Huge night for gun owners, 18 new sanctuaries, including in Prince William County, City of Chesapeake, and Spotsylvania County! There are now a total of 77 sanctuaries across Virginia. Tomorrow night is going to have another large number of localities considering resolutions!
To check the full list and count of sanctuaries, remember to just go to the VCDL.org main page.
Here are the new sanctuaries on Tuesday night:
Bath County - Unanimous
Big Stone Gap
Bluefield
Caroline County - 600+ in attendance
Chesapeake - unanimous! Massive turnout well over 1,300 people
Cumberland County
Floyd County - 5 to 0 - packed house!
Greene County
Henrico County - 3 to 2
James City County - Unanimous
Martinsville
Nelson County - 4 to 1 - overflow crowd
Prince George County
Prince William County - 6 to 2, massive crowd - past 1,000
Smyth County - Unanimous - 1,100 or so in attendance
Spotsylvania County - unanimous - massive, massive crowd - way past 1,000
Strasburg
Warren County - unanimous - well over 1,000 in attendance
These localities didn't pass a resolution for various reasons:
Fredericksburg rejected the resolution. Very low turnout. I think everyone was at the Spotsylvania meeting.
Lynchburg failed to pass their resolution by one vote: 3 to 4. May reconsider in January.
Newport News did not take any action but heard from a room full of people. If this is to pass, we need to massively overflow their meeting room next time.
Waynesboro to vote on their resolution in January after hearing from a standing-room-only crowd on Tuesday.
Winchester had 75 to 100 with GSL stickers in the chambers and more in the hallway. 10 speakers, all pro-gun. City Council went into closed session afterwards, but no resolution and no vote tonight. We'll have to see what they do next.
I have photos of these events on the VCDL.org main page. The majority of these meetings were either close to 1,000 or well over 1,000 attending! I would say that Prince William County, Spotsylvania County, and the City of Chesapeake were breathtaking. If you haven't been to one of these events, you don't know what you are missing. The energy is incredible.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS SO IMPORTANT. I am chest-thumping proud of all of you who are turning out at these meetings! You are in the fight and you are absolutely making a difference! But we must keep these jaw-dropping turnouts going across the Commonwealth! They are changing the political landscape in Virginia, trust me on this.
Oh, and if these events are jaw-dropping, just wait until Lobby Day on 1/20/2020.
Even if you don't live in VA, I highly recommend signing up for their free VCDL email alerts. It's a great "state only" 2nd Amendment organization.
Every state needs a 2nd Amendment organization like VCDL!
Well, we aren’t gonna see this on FakeBook ...
I’d love to see something like this get started here in Illinois, it would be a first step toward secession from the State of Chicago.
Glad to see but wish they had turned out more at election time.
Elections have consequences.
Maybe they did turn out and there’s just not enough of them.
Upstate NY needs to do this STAT.
Or maybe they turned out, and their votes weren’t counted....
There are always more sheep than sheep dogs.
We’re being outvoted by illegal aliens and people from the Northeast that want to turn VA into the shitholes they fled.
Clinton’s Bag Man (McAwful) institutionalized vote fraud.
More like gerrymandering which diluted the GOP vote.
People who think that the way to solve gun violence is by disarming law abiding gun owners who routinely vote for Republican candidates if they can find one.
It's not the law abiding citizens who are committing gun crimes is's demoKKKrat voters, i.e. the constituents of the gun grabbing politicians.
The gun grabbing politicians have no intention of solving gun violence. That would take away a key platform campaign position for them; the same principle as solving poverty and other crimes.
There's currently just one county, Wyoming County, and one town, Grand Island, that have passed a resolution in NYS.
Suspect this is a much bigger problem nationwide, than most people realize.
But good news that Va. is fighting the gun grabbers.
You mean Fascistbook?
It’s disgusting that counties and cities and towns are doing this to tell the state government to bugger off.
A RESOLUTION NO. 19-57
Requesting that the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia refrain from taking any action which would restrict the citizens of Colonial Heights from exercising their rights under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.
WHEREAS, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “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”; and WHEREAS, Article I, Section 13, of the Constitution of Virginia provides: “That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power”; and WHEREAS, the City Council is concerned that certain legislation introduced in the 2020 session of the Virginia General Assembly could have the effect of infringing on the rights of law- abiding citizens to keep and bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution; and WHEREAS, the City Council opposes the passage of any bill which would infringe on the rights of the citizens of Colonial Heights to keep and bear arms in accordance with the Second Amendment; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLONIAL HEIGHTS: 1. That the Council requests that the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia refrain from taking any action which would restrict the right of the citizens of Colonial Heights to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.

As of 1200 Hrs 12/11/19, VCDL has now amended their list of sanctuary cities/counties to include Colonial Heights (Independent City)
You under-estimate Matt Bracken.
Election Fraud on a National Scale?
