'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard for police who fail to enforce gun control legislation

Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard.

After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law.

Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond.

See meme above.

Yeah, I really like the “deputize all comers” approach. States could do this too, deem all permit holders to be deputies is a start.

[IamConservative]

Do they not know how the National Guard works?

My neighbor is in the National Guard. If anything, I’m sure he will help me defend my 2A rights to self defense against anyone.

[Little Ray]

Great.
They want a civil war.

“How about prosecuting the ones who refuse to enforce immigration laws?”

Excellent point. I can’t believe where we are in this country now.

[Travis McGee]

They'll get tired of walking home. If they are allowed to walk home.

The full force of the US military could not subdue a couple thousand rag-tag Taliban armed with iron-sight AKs and Enfields in 18 years.

Do you think the VA SP and the VA NG will fare better against a million pissed off Virginians armed with 500+ yard scoped deer rifles?

[Chode]

UP!!!

If this comes to pass, do not fight the police or National Guard. Do not engage those sent to disarm you. Go directly to the homes of those that voted for these laws and show them what real resistance is all about. The people should not fight with the cannon fodder sent by the politicians....fight the politicians directly.

Good advice. The progs will be happy to run up the body count with their thug enforcers. The Marxist leaders need to pay a personal price.

[Travis McGee]

Bingo! Exactly!

[Travis McGee]

Yes indeed. Smoke them out, so to speak. Fight fire with fire against the originators of the firestorm, not the pawns.

If they are like all the other militias, they will have more FBI and FBI informants as members than regular citizens. In the political climate today, the mere word “militia” is poison. It attracts all kind of attention. It would be best to take a page from the Communists book and form cells of no more that ten individuals that can be combined to form larger groups as needed.

LEOs in urban centers will totally comply with confiscation

Hope they have their affairs in order. Just sayin'

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” ― Ayn Rand

[DCBryan1]

Walk home, maybe.

If they took the effort to suit up and infringe....they don't get to walk home. Pig fodder.

I like this one bestest.

"local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard."

Well, there you go... The only thing left is for the shooting to start.. It probably won't start at the bridge at Concord, but you can rest assured it WILL start somewhere.. And when it does it won't be easy to stop.. The lines are already drawn. Not physically, like on a map, but it the hearts and minds of the people.. Our nation is divided like never before.. There's a LOT of hate out there...

[SIDENET]

Let’s get this boogaloo tee’d up! There’s lampposts begging for hemp.

Hell yeah.

[DCBryan1]

There's a LOT of hate out there...

...and there are alot of trees in VA that need refreshing....

[liberalh8ter]

My thoughts, exactly.
