I agree, it is beyond hilarious, its a Theater of the Absurd. The last I read, he was talking down his Policies. We will have to wait till the new year, when the Va Vultures return; to see what happens. If it gets too hot, he will likely run for President in 2020!
The only talking down of his policies I have heard about is grandfathering "assault firearms" as long as people register them with the state... so they can take them later.
That was one, I may be wrong, but I thought I read he has flat said no to the idea of the N.G. doing the confiscation work. It seems the statement was just before X-Mass. I could be wrong
I thought there was a statement from someone in the National Guard stating they would not comply with the orders. I don't know if they had any authority in the NG or not. I've heard lots of opinions from members of the NG in the state, none of them willing to follow these orders.
Communists can't have the working class revolt they want so badly without armed people. Of course they oppose gun confiscation. Position on guns is how you differentiate the useful idiots from the real communists. If the communists ever get what they want the useful idiots will be lined up and shot. And then the communists will grab the guns without all the democratic nonsense. This is how it always happens. Let them be on your side on this, but don't for a second let them be your friends.
“From a left-socialist perspective, then, the concentration of wealth and the concentration of armed power in the hands of a few, are both bad ideas—and the one has everything to do with the other... “regulations” are limitations on a right, and rights, though never absolute, are to be valued.
...Those who hold that gun ownership is a fundamental political right correctly perceive, and are right to resist, the intended threat of its incremental elimination in gun-control laws that will have little to no practical effect, other than to demand more acts of compliance and submission to the armed authority of the state...
When you ban guns, you are not just eliminating a right, you are creating a criminal offense – in fact a whole set of new crimes...
The net effect of eliminating the right of citizens to possess firearms will be to increase the power of the armed capitalist state. It will not be a more pacific, but a more authoritarian society, one in which the whole panoply of armed police we’ve already come to accept as part of the social landscape will be even more ubiquitous, while citizens’ compliance and submission will be more thoroughly assured. As Patrick Higgins puts it: “The formula for gun control seems pretty obvious to me. Less [sic] guns for the people who are most likely to need them, more guns for cops and soldiers and those sympathetic to them.”
...Rights empower. Power is dangerous. Guns—certainly the personal firearms that are in question—carry a limited but real measure of inherent power, and therefore danger, that everyone should respect. Indeed, it is because guns are dangerous that the right to own one is important...”
Beyond even the Constitution, ownership and possession of arms, as well as active training and drilling with arms by ordinary citizens, is a necessary and fundamental element of inalienable human rights, from both philosophical and practical viewpoints.
Classical liberals, and even far leftists (when divorced from their current politically-expedient B.A.M.N. power-grabbing Trump-hatred hysteria) agree.
Those who want to abridge or revoke that can leave the country, and the planet, by helicopter.
"Anti-Panty' is against Gov. BlackFace? There goes another group he was hoping to have enforce his gun ban with!
Haha, yep. This is hilarious.

Trump isn't going to allow Virginia to use the NG to attack citizens in their homes.
This is the first time ever Antifa has seen and been against an actual fascist government.
Yeah, I wouldn't trust any one of them.

Gun ownership is in the Constitution. Those who want to abridge that or revoke that need to leave the country. That includes S0r0s and Bl00mberg.
