[Ransomed]

Is there an example of 2nd amendment sanctuary county/municipality laws working anywhere?

Freegards

“Where’s my popcorn? Watching the Democrats enforce this bullsh*t ought to be entertaining!“

It’ll be Americans killing other Americans. It won’t be entertaining at all. The left is mad, I think they actually want this fight.

[shalom aleichem]

Do they think the 2nd Amendment does not apply to them?

Where are the lawsuits?

“Lots of boating accidents coming.”

Lots of ‘Shoveling and Shutting UP,’ I’ll bet, too. ;)

[MacNaughton]

2 ... Let the Democrat garbage counties of NOVA try to impose their will on the rest of the state. ...

Fairfax County, Virginia, US

Oh why did that sh*thole DC have to be touching our state?

Ironically, because Jefferson wanted it. Washington put the Nation's Capitol at Foggy Bottom in order to persuade Jefferson to go along with Hamilton's vision of a central federal bank.

Yep - My Virginia has changed a LOT. Bums, welfare, sirens, LGBT crap in the schools... Democrats feed off sickness, sadness, misery, and blame. (Listen to NPR some day!)

[The Great RJ]

Passing the bill is one thing...enforcing it is another. Already most of the county sheriff’s have said no to enforcing these laws and I am certain many municipal police
departments will do the same. The Governor may have to establish his own force of brown shirt gun grabbers

[golux]

The bill makes it a Class 6 felony to import, sell, transfer, manufacture, purchase, possess, or transport large-capacity firearm magazines, silencers, and trigger activators, all defined in the bill. Any person who legally owns an assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator on July 1, 2020, may retain possession until January 1, 2021. During that time, such person shall (i) render the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator inoperable; (ii) remove the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator from the Commonwealth; (iii) transfer the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator to a person outside the Commonwealth who is not prohibited from possessing it; or (iv) surrender the assault firearm, large-capacity firearm magazine, silencer, or trigger activator to a state or local law-enforcement agency.

Correct! The protests, as expected, were ignored. Time to go underground and plan responses to actions. The bright side is that it will take a while from enactment to enforcement. Understand and accept that the people in power intend to kill you and are playing for keeps and plan accordingly.

Yeah it’s sickening :’-(

[marktwain]

This has only passed the House, and by a narrow margin, 51 - 48. The House is 55 - 45 Democrat.

I doubt it will pass the Senate, which has a very narrow margin, 21 -19 Democrat.

FBI: More people killed with knives, hammers, clubs and even feet than rifles in 2018

[MeganC]

It’ll be a fight against domestic enemies of the Constitution.

There is only one side in such a fight that I care about.

[pabianice]

One reason I’m leaving MA for GA.

[marktwain]

Possession of silencers legally obtained before the bill passes, will not be illegal.

They will be grandfathered.

Not a big change, but whoever maintains the summary forgot to change it.
