Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard.
After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a red flag law.
Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond.

They are pushing for a civil war. I wonder which country has pledged its support to the denmocrats? Many nations via the UN.

You’re not going to eat our civil rights, assholes.
You want to be a bunch of Communists, go move to North Korea. Try it here, and I expect you’re going to have problems

That’s his call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he has.
We are dead serious, motherf**ker. And the governor doesnt have the power to nationalize the Guard, cretin.

As a former ARNG officer I can see alot of guardsmen calling in sick or better yet, federalize them and send them home like "Ike" did in the Central High Crisis.
VA GOV: Turn in your guns.
VA Citizens: No.
VA GOV: Cops....go get the guns!
VA Cops: Are you crazy? No.
VA GOV: Call up the National Guard!
VA TAG: All called up sir, no one showed up!
Trump: Thats Ok, you are all federalized now under Title 10. Go home and wait for further orders.
During this exchange is when VA patriots should be pulling congresscritters from their homes and taking care of them "Henry Bowman" style.

I interact with LEOs a lot as a job function though I am in the private sector. Long story short, the LEOs in urban centers will totally comply with confiscation. Rural LEOs is a mix.

If they try to send the VANG to arrrest thousands of armed deputized militia, it's going to be another Lexington and Concord.
