Being in Virginia and a former Michigander from upstate I can say too that Virginia also is well armed. All my neighbors here in the mountains have firearms and many have small armories. It surely wouldn’t be wise of the dear leader to make such an proclamation.
I always chuckle at these stories, i live in western NY and i can damn well guarantee there is well over a thousand guns within a one mile radius of my home, and thats being “EXTREMELY” conservative.
