Bring In the National Guard to Enforce Virginia Gun Control, Says Dem Gov. Northham
[Guns America Digest] As you may have heard, Virginia Democrats have promised to pass new gun-control legislation in 2020.And as you also may have heard, this flagrant assault on the 2A rights of Virginians has created a groundswell of backlash as more than 75 of the state’s 95 counties have passed resolutions declaring themselves, "Second Amendment Sanctuaries," meaning they will not observe nor enforce any law that infringes on one’s right to keep and bear arms. This face-off between pro-gun forces at the municipal and grassroots level and their anti-gun opposition in the Legislature raises an obvious question, who wins when the rubber meets the road? Say the Dems do pass all eight proposals (see list below), what happens when a large percentage of the population does not come to heel. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam said while there will not be "retaliation" there will be "consequences" for those who openly flout the law. "There’s not going to be retaliation. That’s not what I’m about. I’m about making Virginia safer," said Northam on Wednesday. "If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences," he continued. "But I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it." Posted by: Besoeker 2019-12-13 |
