Without question it is unconstitutional. And if allowed it will indeed eventually spread to all the other states.
You know, if I put my tinfoil hat on it sure sounds like they’re trying to put a buffer zone around DC.
If any demoKKKrat is elected President in 2020 count on it being pushed as federal legislation. I'm not counting on the Turtle shutting this down in the U.S. Senate if the Rats hold the House and the White House.
“Provides that a person is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity if such person assembles with another person with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any components or combination thereof. Such unlawful paramilitary activity is punishable as a Class 5 felony.”
This is as unconstitutional, IMHO, as it gets.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
The SCOTUS will overrule, so giant waste of time.
This is only further proof that Virginia will be one of the first states that Trump will put under martial law.
Did SCOTUS overrule lawsuits against firearms manufacturers, or did they just choose not to rule and allow the lower courts that had given the OK for lawsuits to prevail?
So these morons are going to declare the Virginia based NRA a paramilitary organization?
I’m glad my last rifle instructor course I taught there is already over.
There will be revolution in Virginia west of Roanoke
“The SCOTUS will overrule, so giant waste of time.”
I wouldn’t make any bets on it. How many times have we heard that? SCOTUS does not always do what it should do. Look at where we are now because of their trend to outright ignore the Constitution. They judge by emotion and societal influence rather than constitutional fact, they have for many years now.
The legislative idiots in New York State did just that
and then had to rewrite the bill later.
Proving again that Progressism is a mental and social disease.
Here we go...
King George III would be proud...
Gotta train harder for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Unfortunately training to defend against the Zombie Apocalypse in Virginia is going to become a Class 5 felony.
Coincidentally all zombies vote demoKKKrat. (After all they are brain dead.)
The SCOTUS will overrule, so giant waste of time.

Maybe, in a few years when it gets there if we have two more justices appointed.
Right now, I wouldn’t count on it.
We only have three conservatives on the court.
CV2 must be on the horizon. No longer a distant crazy idea.
I think the same thing happened in NJ, as well, not too long ago. And Jersey has an AG that is pretty insane. Publicly stated that Jersey will not abide by Federal Law, HR218, that allows cops, from other states, to carry guns in the state. Country is falling apart.
West of Goochland.
This wouldn’t be nearly so bad if the wording “for use in” was dropped. I wouldn’t have any problem outlawing training if it was intended “in furtherance of civil disorder”.
As written, this law would also put the kybosh on all the Leftist “gun clubs” that have been springing up lately too, so expect it to get pushback from both sides.
