Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam will have much to apologize for if he signs into law a bill that attacks Virginia citizens' Second Amendment rights. The measure is Senate Bill 16, which would ban "assault" firearms and certain firearm magazines.
Since Democrats have seized control of Virginia's General Assembly in the last election, they are likely to push hard for strict gun control laws.
Those laws will have zero impact on Virginia's criminals and a heavy impact on Virginia's law-abiding citizens who own, or intend to own, semi-automatic weapons for hunting or their protection. As a friend once explained to me, "I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop."
I am proud of my fellow Virginians' response to the attack on their Second Amendment rights.
Firearm owners in the state have joined with sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties. That means local authorities will be required to protect Second Amendment rights in the face of any attempt by Virginia's General Assembly to abrogate those rights.
Eighty-six counties – over 90 percent – in the Virginia commonwealth have adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions. Spotsylvania County's board of supervisors voted unanimously to approve a resolution declaring that county police will not enforce state-level gun laws that violate Second Amendment rights.
However, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring said such resolutions can’t overturn state laws.
"It is my opinion that these resolutions have no legal effect," Herring said in a letter issued Friday. "It is my further opinion that localities and local constitutional officers cannot nullify state laws and must comply with gun violence prevention measures that the General Assembly may enact."
Page County Sheriff Chad Cubbage said: "Be it be known that the Page sheriff hereby declares Page County, Virginia, as a 'Second Amendment Sanctuary,' and that

They are afraid of us and we should show them and keep it that way
They can’t take away gun rights. They can only take away GUNS. By threatening you with GUNS.
There should be an air drop of 45ACP Liberator pistols.

Coon man going after guns like his Klan forbears went after Civil Rights.
VA has joined the forces of tyranny, no more sic semper tyrannis.
Republicans in VA caused a lot of this mess by sticking so long with John Warner and then not showing up to vote in critical general elections. Thy have been overpowered by the mob.
From what I suspect in most libtarded states,it only takes a few elections and a few counties to turn a state into a political sh*thole as Virginia has now become.
Yep, there were (and still are) a lot of RINOs in Virginia. They rejected Ollie North, Mark Earley, Ken Cuccinelli and several other great conservatives and allowed the demoKKKrats to install the lowest of the low into state and federal offices in the Old Dominion.
The dc lawmakers are afraid of nearby patriots that could put their treason down.
“”It is my opinion that these resolutions have no legal effect,” Herring said”
Oh cool. Then just order the locals to go pick them up. Should be easy.
Herring should be pickled.
That’s because of two things. As the occupation government in DC has centralized massive amounts of power, the courtiers have moved into the area.
And two, in 1970, one out of 100 in Virginia were foreign born. Now it is 1 in 9. This is a result of the ammassing of power in DC and it being the seat of globalism.
Virginia is lost. All we can do now it pray for that landslide in the Canary islands to create that 200 Tsunami, and god will flush the toilet.
