Governor's plan to ban guns blows up in own face 'A blatant constitutional infringement on the rights of law-abiding' citizens

Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's efforts to enact a sweeping gun-control agenda have been placed on hold by courts in June, while the state Legislature pushed back the effective date of another law.

Since Thursday, judges in Lancaster County and Washington County issued preliminary injunctions preventing enforcement of a ban on modern semiautomatic firearms, while Spanberger had to request that the state Legislature delay the effective date of a ban on carrying such firearms. The National Rifle Association trumpeted their legal success in a Monday evening post on X.

"The NRA's world-class legal team delivered a clear, powerful argument demonstrating that Abigail Spanberger's gun ban is a blatant constitutional infringement on the rights of law-abiding Virginians," NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford said in a statement released by the gun-rights group.

One of many ungrateful 'hateriots' spewing noxious garbage.

Happy 4th to actual patriots who love this country and are thankful to be here.

The CIA owns Northern Virginia, and thus, controls the state.

Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. (Thomas Jefferson).

The first things Democrats do when they acquire power is to deprive you of means of self-defense while releasing violent thugs onto the street.

They want the thugs to kill or cowe their political opposition.

How much clearer does this have to be?

Abigail Spanberger is one of those vile reprobates who tries to hide who they are during the election process and then is revealed to be a monster once they get into office. Appears to be the new model they are using.

Watching this kind rise up to power will provide clues about the future:

Anti-Christ obtains the Kingdom through ‘flatteries’ meaning he is elected to his position in some manner.

“And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.” - Daniel 11:21

Only later is the truth revealed:

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; . .” - 2 Thessalonians 2:3

So they are conducting a little ‘taquia’ (SP) on their constituents then. What mooselimbs are instructed to do to calm the fears of non mooselimbs.

How about putting criminals behind their rightful walls a.k.a. prison and making law abiding less in need to fight for their homes? That’s the government’s job!

It’s clear enough to me that they are all talk when it comes to caring about the poor whom the criminals will most likely target.

How do we get the poor to understand that?

It’s worse, merely using them as agents of chaos is enough for their purposes, there is a cabal sitting above them and also above the Marxists Communists that own the roadmap.

Jesus let us in on the secret that Satan’s kingdom is not divided, otherwise many would suppose that it is looking from the outside.

I don’t get it because I’m a lower middle class degree earner who has the means to take a look at the library or even in the palm of my hand to know that the majority of people who get burgularized or mugged are poor.

Let see, “abolish police,” “take away firearms.”

I’m sensing a trend . . .

The rats will try to use the Virginia model which was their practice for decades. Run as a “common sense fair minded moderate”, once elected take the mask off and go hard left knowing MSM will cover over the betrayal.
