Democrat Controlled Virginia ‘Working’ On Confiscating Guns From Law Abiding Citizens, Governor Says
Daily Wire ^ | November 8, 2019 | Ryan Saavedra

Far-left Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam announced this week that he will aggressively work to implement extreme anti-gun laws in the state now that Democrats control the state, including confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens.

During a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Northam “mentioned universal background checks, banning the sale of [semi-automatic firearms] and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others,” The Washington Post reported.

“We will at least start with those,” Northam said.

When asked about confiscating guns from law-abiding citizens, Northam responded “that’s something I’m working [on] with our secretary of public safety,” adding that he will work with anti-gun activists on the issue.

The Washington Free Beacon reported that during the recent election, Democrat candidates were silent on whether they supported Northam’s extreme gun confiscation plan. The Free Beacon reports:

Gun confiscation and other gun control measures have been part of Northam’s agenda, but took on increased importance after a picture of two men, one in blackface and the other in KKK robes, was uncovered on Northam’s page in a medical school yearbook. In his first major public appearance after the scandal broke, Northam called for a special session of the legislature in order to reconsider his gun control package, following the recent strategy used by prominent liberals of pivoting to gun control after brushes with controversy.

Democrats have a strong incentive, in the form of millions in dark money, to implement new gun control laws. In each of the last three election cycles, Everytown for Gun Safety—backed by billionaire Michael Bloomberg—and other gun control groups have spent

The governor is laughing at the idiot voters. They should be so proud of what they have done.

Elections do have consequences. While the Republicans have no Interest in protecting and preserving the Republic, the Democrats are bound and determined to destroy it. But that is neither here nor there. What is important is that the voters of Virginia went to the polls and via their votes spoke on who they wanted to rule over them. Knowing full well what the Democrat Party stands for, they said, via their votes, said that they wished to be ruled by the Democrats. Hopefully they will get their wish.

They sure do. This state could also come under Federal martial law and soon which is another good reason to leave. The revelation of the tweet of the whistleblower lawyer to the existence of a coup which is this current impeachment farce can lead to this. POTUS called these bozos out today and now has the Marines on alert for about 3 weeks or so. If Soros , Steyer and Company have there fingers in this and I bet they do it will impact everything they have gotten into which would be the recent election. The only way I would stay is to help enforce such a mission.

Wait - Trump put the Marines on alert? When, and under what ‘official’ auspices? Is there an imminent SHTF moment being signaled here?

Here is a forum with the details of the story:

I can confirm as I have relatives and friends in the Corps. I’ve seen MARADMIN directives myself.

I don't think we'll completely lose the country as a unique entity - there will always be those who live and die by the Constitution and the Founders' vision - but you can damned sure there are going to end up being independent geographical enclaves designated in the aftermath of whatever is coming over the horizon. I, for one, would tell right-minded Californians to get the hell out while they can, because a wall dwarfing any other the world has ever seen is going to be erected about 30 miles inland from the shore, and we'll be deadly serious about enforcing the crossing of it. Likewise with Manhattan Island and the coastal NW. These will be designated liberal Botany Bay colonies.

There are those who wouldn't like it if I were king.

This story was repeated through more sources than infowars. The MARADMIN piece within it is the same.

Yeah, but aren’t these things periodically reauthorized as the old one expires?
