'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution, National Guard deployment if police don't enforce gun control
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 11, 2019 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 12/12/2019 10:45:37 AM PST by 2banana

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.

"Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here." -- Captain John Parker

They marxist are just itching to enforce their new gun control laws and crush anyone who stands up to them.

And they really think the National Guard will do their dirty work.

Gov. Blackface needs a Gestapo.
I don’t think either the State Police or the National Guard want to be the Gestapo.

The Democrats are willing to send the National Guard against fellow Americans? Will the National Guard follow orders to shoot unarmed resisters?

So of course, this unconstitutional power grab will go straight to the courts.

As a Guardsman myself, I’ll be interested in how this turns out. No Guard Soldiers that I know are stupid enough to go on any kind of weapons confiscation suicide mission.

And in less than a month they want to deploy the storm troopers.

Or any other law that the progressives don't like.

Isn't the National Guard under the ultimate command of the POTUS. If the Virginia governor called up the Virginia National Guard, couldn't President Trump order them to stand down?

The Law is the Law. It’s my understanding that the Constitution overrides mere Democrat opinion. Do blue-suited thugs who have sworn allegiance to the Governor have to find that out with bullets?

They’ll
Only get a lot of police or guardsmen shot dead by American citizens defending themselves. But the D- commies don’t give a damn. They hate police as much or more as they hate Americans generally. Be prepared !!

There are no sanctuary cities. That is not what the article is about.

That does not mean there are not local PDs who could decide not to follow a anti gun law the Lege might pass
which is what the link was about, not sanctuary cities.
This is a Dem threatening police depts. with something that has not even been passed
let alone there ae NO PDs who have said they won’t comply.
This is Dems threatening over nothing
