Yep- that’s what i had heard/read early on-

I knew when NY rammed through their unconstitutional ‘Safe Act’ under the false claim of ‘Imminent Need’ that they were setting the stage for liberal states to follow since you can’t define an objective criteria for ‘Imminent Need’- it’s an open claim that can’t even be proved- because no matter how many or how few people die from guns, they will always claim “Not one more person should ever die from guns again”, and “We NEED to pass this law to protect innocent lives” That’s precisely how NY got through their “Imminent Need’ unconstitutional law

This is how liberals have been acting in the churches. Either vote to agree with them on horrendous policy or split from the liberal church. They are doing it at a National level now and we will see a split if they keep it up.

Members of the Assembly and the Senate are elected by district. In recent years there has been a large population increase in Northern Virginia, driven by vast expansion of DC (government employees, contractors, lobbyists, people servicing all these), plus masses of government retirees, and immigrants.

90% (wild guess) of these settlers are Dems, and large percentages do indeed derive their living from government. High density areas are inherently more efficient for rounding up votes, broadcasting ads for candidates and issues, cheating, etc. The state’s Republican Party is moribund, and shows little fire for figuring out how to campaign in rural areas where R’s dominate. Hopefully this 2ndA crisis will energize conservatives, but there needs to be organization and candidate development to take advantage of it.

The tea party started out as a god idea but they didn’t capitalize enough

Mitch the Turtle was a very powerful enemy of the TaxedEnoughAlready Party.

Good to see Colion has finally grasped the obvious.

OR, with all the Federal Gubmint Employees who now live there Conservatives are merely outnumbered just like the Left Coast and the Northeast.

Remember when our Constitution protected the Minority from the Fascist Majority? Our Representatives are supposed to adhere to our Constitution, not change it to meet their Leftist Agenda.

In a recent discussion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made a point to tell the Audience that she believes we have a Living Constitution.

When Northam sends his goons out to enforce these new laws, I wonder how many armed guards he will have surrounding himself?

This last election was run on maps drawn by a professor from UC Irvine.
I’m sure he was fair..../s

We have been inundated with illegal aliens and people from communist states.
McAwful institutionalized vote fraud.

VA is a gun grabbing blue state now precisely because of the open borders and big government policies supported by the GOP for decades. It’s a fools errand to think electing more Republicans will fix this problem.

I am convinced the 'Rats have built in vote fraud (motor voter, etc.), in spite of vote ID requirements in VA. The 'Rat Party is synonymous with waste, fraud and corruption.

DemoKKKrats have no God, but power, and they want to be the God of your life.

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

It's Australia-style gun prohibition. *ALL* semi-automatics must be surrendered for destruction.

the Deep Sate is desperate to broker war....civil war here at home-ala Virginia gun confiscation-and war with US forces overseas.

they have calculated that to prevail “they” need both processes running simultaneously

You will see their media organs stoking both as hard as they can

be very careful as to how to take the bait

There will be civil (and un-civil) disobedience and jury nullifications on a massive scale. The leftist are already whining about it.
They've threatened to mobilize their National Guard, but POTUS won't allow the NG to used as a tool of oppression.
The rural counties may peel away and form South Virginia, as was done in 1861 with West Virginia.

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

I think that the typical state legislature is made up of representatives elected in specific districts...just as are member of the US House of Representatives.

The point I was trying to make is that Virgina has a huge number of both government employees and welfare parasites,both of whom are strongly inclined to vote Rat.

And I bet he is terrified right now. If he is not, he is completely disconnected from reality.

I would bet on a complete disconnect from reality.

Plan accordingly.
