Virginia democrats propose law blocking cops, active military from carrying guns
2020-01-14
[LAWENFORCEMENTTODAY] It seems as though every day brings us something new out of Virginia relating to their now Democrat-led legislators and gun laws.
Only Antifa can carry guns?
What’s the latest?

State Delegate Dan Helmer filed a bill this past Wednesday that would allow the Attorney General, Mark Herring, the ability to determine which states’ concealed carry permits Virginia would continue to recognize, and potentially making it almost impossible for people to protect themselves if they do not live in Virginia.

Not that they plan to let Virginians protect themselves either.

It appears that this would include members of the military that are stationed at one of the many Virginia bases.

#10  Soon they will be opening the prisons, again.

#9  Gov and his lackeys think their goons will protect them and enable them to do their dirty work that they won’t do themselves.

#8  All their proposals are unconstitutional, and given trends in the Supreme Court with regard to the Second Amendment, will not be permitted to stand. I think the purpose of all this nonsense is to inspire their voters to turn out in November, in the hope that they’ll at least hold onto the state and Virginia’s Congressional seats, given that it’s ever clearer who’ll be sitting in the White House

#7  ..their problem is that they believe they'll be doing the culling and not be the culled.

#5  I think the Left believes there's a lot to gain from provoking an insurrection that they can then violently suppress. I think there are groups that have the whole strategy planned out by now. Why else would they be executing the plan?

#4  Do they want a civil war?

Yes. Next question.

They think stuffing the ballot box equates to consent of the governed. They'll going to find out its the willingness to give the last full measure of devotion. Or as the old sarge said - Are you prepared to die on that hill?

#3  Actually it is a common negotiation strategy to be ultra aggressive against a passive party in hopes of moving the needle closer to a more positive goal for the aggressive negotiator.

What the right needs to do is to respond with a list of demands that are to the other extreme and call it a stalemate.

#2  Puzzling indeed. Are they just completely deluded, or actively trying to provoke a civl war. Honestly can't figure them out. Strange.

#1  I have to wonder, has the Virginia government gone completely insane? Do they want a civil war?
