Sponsor of Virginia ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Tells Anti-Gun Control Prosecutors: Quit ‘Tough Guy Posturing’
Breitbart ^

Posted on 05/31/2026 4:41:34 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

Virginia state Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim (D) is telling prosecutors who say they will not enforce his “assault weapons” ban to quit “tough guy posturing.”

On May 27, 2026, Breitbart News noted that at least three prosecutors in Virginia made clear they would not enforce the ban. By the next day, May 28, the number of prosecutors refusing to enforce the ban was at five, according to WTVR.

On May 29, 2026, Sen. Salim used an X post to address prosecutors who are standing against his ban, saying, “I know these Republican prosecutors see this as an opportunity for tough guy posturing and amateur constitutional lawyering, but ending the sale of assault weapons in Virginia isn’t something an individual prosecutor can do anything about.”

Americans should not obey ANY law sponsored or passed by something named “Saddam Azlan Salim (D)”.

ESPECIALLY Virginians.

funny how the D’s who would just as soon shoot the R’s don’t want the R’s to get guns.
It’s early in the day, and a Sunday, but Salim needs to ph-cough.

Modern day gun control disproportionately affects mostly Republican leanimg contituencies and Democrats know it. Democrats want Republicans disarmed for a Night of the Broken Glass type event.

This greasy meatball "Saddam" doesn't look to be of European stock.

You are correct:

The only way to stop this nonsense is for the US attorneys to start charging these scum with conspiracy to violate civil rights.

Bingo

These POS’s come here, “somehow“ get themselves elected, and then get it in their head that they can suddenly tell native-born American citizens what we can and can’t do, can and can’t own, can and can’t say…

F them, all.

Stand up now or crawl later.

ending the sale of assault weapons in Virginia isn’t something an individual prosecutor can do anything about

The USSC has to take this on and end it, once and for all.
