"If this isn’t a call to arms, I don’t know what it is going to take,"

Seems the democrats (commies) Have decided to make their move now.. There seems to be slight a movement of black folk toward the republicans and it's scaring the heck out of them... Their "army" consist of the immigrates and blacks.. These are the folks they own and count on... They got them by the wallet, so to speak.. So they will rise for the democrats when the shooting starts.. I do really think that's what the "open borders" deal is all about.. :(

It does seem that the ball is now in our court. How much plainer they need to make it to us, I don’t know.

The powerlines to Richmond can be cut until such funding is restored. There are ways to give Richmond back the pain they are dishing back. Counties can defer construction on their part of critical county and state connecting roads.

I imagine in households in which voting has been split between the husbands and wives over “Trump” and Republicans the conversations must be heating up in Virginia. A hunting husband is going to be very mad at his squishy middle of the road wife who may not be fully liberal but wanted a woman delegate in just because even if the delegate was Democrat. It didn’t help that many delegate districts, about 25 or so had only one party represented....still we ended up 9 shy of the Democrats in the house of Delegates and 2 shy in the Senate. The voters in Va are passive and will only vote reactively when some of their sacred cows are touched. Guns are their sacred cows. Wrong move by the Dem politicians but it will be two years before we can vote to kick the suckers out. In the mean time I expect there will be multiple candidates for each delegate seat next time.

It all comes down to a single question: Who is going to volunteer to be the first person the breech the door?

I am sure there is an idiot out there who wants to be a hero.

Nothing’s going to happen. Virginia has 180,000 hunters, which outnumber all the LEOs and NG troops.


And I would think that there’s a lot of overlap between the LEO/NG and the hunters.

Do they really think that NG Corporal Billy Bob is going to go to his brother Bill Ray’s house and try to take his ‘huntin’ rifle?

“..“why Virginia?” Another is “why now?”...”

Probably because Soros and others who are making Governor Meatpuppet McBlackface dance want it so.

The dems probably have some rather large vote fraud schemes underway for 2020 throughout the States, and don’t want the probability of armed resistance.

Virginia is the test bed to see what they can get away with. If they can disarm on of the toughest states, they will try others as well.

They never do anything without telegraphing their intentions...and there’s always another reason behind what they do.

I understand the love of guns in Virginia quite well.

Part of the problem is that a lot of people other than true leftists either voted for Northam, or sat out the election. A lot of native Virginians felt more comfortable voting for a homeboy who attended a local military academy rather than a transplant from NJ. That may in part have been a reaction to MacAuliffe.

Well I doubt they will be sitting out the next one. I don’t know what the recall rules are but I’ll sign a petition if it comes my way.

So when is the deadline when the governor turns tens of thousands of law abiding citizens into criminals?

The people should demand, at every opportunity, to have a public discussion about the constitutionality of this law.

The lack of willingness to do so will tell everyone everything they need to know.

This is exactly what happened to MD in the first CW.

DC is nestled in its armpit and the state went under Federal control to protect DC.

Despite how MD felt about anything, it tactically crucial to the Union and therefore, fell under its control.

Pratt Street Massacre, martial law and the jailing of most of the MD legislature.

Western MD is red as hell.

That’s why they hate us.

Illinois has similar situation. State government controlled top to bottom by Chicago democrats (our NOVA) who are champing at the bit to pass rotten gun laws. However, and I hope it’s the same case in VA, there are a whole bunch of non-Chicago democrats who won’t go along.

“Leave the LEOs alone and go directly after the politicians.”

Precisely...as long as they don’t get in the way. I think in many, many cases they hate the politicians as much or more than we do and would either look the other way or join us!
