President Donald Trump has sent a clear message to lawmakers in the Democrat-controlled state of Virginia, warning that he will not allow them to undermine the Second Amendment rights of American citizens while he's in office.Speaking during an interview with Fox News Wednesday, President Trump warned Democrats that a gun grab "will never happen as long as I’m here."

Let’s eliminate the Democrats first, then we can deal with the RINOs.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Brother you speak the truth! We have never had a better Potus.!

Let’s eliminate the Democrats first, then we can deal with the RINOs.

Ah, no. No voting for RINOs - EVAH.

[dfwgator]

Fighting a Two-Front War is never a good idea.

[central_va]

When will you RINOs figure that out?

[Dead Corpse]

It bans new sales of assault rifles, large magazines, bump stocks and the like.

Which is a ban you moron. An infringement.

[DoodleDawg]

Which is a ban you moron. An infringement.

[Maris Crane]

What you said, mdmathis6, can happen AND

HE CAN SUPPORT LAW SUITS THAT ARE BROUGHT BY PATRIOTS, UP TO THE SUPREME COURT, WHICH HAPPENS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE RIGHT NOW.

Virginia has an active child sex offender as a state senator. Mr. Joe Morrissey

doubt this look him up.

[txnativegop]

is it the entire Section 242 or just part of it?

[txnativegop]

all those gun laws previous.y held as Constitutional were reversed with the Caetano v Massachusetts ruling.

[txnativegop]

so you would condemn the people of Virginia to a tyrant because the GOP’s candidates don’t all pass your smell test?

That is exactly why virginia is in this predicament now.

swallow your pride and do what is best for virginia and the US.

[DoodleDawg]

You’re aware that Caetano v Massachusetts applied to stun guns, right?

[Dead Corpse]

And Miller, and Nunn, and Rock Island Armory, and...

Now go back and re-read Elliot’s Debates on the 1st and 2nd Congress and then come back and tell me what kind of rope the Founders who wrote the 2A would be using to hang Northam with...

[central_va]

I can say the same thing about the RINOs.

[Dead Corpse]

Here's the full text of the section:

TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242

Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnaping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

It also said that firearms not known to Founders are protected under the 2A by citing Heller


SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES JAIME CAETANO v. MASSACHUSETTS ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT OF MASSACHUSETTS   No. 14–10078.Decided March 21, 2016   PER CURIAM. The Court has held that “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding,” District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570, 582 (2008), and that this “Second Amendment right is fully applicable to the States,” McDonald v.Chicago, 561 U. S. 742, 750 (2010). In this case, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts upheld a Massachusetts law prohibiting the possession of stun guns after examining “whether a stun gun is the type of weapon contemplated by Congress in 1789 as being protected by the Second Amendment.” 470 Mass. 774, 777, 26 N. E. 3d 688, 691 (2015). The court offered three explanations to support its holding that the Second Amendment does not extend to stun guns. First, the court explained that stun guns are not protected because they “were not in common use at the time of the Second Amendment’s enactment.” Id., at 781, 26 N. E. 3d, at 693. This is inconsistent with Heller’s clear statement that the Second Amendment “extends . . . to . . . arms . . . that were not in existence at the time of the founding.” 554 U. S., at 582. The court next asked whether stun guns are “dangerous per se at common law and unusual,” 470 Mass., at 781, 26 N. E. 3d, at 694, in an attempt to apply one “important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms,” Heller, 554 U. S., at 627; see ibid. (referring to “the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of ‘dangerous and unusual weapons’ ”). In so doing, the court concluded that stun guns are “unusual” because they are “a thoroughly modern invention.” 470 Mass., at 781, 26 N. E. 3d, at 693–694. By equating “unusual” with “in common use at the time of the Second Amendment’s enactment,” the court’s second explanation is the same as the first; it is inconsistent with Heller for the same reason. Finally, the court used “a contemporary lens” and found “nothing in the record to suggest that [stun guns] are readily adaptable to use in the military.” 470 Mass., at 781, 26 N. E. 3d, at 694. But Heller rejected the proposition “that only those weapons useful in warfare are protected.” 554 U. S., at 624–625.

By now the GOP should have learned what type of candidate the American people want. If they can't run candidates that are America first, like Trump, then it's on them.

THE GOP IS NOT LEARNING!!!
