Let Virginia be the warning to every gun owner in America. If democrats get control again the second amendment will be under the worst threat in our nation's history.
The same people that use violence, intimidation, open borders, lawlessness, needle exchanges are coming for your guns next.
Confiscation is a non-starter. I really don't see local LEA and VA national guard willing to put their resources and officers on the line to enforce Gov. Coonman's dictates. Coonman is full of shit if he thinks people in VA will meekly comply with his stupid laws.
Even non gun owners...imagine if your neighbor had an AR15, kept is locked up, only took it to the range, was otherwise law abiding, etc. Would you really be happy to see armed agents show up to his house and get into a shootout with him? What if your kids were playing outside? Or if he had kids? Or see armored vehicles driving up your street to disarm him?
My concern is the never-ending raft of gun control laws. Ammo taxes, gun violence taxes, special licensing, lawsuits against gun companies and retailers, eroding carry laws, mag capacity bans, etc. Or death by a thousand cuts.
People are more meek that you think they are. People couldn't have been purged to the gulags if the default state of people was to strike out.
Perhaps. But even if they get 90% compliance that's still 250,000 gun owners. And I have yet to see any of the states that have tried crap like this get anywhere close to even 10% compliance.
This is true. People just ignore it.
Only about 30% of the citizens participated in the Revolution.
