Second Amendment Sanctuary Cities For The Win
Townhall.com ^ | Decembember 26, 2019 | Kurt Schlichter

It’s glorious how the normal people of Virginia are rising up to reject Governor Blackface … or is it Governor KKK-klothes? He can’t seem to remember which one he was in the photo, meaning he had probably donned both creepy get-ups at some point. Yay, our Democrat betters! In any case, the people are telling him, “No, we’re not letting you goose-stepping Bloomberg bots take our guns,” and it is especially glorious that the means to make this righteous commitment is a new, and not garbage, sanctuary movement.

I’ve always been an advocate of playing by the left’s new rules, and this is a great opportunity to new rules the libs good and hard. We got your sanctuary right here, pinkos.

See, the left decided that Virginia, whose northern reaches are now full of government workers and other garbage people, needed to turn blue. With tons of lib donor money and the aid of a typically inept state GOP (I know those feel here in California), they managed to just barely grab control of both houses of the legislature. With Governor Byrd-Jolson in charge, they immediately promised to do away with the Second Amendment. They announced that they were going to confiscate the citizens’ scary guns and do all sorts of other things to show those disobedient, probably Jesus-loving rubes who was boss.

Except, as Chairman Mao – who you think these dorks would appreciate more – pointed out, power grows from the barrel of a gun, not out of a mean tweet.

Instantly, everyone outside the garbage counties locked and loaded their freedom and so the Second Amendment sanctuary movement began. County after county, and many cities, all committed to resisting if the state tried enforcing unconstitutional gun laws against normal citizens. And it was beautiful. The Dems wet themselves.

Remember, these normals won’t hurt anyone who doesn’t mess with them. They work, raise children, pray, and they keep guns for the defense of themselves, their families, their communities and their Constitution. They didn’t get the memo that said they were supposed to just roll over and become subjects instead of citizens.

After all, Virginians aren’t Canadians.

The Democrats freaked out, stunned that normal people responded to their diktats with middle fingers instead of abject submission. One lib threatened to turn the National Guard on the people of Virginia, which is a neat trick since the National Guard is made up of the people of Virginia. As a colonel who served for years in the National Guard (Remember the Rodney King riots? My time in them on the good guy’s side reaffirmed why I believe every able-bodied, healthy American adult should have a real assault rifle in his/her/xir house), I can safely say this would be a poor idea. Sure, some bootlickers might participate in such manifestly illegal warfare on free Americans, but most soldiers would – as is their obligation – refuse to commit such crimes. In fact, if Governor Duke Trudeau ever did consider the mass oppression of American citizens by military forces as his fellow Democrat threatened, the President should federalize the Virginia Guard and use it to restore a republican form of government in the state.

In any case, the Democrats have finally found a kind of sanctuary city they won’t goo goo over – one that protects the constitutional rights of American citizens instead of one that undermines and breaks the duly-enacted laws passed by the American people’s representatives for the benefit of foreigners who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

This kind of civil disobedience is absolutely justified in the face of manifestly unconstitutional threats to the Bill of Rights. The liberals think the Constitution is some sort of cafeteria, where they get to pick and chose the rights they will enforce – usually rights that aren’t even in the Constitution in the first place. But this only works if American citizens go along with it, and they are not going to.

As much fun as it is to humiliate their garbage governor, the people of Virginia are doing something more important. They are getting woke. This urban lib attack on regular folks – an attack totally unprovoked and being executed solely for the sheer lefty joy of making normal people bend to their will – has roused a sleeping giant. Many of those uncool people, most of whom don’t eat kale or have unusual pronouns, did not bother to vote in recent elections. Then they found that the Democrats were planning to send people with weapons to their homes to steal the tools that keep them safe and free.

The people got woke.

And the Second Amendment sanctuary movement is only the start. Next election, those people will be out and angry and armed with their ballots. The Dems have backtracked a bit, but it’s too late. They lit the fuse and it will blow up in their smug, goateed faces. As a Republican, it’s always amazing when you see that there’s another party whose leadership is dumber than the one at the helm of your party. For no good reason, simply because of cultural contempt and spite, the Democrats had to antagonize and awaken the somnolent normals of Virginia by posing an existential threat to them. It was so unnecessary – not one of the teachers, cops, insurance salesmen, farmers, housewives and such who mobbed the local meetings and forced local governments to mutiny against tyranny was ever going to hurt anyone with their guns except people who needed to be hurt. But no, the Dems couldn’t resist. They had to show those hicks who were in charge.

Well, we just found out who is really in charge.

I’m betting that the librats who’ve taken over Colorado will try this crap here starting in January. They just weren’t stupid enough to SAY they would until then.

Good article, but I wouldn’t declare victory just yet. The Democrats are going to get more “gun control.“ They always do, and the Supreme Court refuses to take most 2nd Amendment cases because they consider it a “disfavored right” per Justice Clarence Thomas.

Even though I don't live in Virginia, I say, "YAY!" to those who are standing up against a tyrannical state government.

I hope this results in those going back to decidedly red in the next election,

AND

if there is ever a need for truly, meaningful election reform to keep people like Bloomberg from buying elections the way he did, now is it.

Virginia can really twist the donkey ‘s tail by following up with anti-abortion sanctuaries and no illegals sanctuaries.

Then stand back and watch the Communists heads explode.

What part of ‘Hiding behind every blade of grass..’ do the libs not understand?
If the air fills with a little grapeshot, the ‘sunshine warrior’ leftists will suddenly decide this should be decided in the courts.

I still say there is a fundamental “law” at play that has yet to play out. When pot is on the ballot libtards win. When guns are on the ballot we win. So Colorado enjoyed an undeserved episode of “punching above their weight” in Colorado and that now they can’t use pot to motivate their base anymore there is gonna be a shift back to the right in Colorado. There has to be a base of original Coloradoans still remaining that aren’t recent sooner migrants.

When the libtards figure this out and realize to do what they want here in Virginia all they have to do is put pot on the ballot we could’ve be in trouble but so far they haven’t figured it out.

The sheriffs of these counties have pledged to protect their citizens. The sheriff of Culpeper County has pledged to deputize 1000 citizens to protect the 2nd Amendment.

92% of Virginia counties have declared themselves as 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries.

SP, can you expand on that please? Somehow I missed the memo.

Cheers, 'Pod

Absolutely. Here you go. I hope you had a nice Christmas.

Unless I misunderstood the article, Justice Thomas is saying the liberals in the Supreme Court are deep sixing them hearing it, not that he personally feels that way. He would like to rule on it but is outvoted.

A fifteen dollar/hour minimum wage constitutional amendment will be on the ballot in Florida in 2020 for Dem GOTV efforts.

” and the Supreme Court refuses to take most 2nd Amendment cases because they consider it a “disfavored right” per Justice Clarence Thomas.”

The SC hasn’t taken it up because until now they haven’t had the votes, they might not even now with RINO Roberts.

What a BS article! The people of Virginia had a chance to “rise up” against Blackface in November - instead they sat on their couch and didn’t go out to to vote. The people of Virginia got what they paid for.
