The Virginia National Guard on Friday responded to a Democratic lawmaker after he suggested that it may be needed to enforce new gun legislation.
The remarks from Rep. A. Donald McEachin (D-Va.) suggesting that Gov. Ralph Northam (D) may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law comes as dozens of counties across Virginia have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries after Democrats took over the state legislature last election.
"We have received multiple questions regarding proposed legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law enforcement role, the Virginia National Guard wrote in a statement posted on Twitter Friday.
We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard, it added.
Northam had previously hinted that should the Democratic-controlled state legislature pass stricter gun legislation and law enforcement not follow it, there would be consequences.
"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 some consequences," Northam said Thursday, according to WSET.
"But Ill cross that bridge if and when we get to it," he added.

As a guard member I’d stay home to protect my family if the state declared against citizens.
Fantasy dwellers: Call to arms!
Yeah, they are. Collecting until they kill the first resister and they will expect that lesson will end non compliance.
We moved to MS from CA earlier this year.
On Halloween a group of Kids comes to the door, aged six to fourteen my guess.
The oldest Kid’s “costume” was Fatigues with an AR-15 slung over his Shoulder. At first I thought it was a Replica, Toy or a BB Gun. I looked closer and it realized it was the real deal.
Made me appreciate living in a Free State. To think that my older Brother was in the Marksmen Club and used to carry his .22 Rifle to Middle School when we lived on Long Island in the late 50’s.
Goodbye Virginia, it was fun while it lasted.
Include me, stevio
Doxxers within state should assemble and distribute all NECESSARY information on these ANTI-AMERICAN CRIMINALS. I know exactly where my state and federal reprsentatives live. Good people but they never speak out against this. FED Senators on the other had, are SCUM deeply complicit with the CRIMINAL STATE

In Israel, they use Druze.
That’s a miscalculation that could lead to a revolution. It has before.
B-but Carol O’Connor was such a nice sheriff in In The Heat of The Night TV series.
my immediate reaction as well. Second thought was how could this ignorant Dem spout such nonsense. Long past time to require any candidates for office to pass a televised Civics 101 test...let their shameful failures be recorded and prevent their future candidacy for any Fed, State, or local office down to the lowest of the low...forever.
I think they had a hefty jug of Posse Comitatus. Those that survive it are few.
The Founding Fathers did not repeal the state Constitutions.
So if a state repeals the 2nd in their state that supersedes the 2nd of the Constitution? A state can ban all firearms in direct contradiction to the 2nd?
Where were two Capitals of the CSA during the war of aggression?
I’d love to hear a statement from Trump -”If you turn NG troops loose on American Citizens, I’ll send in the 82nd Airborne and drag every democrat responsible out of their beds and throw them in Gitmo.”
This sh*t is getting serious.
