I like how everyone's all focused on "Orange Man Bad" when the boogaloo is about to kick off in VA next week when the Governor tries to order the National Guard to start confiscating guns because the county sheriffs refuse to enforce his unconstitutional new gun laws.Yes, but only in an alternate reality created by a white supremacist nut-case with serious anger management issues, a history of spreading inflammatory misinformation, and who's also done time in the pokey for threatening federal judges.
How that whole situation plays out is gonna make or break a lot of stuff nation-wide. Originally Posted by GastonGlock

There are no new gun laws in Virginia just yet, but with Democrats in charge of state government starting in January, there may be some new common-sense regulations, like universal background checks, one gun per month limits, and red-flag laws for people posing an immediate threat.

Not exactly the most credible source, and no one else is talking about calling out the National Guard in Virginia. Originally Posted by Dev Null

Just ask any potential draftee from back before the draft was sidelined in 1973.
Any elected official or law enforcement officer who enforces such things are traitors to their oaths to the constitution. and not to be obeyed.

You might want to check it out if you haven't already seen it. Kind of a libertarian anthem. He ran for President in 2000. The book is available on Kindle, but I can save you the $7.99 in a few paragraphs.
If the people who make laws or enforce wish to continue doing so, it would be in their best interest to remember who they're beholden to. Originally Posted by GastonGlock
