'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard for police who fail to enforce gun control legislation
Washington Examiner ^ | 11 December 2019 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 12/12/2019 3:44:33 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

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.

Those in other states can assist by blocking that support from getting into Virginia.

Count the number of suppressed rifles in this picture:

Exactly. We have immigration laws, and Democrats have done everything possible to defy the laws. If Republicans threatened to use the military to arrest state officials who disobey the law, there would be national outcry. There should be the same on this, national outcry about Democrats wanting to bring about martial law in Virginia, which this is

How will these Leftist Democrats get the felons, who voted for that Democrat majority, to comply with these laws to disarm Virginians?

Dick Saslaw (D), VA State Senator, District 35

Saslaw introduced SB16, an unconstitutional measure that would create a total ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, like the AR-15. Even worse, the ban would even extend to common firearm parts. The restrictions included in the proposed legislation does not grandfather current owners. The legislation is clearly designed to be firearms confiscation, as current owners would be forced to dispossess themselves of their property or face a felony conviction.

A bit broad-brushed in your statement, aren't you?

No different than when FReepers pontificate about NYers.

Actually, SCOTUS says police don’t have a duty to protect in the sense that they can be held accountable for an instance where they didn’t do so. Knife cuts both ways, bitches.

Voting them out, legitimately, seems to set them off more than the fear of death or conviction. I mean, Tom Daschole had a mental break down (confirmed) as well as therapy for Eric Cantor. They just cant imagine being voted against once they get in power. It crushes them forever....which is the worse case scenario to a politician.

I suggest the southern and western counties secede from the beltway counties and either form south Virginia or join up with West Virginia

What makes you think West Virginians want that?
