Attorney General Mark Herring released a statement after resolutions were passed by localities across Virginia declaring themselves exempt from new gun safety laws that the General Assembly may enact.

He said localities and local constitutional officers “cannot nullify state laws” and must follow gun violence prevention measures passed by the General Assembly.

OK, whatever.

They can if state law nullifies the Constitution.

Then it’s good to know illegal aliens are not protected in sanctuary cities too.

Every last democrap needs to be rounded up and tried for treason against the constitution. This kind of garbage has to stop. Enough is enough!

[DesertRhino]

Oh, cool. Then just go pick them up. I’ll just stand to the side and watch you*. Should be easy.

*try to notice how nobody is standing right behind you.

Virginia’s Democrats want to impose tyranny.

But apparently states can nullify the constitution :)

Because that’s what’s been going on forever with the 2nd amendment.

“Well the forefathers didn’t know there would be such powerful weapons created!!” is the argument.

And the forefathers would have said “well then the people MUST have access to those or they could not effectively fight tyranny!!”

Or as the little known Italian signer of the Declaration of Independence said “What the #$##’S the matter with you, that’s so self evident. Oh!!” :)

Blackface jr. say what?

We'll see how that works when local sheriff's and their deputies all band together to oppose state edicts. And if these sheriffs have deputized their populace, we're talking about a massive army.

State level civil war?

The Left needs to take a deep breath and back off, or it IS going to get ugly. Citizens take their Amendment protections seriously.

This is not a threat by me. I don't live there.

Reality is a bitch.

demoⁿcRats have no clue...

[Agatsu77]

Now try to enforce that.

States are powerless against this.

If the national guard is called out by the governor, Trump will nationalize them at once.

That will be the end of the unConstitutional threat.

If the confiscatory laws are passed in January and signed by the governor, there needs to be an immediate move to sue and file for an injunction while this is litigated. Otherwise, the crazies will move against Virginians who have been turned into instant felons.

States can’t nullify Amendments.
