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

I’m curious how this clown thinks he’s going to enact his plans. I live in a very conservative county and the sheriff’s department will very likely not comply with any attempt to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens.
That’s what is most dangerous about Democrats. You only need to elect them once, and they immediately set out using the full force of government to do one and only one thing - entrench the power of the Party. Just like any third world thugocracy.
I moved here when I was in the Army. No reason to stay, my kids have moved away. I grew up in New Mexico so I can “pass for Texan” but I never liked Texas (or Texans much). The wife and I have been talking about leaving but where to?
We’re probably going to high-tail it to NC after my wife retires in three years.
See my #45.
We’re you assigned to Ft. Eustis?
Virginia where only common criminals, Sinaloa cartel members, elite’s body guards, and police have guns. All others subject to prosecution for gun owning or threatening harm to bros using guns to earn a living.
Yeah.
It has already begun here in Loudoun Co., VA.
Michael Bloomberg and George Soros created this take over of Virginia.
This is one of the reasons they did it.
“ Elections do have consequences. ”

Yup, sure do. Northern Virginia is now part of the Maryland/DC state should secede and form the new state of South Virginia. Or, petition West Virginia to accept its annexation. Maybe Northern Virginia could be annexed by Maryland.
Well ....elections have consequences.
When listening to Rush the other day, a lady called from VA. and stated that over 30 districts in Va. had no GOP candidate and the Dems ran unopposed.
If the Repubs can’tbe bothered to find candidates to run, then they are just handing victories to the Dems.
Very sad.
That lady from VA was ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
I am no political genius, but the Republican Party with effective Leaders is NON EXISTANT IN VA.
VA DESPERATELY NEEDS SOME SAVVY, AGGRESSIVE LEADERS and until that happens...it is lost.
DO IT, BABY KILLER!! DO IT!
My wife and I were discussing it this morning; looks like Moyock for us in two years.
When Governor Coonman comes knocking to confiscate guns, wonder how many Virginians will give them the ammo first?
Yes indeedy! As a born and bred Mountaineer now residing in Pennsylvania, come back to the state where Mountaineers are ALWAYS free, and that long gun of the Mountaineer is loaded and ready to go.
I got it from the mouths of Marines that this was unprecedented as it is usually the National Guard that is in this status.
Governor black face and his confiscators have no idea.
