Gun ‘sanctuaries’ compared to slavery, ‘dangerous,’ ‘ugly,’ ‘disturbing’
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] A new line of attack on Virginia’s fast-growing gun sanctuary movement, which is propelling similar pro-gun efforts in other states, compares it to slavery, drawing criticism from movement leaders who have won support in 91% of the state’s counties.

In the latest Washington Post slam on the movement, dubbed "vigilantism" in a recent editorial, the paper gave space Sunday to a critic who said the "thinking" behind the organic movement is what propelled slavery and opposed the civil rights movement.

Peter Galuszka called the movement "disturbing," "reactionary," "hysteria," "ugly," and "dangerous."

In linking it to slavery, he wrote, "A sad irony is that the ’sanctuary’ movement conjures the disturbing nullification movements of the past three centuries in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison argued that the states have the right to ignore federal laws they consider unconstitutional. That thinking was applied to proslavery movements, leading to the Civil War and the fight over integration in the 1950s and 1960s."

He also cited polls showing broad public support for gun control, which the new Democratic state legislature and Gov. Ralph Coonman Northam
...Governor of Virginia, another Dem Great White Hope. He won election by calling his Publican opponent Ed Gillespie a racist, but then, don't they all?...
 plan to use in arguing for a ban on modern sporting weapons such as the AR-15, limits on the size of magazines that hold cartridges, an expanded background check system, and a new $4 million, 18-member team to enforce new gun control measures and a limit on gun purchases.

#1 A sad irony is that the ’sanctuary’ movement conjures the disturbing nullification movements of the past three centuries in Virginia

They say that with a straight face while nullifying the 2nd Amendment of the federal Constitution. Freudian projection runs deep deep on the Left.

Speaking of slaves. When did slaves ever own guns equal to that of the 'authorities'? Thus, who are the real slavers? /rhet question

He also cited polls showing broad public support for gun control

Polls do not equal consent of the governed. Willingness to give the last full measure of devotion equals consent of the governed.

#2 Molon Labe* is usually translated as "Come and take them". 2400 years later, it seems the challenge needs to be updated.

"Come and get it" works for me.

* I'm told the literal translation is "Having come, take". Now you know where the term "laconic" comes from. Thus endeth today's gratuitous lesson.

#3 These are the same SS Clowns that coined the term "sanctuary cities" -- their own Calhoun-esque revival of Nullification of federal law & law enforcement.

Look in the mirror, you deluded fools.

#4 Comparing gun sanctuary to slavery is a red herring that is meaningless. Nothing prevents African-Americans from obtaining firearms for personal protection or from a government that goes rogue. Many do. It seems like this sanctuary city, county, and state idea is going viral.

#5 Screw these fools, the next civil war is a war to the knife. At the end they will beg for mercy but they have destroyed any last vestiges of it from America. Reap the whirlwird.

#7 What about the sanctuary cities that try to nullify federal laws that apply to illegal aliens?

#8 The problem with liberal when they try to present logical and legal arguments is that their logic is full of holes and they ignore the law.

#10 Everything through the prism of race, the gift of the Obama era, and the use of racism as the wedge to drive white guilt. The charge of Racism is now thrown at every target and is a tool of the socialist revolution and it needs to be dismissed as meaningless and trite...
