'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard for police who fail to enforce gun control legislation
Washington Examiner ^ | 11 December 2019 | Kerry Picket

Posted on 12/12/2019 3:44:33 AM PST by Erik Latranyi

Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard.

After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law.

Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond.

That the governor is threatening to call out his National Guard does not pass without notice.

Guaranteed he would get sufficient compliance out of National Guard to make things messy.

Democrats want to use the National Guard against citizens, but block using the National Guard to secure the border from non-citizens.

Trump can Federalize them and order them to stand down.

Sounds like a couple of novels I wrote.

The first one kicks off in Virginia over an "assault weapons" ban that's triggered by a false-flag stadium massacre.

Tyranny by any other name.

The police can just wimp out and say *We tried....*

But if nobody sees anything or nobody knows anything, what’s a LEO to do?

They say History repeats it self, I say it doesn’t repeat itself the same way but anyway for the sake of the argument a rhetorical question to ask your self is How long before we have a another John Brown incident in Virginia, and one might ask himself was John Brown really a kook or a righteous man, After the John Brown incident things really heated it self up it’s like some one took a torch to the already explosive situation on hand in the nation, he may of failed in his objection but he lighted a fire that did the job with out him.

We’ll have to start calling you a prophet because we are there. I hear there is a Dec. 20th Richmond 2A rally. I’m sure Northam et. al. plan to Richard Spencer this get together like they did Charolttesville. I suspect they will be disappointed in how it turns out this time. They’ll be damn little patience for strangers waving Nazi flags.

We need to attend these meetings like the one in my county next Tuesday and let these politicians and police get a chance to let us know just whose side they are on.

I JUST CAME UP WITH A WIN-WIN RESPONSE.

I read about a sheriff who was planning on deputizing each and every law-abiding citizen in his county. Under the law proposed, the gun bans exclude LEO’s. Thus, everyone is excluded. WIN.

Say the Democrats change the law to disarm LEO’s. Unworkable, and gives citizens further parity with Law Enforcement. WIN.

The “bottom line” is once they start talking about guns it is clear elections don’t work anymore.

Actually... that would be brilliant. The D’s would absolutely go batsh*t over that.

The law is the law eh? So, when does the roundup of illegals start? Oh, and if you bring in the national guard...well, some patriotic militia from out of state just might show up to show their support for the sheriffs. So, Virginia ‘rats, do you really want the first battles of CW-II fought on your territory, in your cities, and at your (personal) homes? Just how far are you willing to go to force your ideas on an unwilling citizenry?

They are pushing for a civil war. I wonder which country has pledged its support to the denmocrats? China perhaps?

—————

China. Mexico for sure and likely France, Germany, England, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and a few others.

If this comes to pass, do not fight the police or National Guard. Do not engage those sent to disarm you.

Go directly to the homes of those that voted for these laws and show them what real resistance is all about.

The people should not fight with the cannon fodder sent by the politicians....fight the politicians directly.
