Time for a nationwide Virginia Militia.
If you have a weapon and are a free citizen, you are already part of the militia.
Pretty much
I'm with you (even your typos :) ). The current "government" of our state is corrupt. I976 is a great example when you compare the reasons why it's "unlawful" vs 1639. Where do we sign up for the local melisscha?
Any info on gates being a sellout with respect to guns?
Aw yiss,
time for da big boogaloo!!
It already spread to Kentucky
What are you doing waiting around? be the change you want to see in your community.
Where the fuck is the NRA during this massive fight? Support your local #2A groups.
I'm still pretty upset with the outlandish spending waste from Wayne LaPierre. I've not followed up with what happened though. Got disgusted and stopped reading their site. I still support the NRA, but I think Mr LaPierre has some 'splaining to do. The NRA needs to get back on track and be absolute bulldogs when it comes to 2A violations.
If you don’t have a ham radio, get one.
You don't need a license to listen. If you just want to listen to pretty much the entire radio spectrum you can pick up a Software Defined Radio (SDR). A good starter is the RTLSDR ~30$ but I recommend the RSP1A SDRPlay ~110$. You cannot transmit on low cost SDRs.
The talkies like the Baofengs UV8R are great local comms 2 meters / GMRS / FRS / 70 cm (about 5 miles) without access to a repeater unless you get good atmospheric "skip" or you key up on a repeater. Then there is HF Lower frequencies like 6-160 meters for WW comms. There are a lot of different modes, CW, Phone (voice), Digitial, etc. None of which are encrypted unless you have special hardware.
BTW, the licensing is super easy to get. Technical (2mtrs) or General (HF). Just go to hamstudy.org and go through the flash cards. All the questions are posted and it's just memorization. When I earned my General this past year, there were 2 16 yo girls who took their test for Technical and passed. Super Easy.
Good Luck! Molon Labe!
Licensed General Ham Operator.
Excellent info! 73's sir!
73 to you too!
U sound like my son. So we are pretty much outfitted like u say.
Thank you pede! Pretend you're talking to a complete noob/idiot (because you are)...if I have for instance somethign like an RSP1A and a PC, what else what I need, what kinds of antenna, etc?
Any "Start here, ham dummy" links you can point me to?
You are welcome 'Pede!
Best place to start is your local HAM clubs. Most of them love new people. It's a "dying art" in a lot of cases. You can also pick up the books Technician or General Study Guide. Or if you want to see the "encyclopedia" then pick up the latest ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications 2019.
For the antenna, well, that is no easy answer. The answer is "depends". Right now, I am using my SDR to pick up NOAA satellite imagery. So, I am using a V-Dipole that I homemade - most antennas are. For VHF (2 mtr) base station operations, I am using a J-pole in the attic. For VHF mobile ops, I am using a 1/4 wave whip for 2 meters. For VHF while walking with my baofeng, I bought a nice Nagoya 18". For HF, I either use a Carolina Windom or for field ops with my FT-891, I use a end fed half wave that my dad built for me with a 49:1 Unan.
If you want to get started fast with the SDR, then pick up a inexpensive 9:1 Balun with a long wire. That can pretty much pluck anything out of the air.
Good Luck and 73!
You can study to your hearts content online but you have to take the test in a proctored environment. Contacting the local Radio Club may be the best option. Most radio clubs offer testing. You can find local radio club just by using your favorite search engine. For instance, I just looked for Western Washington Ham Club and came up with this: http://n7cfo.com/amradio/hf/cls&ve.htm
Good Luck!
You are very much welcome 'Pede! 73!
Good luck calling in the National Guard to enforce gun control laws, Gov. Blackface. And if any patriots out there need backup, would be happy to take a road trip.
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
Serious question: how many counties are there actually in Virginia? Wikipedia claims 95, and this morning I read that 101 counties had declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries.
The Washington Examiner piece says 86 of the 95 counties, plus 15 towns and cities. 86 + 15 = 101 entities
Thanks for the clarification. I thought I was going democrat (you know; 70% think socialism is okay and the other 35% can't do math).
No problem, easy mistake to make.
Going democrat? Yeah that would explain a lot.
2nd amendment already says I'm part of the militia. I don't need some declaration reaffirming that.
Whatever man I'm in Tennessee and know a lot of boys who are ready to do what Tennessee boys do. We can be in Virginia in a few hours. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
They really arent going to get it until they all are walking to a noose
Maybe one day the whole country will be a sanctuary from constitutional violations. I kinda thought that was the point of the constitution in the first place.
Wouldn't that be novel???
There is a reason why the dead are always depicted as evil, they always vote democrat

God bless the founders and god bless America ??
Make no mistake. Liberals are merely testing the waters.
I'm thinking about opening a gibbet factory, as the need seems eminent.
Tar and feathers will be on sale soon...
Opening day for the Big Igloo moves closer.
I was overjoyed to learn my county, Marion, in Florida just became a Second Amendment Sanctuary.
Nation wide 2A Sanctuary county's, Go talk to your local government
I made a thing.
