We live in a federal system where certain rights are reserved to the states. These laws will be taken into the courts. That is why it is so important to have a president who will appoint conservative federal judges, from bottom to the top.
Trump is using his “bully pulpit” to shine the light on this problem in VA. He is right. The first step is reelecting Trump. He only lost by 112,000 votes in 2016 in VA. I believe that this ignites a storm and he will win VA. Next, the people of VA need to take back the legislature and get rid of “Coonman.” Then they can get rid of the laws that violate the 2nd amendment. Of course, all bets are off if they try going from door to door confiscating guns.
One out of four votes originate in Northern Virginia and there is not enough rural votes to make up the difference. Tidewater now votes blue since, at best now, Virginia Beach is just 50/50 and Richmond is deep blue along with its suburbs.
There are a total of 35 state legislative seats in Northern Virginia - 25 House and 10 State Senate seats and every single one of them is a democrat - a 35 to zero democrat sweep - so no - Virginia will be voting blue.
As far as taking back the state legislature, that won't happen either. In the November elections, dems flipped both houses to their side. This means that a democrat state house and senate and a democrat governor get to redraw every state legislative and congressional district lines, which means they will be gerrymandered to their benefit.
It will be a long time, if ever, before the republicans flip the chambers back.
Elections have consequences. While the libs came out in November in a record vote for state elections (they were motivated by their hatred of Trump since voting dem is the only thing they can do), the gun owners stayed home cleaning their guns. Now they are all scared.
You think that statement was bullying? That was as mild as it gets. This is the first I've ever heard him even mention this? Sorry, but that response was lame as hell. Trump simply doesn't care about 2A.
That's true, you just don't understand which rights those are. Please re-read, or maybe in your case read, the U.S. Constitution. All enumerated rights are guaranteed by the Federal government. That includes 2A.
Non-enumerated rights are the purview of the States. Thus:
Article [X] (Amendment 10 - Reserved Powers) The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
