What a boat load of $hit!!!!

I have kin down there, and they damn well never voted for the rats. Look at voting maps that have been posted. VA is like the country, large metro districts with huge populations control the state like Kalifornica, the northeast and other large rat areas control our whole country. The VA voting map looks just like our national map where rat holdouts control the country.

Do me a favor, place one index finger in each ear and pull, pull hard. When you hear that loud popping sound, see day light and smell fresh air you will be able to think a little straighter.

...some thing effective actually happens...
___________________________________________
Looks to me like people are waking up.

The sheriffs in VA are responding effectively.

These progs in VA (and elsewhere) don’t even take office for 2 1/2 weeks, yet they have gone public (some intel was leaked) with threats and are strutting around proclaiming their tactics, saying “whatcha gonna do about it, huh?”

So far, the responses are effective. Because no laws are yet passed and no actions are yet taken, only the citizens’ proactive response is viable at the moment.

This intent to sow chaos and go to war against law-abiding citizens is appropriately being countered by the same citizens. The Federal response (by POTUS, et al) must not be premature. They know it is a trap.

Most effective response at the moment is ‘We will not comply and here is one of our counter moves’. Recalls are being organized and there is no doubt the court cases are prepared and simply waiting for 1/20/20 and the 1st overt legislation in VA (likely other prog venues).

1st rule of effective action against gun grabbers is to not allow them to grab.

What is the reasoning behind that?

The suburbs still elect their own senators don’t they?

Your list of what preceded the Revolutionary War fascinates me since I now recall I learned of all those events while I was in the FIFTH GRADE! Granted, it was sixty years ago but we were taught not only about the Founding Fathers but even the different uniforms worn by both sides.

At that age I wanted a musket so bad I could taste it. Had to wait for the Bicentennial before I could buy my own.

Anyway - the revolution starts when the government does something really stupid and shots are fired. But look at the states with mandatory registration and high noncompliance: has any governor yet declared war and sent out his flying monkeys to kick in doors?

Will people get snitched on, SWATed or Red Flagged whenever the gov says let the games begin? Will the VA state police motto be changed to “let them hate us as long as they fear us”?

Gov. Northam is one brick shy a load, IMO. He will ignore those who say, “don’t do this, boss”. Uncertain times ahead.

The Rats will control both the Senate and the House of delegates in January. The premise is that low density zoning is racist.

I remember the Muskets.

I.m so old that when I was in the 5th grade buying a musket was as easy as walking into the nearest gunsmith shop and forking over $9.50.

I grew up in Appomattox. Looking at this map, I wonder how in the world is the legislature democrat? Yeah, I hear republicans don’t vote.

Here in Ohio we have our problems too. It sometimes takes a good ballot measure to get republicans to the polls. It sickens me. On the U.S. Senate we have the useless Sherrod Brown because republicans don’t vote. Of course Rob Portman is no picnic on the republican side - more of John Kasich rino.

Only whites are permitted to live in the suburbs. Everybody knows that!

/S

If you want to live in the suburbs, practice a little delayed gratification. Save money for a down payment and buy a house in the suburbs

It’s not complicated or racist to save money.

I don’t live in Virginia, but I support the undisputed right to bare arms. Virginians are by proxy taking a stand for all patriots across America. Perhaps this was all meant to be.

There is no registration in Virginia, they have no idea who has what.

How many years have the gun owners of the communist states been waiting for the Supreme Court to free them?
They have refused to take the cases.

If the Virginia courts uphold the Virginia Constitution, this will be dealt with in state courts, but courts often get it wrong.

Honestly I thought that for many years too. And after some research I found it was actually closer to about 7-8%. But even then your point is still there and absolutely valid. :)

But we still know that a mutual truce will be called for Super Bowl Sunday... lol

No we didn't vote for this. 0 admin flooded this area with immigrants, refugees (by the busload), and a large # of H1s managed to stay here.....this was by design and the voters had no say in the matter.

https://www.wmra.org/topic/refugees-virginia

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/22/opinion/sunday/the-refugees-of-roanoke.html

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/20/politics/refugee-resettlement/index.html

Church World Service first paused its placement program in Richmond last November before deciding to close it entirely at the end of this month, as they had similarly done with an office in New York.

"All the while we were waiting and hoping that the refugee program would return to its more historic and compassionate level," said Roisin Ford, a regional director at Church World Service. "It didn't happen and it still hasn't happened."

Last year, the administration set a refugee cap of 30,000, the lowest level since 1980, and significant shift away from the increasingly high caps placed under former President Barack Obama. In the last few years of Obama's presidency, the administration raised the refugee ceiling from 85,000 in fiscal year 2016 to 110,000 in fiscal year 2017 amid the Syrian crisis

This ^^^ is what Virginians are up against. Many of these were dumped in "red" areas......combined with the expansion of fedgov we got screwed.

“Buy more guns. Now.”

Just stepped outside to enjoy the fine weather here in Virginia.
The boys and girls are playing with their new toys. I’m surrounded by the sound of semiautomatic weapons being broken in.
My fellow Virginians won’t be turning in their new (or old) firearms.

Yes courts often get it wrong but as this is a Constitutional issue I believe in time this will be heard by the USSC and the issue will be solved at least for sometime into the future.
