Are they seriously considering confiscating guns in VA???

They are budgeting for it. So, yes.

The movement to create counties that will ignore gun-control laws should be promoted.

I would like to see a map where all 2 Amendment-supporting counties surround the tiny islands of gun-grabbing cities.

Northam needs to carefully analyze what is going on globally right now and understand what it means. I wouldn’t want to be him for millions of dollars. Time is running out on his crowd.

Northam and the demoKKKrats have absolutely no regard for the lives of the pre-born children of Virginia. I doubt they have much more for the citizens, especially conservative, pro 2nd Amendment Trump supporters.

I know and they are clearly suicidal in their thinking. They are going to get crushed like insects in what’s coming and zI won’t feel the least bit of sympathy for them! They have been warned!

EVERY conservative should boycott Virginia.

The only reason I would spend a penny in Virginia is if and when my 2A brothers and sisters need my support to overthrow this tyrant.

>> The only reason that this is possible in Virginia is because of all the residents who get some kind of government check.

Is the entire legislature of VA elected as at-large candidates or does each county/district elect their own representative?

=[[EVERY conservative should boycott Virginia.]]

The tea party started out as a god idea but they didn’t capitalize enough- they could have united all across the country to do things exactly like this, boycott en mass- EVERY time some fascist state does crap like this- When the NBA decided to boycott NC because of trans bathroom crap- the right could have organized a strong counter boycott- but nope- we just allowed the left to call all the shots-

VA is going beyond, they are going after all semi automatics- regardless of caliber- Those other states haven’t gone that far yet-

The Virginia Citizens Defense League has one here https://vcdl.org/
Scroll down for the map.

The VCDL along with Gun Owners of America have collectively done more in the last decade than the NRA has in the last three.

Members of the VA General Assembly are elected locally from the local legislative districts: VA Senate and the VA House of Delegates.

“Northam and the demoKKKrats have absolutely no regard for the lives of the pre-born children of Virginia.”

I call him Governor Mengele.
It fits.

So, it will be all (or most) semi-autos? That’s a tough pill to swallow.

As of this morning, VCDL counts 117 sanctuaries (County, City & Towns.) The most recent is Clarke County just east of I-81 near Winchester. They will (99% probability) lose Prince William County in NOVA tomorrow due to a newly seated majority anti gun ‘Rat Board of Supervisors.

CT followed right after NY's SAFE Act in 2013. The difference between NY/CA/CT and VA is that VA is actually planning for the means to confiscate assault weapons/ all semi-automatic rifles.

Sounds good to me. I occasionally call him Bloody Ralph, CoonMan, Governor Black Face. He has a lot of nicknames.

The only reason this is possible in Virginia is because a bunch of conservative voters decided to stay home or at work last November and did not vote.

So they get what they deserve. Now it will take much more effort to fix than if they had voted the first time.
