Democrat Controlled Virginia ‘Working’ On Confiscating Guns From Law Abiding Citizens, Governor Says
Daily Wire ^ | November 8, 2019 | Ryan Saavedra

Far-left Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam announced this week that he will aggressively work to implement extreme anti-gun laws in the state now that Democrats control the state, including confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens.

During a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Northam “mentioned universal background checks, banning the sale of [semi-automatic firearms] and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others,” The Washington Post reported.

“We will at least start with those,” Northam said.

When asked about confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens, Northam responded “that’s something I’m working [on] with our secretary of public safety,” adding that he will work with anti-gun activists on the issue.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that during the recent election, Democrat candidates were silent on whether they supported Northam’s extreme gun confiscation plan. The Free Beacon reports:

Gun confiscation and other gun control measures have been part of Northam’s agenda, but took on increased importance after a picture of two men, one in blackface and the other in KKK robes, was uncovered on Northam’s page in a medical school yearbook. In his first major public appearance after the scandal broke, Northam called for a special session of the legislature in order to reconsider his gun control package, following the recent strategy used by prominent liberals of pivoting to gun control after brushes with controversy.

Democrats have a strong incentive, in the form of millions in dark money, to implement new gun control laws. In each of the last three election cycles, Everytown for Gun Safety—backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg—and other gun control groups have spent

Hey Governor Coonman, just a reminder for you. You, apparently, have never heard of the Virginia state motto:

Sic Semper Tyrannis

I think you'd better look up the translation.

The Governor and his suited compatriots, should start door to door, tomorrow, bright and early, in the not-good part of pickanytown and confiscate all firearms from the resident gangsters. And from the single mommas who have a gun to protect themselves from said gangsters. We’ll anxiously await his speech announcing a total of the day’s haul.

What??? No one is saying anything about shooting anyone, but you.

Yes, Northam and fellow leftists are anti-Constitution and treasonous, but it's very "not cool" to talk about shooting fellow Americans (although, I hesitate to call Northam an American or a true Virginian.)

Talking like that is the very thing that the left loves, an excuse to "red flag" someone.

Well, there’s one thing Viginians can do to counter this- every last law abiding gun owning citizen can become criminals- liberals will not only NOT go after criminals for anything, including breaking gun laws, they will provide them with sanctuary

Become criminals? Oh, you mean become liberals. Same thing, only they don't realize it since they are so far above the law.

It would serve the nonvoters right to lose their gun rights.

'a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others'

That is the most subjective horseshit I've heard in my life. I could burn my hand on the stove and be considered 'a risk to myself'. It's an ambiguous, star chamber, sliding definition, subject to the interpretation of whomever makes the ruling that day. And all Virginians don't need to be shot. Only those who live in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince William counties - THAT'S where the filthy nest of Leftists, radicals, federal government deadbeats, and parasitic migrants live. I know - I lived there. My buddy is ditching his house of 30 years over it and it moving to WV, where a lot of other soon-to-be VA expats are going. What makes VA bluer makes WV redder.

My apologies in advance. I thought you were being serious about gun owners becoming criminals.

In the demoKKKrat controlled dystopian universe, one becomes a criminal by not only "hate speech," but what one thinks and believes.
