While several of Virginia’s congresscritters are calling for Second Amendment Sanctuary counties in the state to be stripped of state funds or to have the National Guard brought in to enforce new gun control laws, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is instead offering veiled threats of “consequences” for sheriffs in Second Amendment Sanctuary counties unless they enforce whatever gun control bills he signs into law.
When asked by a reporter if local governments would face retaliation for declaring themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries, Northam responded, “There’s not going to be retaliation. That’s not what I’m about. I’m about making Virginia safer.”
Northam continued, “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”
Northam did not offer specifics on what the potential consequences would be.

History may be repeating itself.
"Look men, there stands Jackson like a stone wall. Rally behind the Virginians!"
Red Flag the liberal Democrats in their big, downtown cities, like public school admins. Red flag their teacher unions.
Eventually they will have to grant immunity to special groups which shall invalidate Red Flag laws.
Alinsky.
So the left is against the National Guard protecting our borders but would be fine with them taking legal gun owners guns........wow
Time to assemble a book with info on those hostile to the 2nd, as some are doing in other states.
Good on you for quoting our state motto. It is rather ironic, isn’t it?

Methinks Gov Blackface will have a lot of armed visitors from surrounding states .
Sheriffs are correctly elected by the people not by dirtbag Governors.
but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.
I recall some time in history at a place named Concord...
wow.. I’m glad we didn’t elect Ed Gillespie.. Ol milquetoast Ed would not be killing babies and taking guns. But his opinion on a statue was such a turn-off that people didn’t vote for him.
I wonder how the same people feel about Coonman the gun grabber leading the troops against their local Sherrif’s office?
Sounds like CW is on the horizon in VA.
I’m glad my county supervisors voted to do this yesterday. I guess everyone is just going to wait and see what happens next and see how it works. Everyone is saying it is symbolic so far, which if it scares dem pols in moderate areas might be enough. Has it ever worked in practice anywhere?
Freegards
Yes we will.
The covers are slowly being lifted now.
I’m surprised that someone hasn’t already done it online, so it can be amended as more hostiles are discovered.
A 2A sanctuary should be full automatic, suppressed guns, and SBR, no tax stamps, nullifying all gun control.
In FL, a governor can remove a sheriff for cause. Can VA do this too?
Especially once the seize-ers understand nobody is protecting their own families from the seize-ees while they’re out doin’ the seizin’...
That’s what happened to the cops in Northern Ireland...Their families became targets for retaliation due to the cops’ actions...
Don’t advocate, nor want to see it go that way here...Incipient and would-be tyrants need to be recalled for their un-Constitutional acts against the Bill of Rights...Un-elect them all next Nov!
Was he wearing a Klan outfit when he made this threat?
Coonman threatens lynchings.
