While several of Virginia’s congresscritters are calling for Second Amendment Sanctuary counties in the state to be stripped of state funds or to have the National Guard brought in to enforce new gun control laws, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is instead offering veiled threats of “consequences” for sheriffs in Second Amendment Sanctuary counties unless they enforce whatever gun control bills he signs into law.
When asked by a reporter if local governments would face retaliation for declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, Northam responded, “There’s not going to be retaliation. That’s not what I’m about. I’m about making Virginia safer.”
Northam continued, “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”
Northam did not offer specifics on what the potential consequences would be.

I've read where some sheriffs are just going to deputize virtually entire counties. What will Northam do then?
Shall not be infringed.
2nd Amendment rights trump all state and local laws. Right? This guy is a p.o.s.
Looks like John Mark may be right, Virginia could indeed become the initial battleground for the 2nd Civil War.
I hope the VANG refuses his “orders”, en masse.
Northam can’t surround himself with enough goons to protect him now?
The Guv needs to consider that he’s probably going to be ordering the Virginia National Guard in...to arrest themselves. Might not be the best tactic, but what the hell do I know?
There is a side of me that really would love to see this blithering Commie idiot go full King George III.
We have a large number of Anti Constitution Scumbags running amok that are in dire need of being removed from the equation. Maybe now is the time to thin the herd.
I’m not getting any younger, you know.
We will soon discover who the real Oath Keepers are and who just wants to be cannon fodder.
Sic Semper Tyrannis
Mebbe the consequences are forcing them to wear blackface.
“ Looks like John Mark may be right, Virginia could indeed become the initial battleground for the 2nd Civil War.“
It may not be necessary. I’m guessing that Virginia’s NG rank and file troops are conservative pro 2nd Amendment. Same with rank and file LEO’s. They ain’t gonna go round doing search and seizures on their neighbors, co-workers and relatives. Won’t happen....
Whites of their eyes

Following absurdity to it’s logical conclusion (sorry to mix absurdity with logic) . . .
Sorry.
Absurd logic ????
I just scrambled my own brain.
There are two Virginia’s.
Most of the interior is full of Deplorables with guns.
Good guns. And lots of ammo.
This governor, or any governor, is not going to be able to round them up.
Not unlike California.
Northam would do well to remember this.
Northam is sowing the wind...
Democrat losers always call for consequences for Conservatives, but immunity for themselves.
That is why there are 2A Sanctuaries.
They are as you say.
