Virginia governor’s call for 18-person gun ban force comes under fire

Excerpt:

Virginia’s pop-up gun sanctuary movement has turned its attention to fighting the governor’s call for a $4.8 million, 18-officer team to enforce his proposed “assault weapons” ban.

Two key groups issued an alert this week to push gun owners to four budget hearings Thursday around the state, asking them to quiz state legislators if they will vote to ban or confiscate weapons.

I would assume that given the nature of the “problem”, these guys would load up with plate armor for the vitals. I would. But you are correct, in that cat IV and cat III armor (plate, ceramics, soft, etc.) will stop most everything, once, but when shot at or near the same impact point, again, no guarantees for surviving.

If this hits the fan, we will see armored vehicles come into play. Just like the Branch Dividian thing.

At that time, those politicians who are responsible for this will suffer.

I took a ride up to the Bundy thing just as that was ending. I think it was a Sunday or something. Anyway, the snipers were still there..on the hills all round about. The State trooper who was directing traffic on the side road I was on was really nervous-YET. I looked around and mentioned to him that he was in a very bad area being a crossfire area and all. He knew that it could have ended bad.
Later, a month or so, I talked to a couple officers down here and they told me that the whole GD thing was the cause of one Mr Love..remember him? They said the word was that if it would have exploded, that the state and local and county depts would have withdrawn and left him and his cohorts to their own devices.

Point is that these police officers want to retire peacefully and in good health. They dont like it when a Federal agent comes in and acts like Rambo. I guess Mr Love was escorted out of state and told to never return, EVER.

According to The Christian Science Monitor “Just over half of the respondents in the survey believe semi-automatic weapons should be banned. These semi-automatic weapons have long had a bad reputation, so it’s no surprise Millennials are carrying this thought forward.”

They foolishly believe the government will be able to keep thousands of guns from flooding across the borders after gun confiscation.

They assume back up would come. Local LEO’s are probably not going to back up these goons who are shooting and killing their neighbors if they have walking around sense.

This doesn’t add up, an 18 person team assuming 4% resistance would be like the first wave at Tarawa Beach. They have to sleep and they have to live some where.

Any bets on how many blocks they get before they need to call for backup?

Patriots in Virginia need to march on Richmond and take it back from the Stalinists. Enough is enough.

Who’d be stupid enough to take one of those jobs?
They better have REALLY GOOD life insurance!!!


Insurance and a bullet proof vest will be needed. I may vacation on VA to get into a piece of the action. Take my camper from one sanctuary county to another.

One good literary reference deserves another: Total Resistance: Swiss Army Guide to Guerrilla Warfare and Underground Operations free download

My take away from the manual: No enemy collaborators or supporters can be allowed to live in your area of operation.

Thanks, I need to borrow that and use it in another related article.

That’s Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi’s goal. Grab power and screw the country.

One of our best friends in NORVA at that time (he was the spitting image of Lou Dobbs & even last name rhymes) as a native Virginian would be rolling over in his grave. Why do we allow outsiders to change our country and give themselves power?

The best bet would be for someone to doxx these 18. Make sure their pictures are out there, making it much harder for them to carry out their schemes.

Any chance the District of Columbia can be expanded to include Fairfax County?
