST by Rummyfan

While several of Virginia’s congresscritters are calling for Second Amendment Sanctuary counties in the state to be stripped of state funds or to have the National Guard brought in to enforce new gun control laws, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is instead offering veiled threats of “consequences” for sheriffs in Second Amendment Sanctuary counties unless they enforce whatever gun control bills he signs into law.

When asked by a reporter if local governments would face retaliation for declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, Northam responded, “There’s not going to be retaliation. That’s not what I’m about. I’m about making Virginia safer.”

Northam continued, “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”

Northam did not offer specifics on what the potential consequences would be.

That’s fine! They will all be ended fairly quickly, and if there is a second wave.... They will be ended quickly also.

“Northam continued, “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.””

He doesn’t see the irony of protecting the people from unconstitutional laws being deemed unconstitutional by himself....

I’m sure the governor has family too. And extended family. You can’t protect everyone.

Perhaps people should gather a bunch of red coats, shoot them, and dump them on the steps of the governor’s mansion? Or the locations of his family?
That would send a good message.

Is this not a quid pro quo? Do as I say or no money?

“ That’s what scares me. If he does find a group to act as enforcers, and they go around to start confiscating weapons, who will that be and what will their tactics be? Will they fire upon law abiding citizens?”

Well, there will be some. I’m old enough to remember the Branch Dividian Massacre and the Ruby Ridge execution. Clinton and Janet Reno (Attorney General) found enough FBI and ATF assassin’s to do their dirty work. But, it’s a different world than then. It won’t take very long for military and law enforcement to understand what’s going town. Not only will many refuse to act upon family, friends, work associates they may very well become their defenders. Not only are the military and LEO’s conservative, the elite combat units are very conservative. And, they tend to be members of families who’s fathers, grandfathers, uncles, have served. Confiscation ain’t gonna happen.
