“When the General Assembly passes it in the upcoming session, those laws are going to be enforced and they will be followed.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don’t bet on it, Red Herring.

New York tried this.

It’s not followed and it’s not enforced.

Oh, look at the town of Emporia. Bunch of leeches and faggots. The speed trap town than makes its budget off of travelers and cashing in on the entire trucking industry by making them pay to use I-95 for all oversized loads.

The trucking industry should boycott all deliveries and choke the town out.

Bitten by their own serpent? We have Democrat politicians sanctimoniously lecture us about “no one is above the law” while their “sanctuary” cities ignore federal immigration laws, protect criminal aliens, and allow their city streets to be littered with drug needles, filth and homeless tents… all while crowing about “saving” the “environment.” In reality... they have impeached themselves!

Do they think we don’t notice their brazen hypocrisy is exposed with every lying syllable their corrupt mouths utter?!

Yet… here Virginia Democrats threaten to declare WAR on their own citizens!

“ The VCDL is planning a large-scale “Lobby Day” on January 20 at the Richmond General Assembly building to protest proposed gun legislation and promote gun rights.”

I will be there and will have pics to post later.

Now more than ever, is the time to stop declaring a “2nd Amendment Right”. The 2nd Amendment is a restriction on the government; it doesn’t give anyone anything.

The argument should be that these laws infringe on our right to be safe, keep our family safe, and should the need arise; defend our Constitutional Republic from tyrants and/or invaders.

Thanks, Bro! I'm out of state and can't be there, but I'll be monitoring the news and trying to participate in keeping others informed also.

“(The sale or transfer of fully automatic assault rifles, commonly understood as machine guns, has been illegal in the U.S. since 1986.)”

I hate it when the author blows his credibility with false “Fact” references.
I’ve sold a fair number of NFA items into VA.

VA has a LOT of legal NFA, with the average price of a Machine Gun being well over $10,000 dollars, and many owners having “Invested” in several of them.
Who here thinks the owners of those investments are just going to turn them in?
I expect those owners might find it worthwhile to fund the lawsuits to overturn all new BS infringements.

Another speaker quoted Frederick Douglass, former slave and abolitionist writer and orator, who prescribed “a good revolver and a steady hand” in opposing the forces of tyranny and oppression.

Gun Control:

A steady hand....and a beady eye.

“Charlottesville activist Matthew Christensen warned the board against passing a 2A sanctuary resolution in strong, personal terms. “I cannot wait to sue every single councilor and supervisor in the state of Virginia when they decide not to uphold the law,””

Matthew Christiansen sure is full of himself.
I’m sure some of his neighbors will introduce him to a hemp necktie.
Won’t get the chance to sue.

Then the leftist liberal fool stated:

If gun control laws aren’t passed, I’m going to be there on the front lines helping to arm every marginalized individual to defend themselves, often probably from many of the people in this room.”
And that is what he should be doing. That is the very purpose of the Second Amendment you Marxist tool! How can a patriot understand this, yet this idiot cannot or will not even try to understand that is the very argument we have been making against any form of Gun control. Black people have had to defended themselves with Shotguns on porches against the Militaristic KKK Democrat for the past 150 years.

There is no reasoning with a socialist.
Historical truths, no matter how evident, can not make a dent in their ideology, which allows no rational thought.
That THE PEOPLE IN THAT ROOM were law abiding citizens who would have no problem with EVERY law abiding citizen owning an AR-15 is completely lost on the idiot. He ascribes his own motives on anyone who thinks other than himself. He knows that he would be leading the charge to load conservatives onto cattle cars so he therefore knows conservatives are going to load his kind onto cattle cars. That we haven’t done so yet doesn’t matter.
Calling him a tool is about the nicest thing we can say about him.
Bless his heart.

Most of the arguements about the Second Amendment made by both sides revolve around a single assumption - that the Second Amendment grants a citizen the right to bear arms. What both sides fail to understand is that the Second Amendment grants no such right, in fact, the Constitution grants no rights at all!

What the Constitution does do is identify what powers the people grant to the government. This is the whole purpose of the Constitution - to tell the goverment what it can and cannot do.

Read the Second Amendment closely, it doesn’t say the people have a right to bear arms but rather that the government can not infringe on that right. The same is true for most of the other amendments (the exception being the Sixth Amendment with establishes a right to a speedy trial).

Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against the government.
— Ayn Rand

Couldn’t agree more, which has been my point for a long time. People keep talking about this or that right, yet don’t focus on the idea enough that that first 10 amendments are actually restrictions....on the the government.

Any arguments that the government provides and/or confers rights; also creates the argument that the government can also infringe or take away rights.
