These leftists appear to believe that enough water has flowed under the bridge to re-enact the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Act of 1994. Twenty five years is enough time for a 10 y/o in 1994 to mature to the age of 35 today. They somehow think that the two generations since this enactment are more susceptible to another round of this Act on steroids. What they fail to realize is that this prior ban has been the topic of discussion around many a dinner table and the sons of the fathers are all too familiar with what this proposed legislation entails. Now, instead of having one 2A supporter in the family against such a ban, that has vowed 'Never Again', they now have the father and several adult sons and daughters against such a ban as well. I don't believe these leftists have really done the math thinking this time around will be the same as the last time around. I believe the Virginia 'Sanctuary City/County Map' supports this thesis.

Of course, the same could have been said about Hillary's 1996 universal health care initiative, writ large as Obama Care in 2010 . . . and the rest, is history.
We CANNOT underestimate the level of cheating and thieving that MILLIONS in communist-supplied funding will buy - THIS is the way that the globalists have decided to "roll" . . . witness the 2018 communist state elections in Virginia, and the anti-2A communist government operatives that have been installed.

I posted this pic in another thread, but it may be just as appropriate here...
| From VCDL Virginia now has 112 sanctuaries! I got this message from VCDL member J. Griffin: I live in Buena Vista in Rockbridge County. A special city council meeting was held today (Saturday, December 21) at noon at the Parry McCluer Middle School. Roughly 150 citizens attended and the city council voted unanimously for a strong, constitutionally correct 2A sanctuary resolution.

National Guardsman Breaks Rank On Dems Virginia Gun Control: ‘We Will Not Comply’

Over the last few months, Virginia Democrats have worked to pass extreme gun control measures in the state. In fact, a Democratic congressmen went as far as to say that the National Guard my have to be used in order to enforce a door-to-door gun grab.
“And ultimately, I’m not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” Rep. Donald McEachin said, according to Newsweek. “That’s his call, because I don’t know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that’s obviously an option he has.”
However, one National Guardsman — who opted to remain anonymous — will not be going along with state’s prospective gun control measures, writing a direct letter to McEachin that “we will not comply.”
Here’s the letter, per Law Enforcement Today:
Mr. McEachin, have you ever heard of a little thing called the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878? Apparently, you are not.
Allow me to fill you in.
The purpose of the act is to limit the military branches from enforcing laws against US. citizens. While the PCA does not prevent a governor from calling the Virginia National Guard, the law enforcement capacity of the Guard while on state active duty is full-scale enforcement of martial law when local law enforcement can no longer maintain civilian control.
Are you listening Mr. McEachin? If Governor Northam were to call up the National Guard, it would be through enacting martial law. …
Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions by a government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory.
Sheriffs and police chiefs refusing to go against the Constitution to fulfill your stupid anti-gun drivel hardly constitutes a temporary emergency.
If you and your fellow Constitution-hating hacks continue to push an agenda of gun banning, forfeiture and confiscation, I can almost assure you that you might meet more than one requirement for enacting martial law.
If you force local law enforcement to start violating peoples 2nd Amendment rights by taking their guns, you will wind up with temporary emergency due to an occupied territory.
…
If the state deems that it should enact martial law because sheriff’s, whose only “crime” is standing up for the Constitution, here is what it looks like.
The state Constitution would be suspended. So would habeas corpus and civil rights.
There would be no freedom of the press, assembly or speech.
Curfews would be enforced on the people.
Troops would be in the streets for enforcement.
Checkpoints would be set up for control.
The Guard would have the ability to hold a person without charge.
Imprisonment without representation or due process.
Seeing that we are talking about gun control, there would be warrantless, house to house confiscation of firearms, ammunition, food supplies.
I have to wonder if this is really what Democratic leaders in Virginia want. Because what it equates to is a tyrannical government using its military as ‘enforcers.’
And that is exactly what the 2nd Amendment was created to protect against.
If the Virginia legislators want to push this issue, it could get ugly.
And oh, by the way, plan on seeing the vast majority of the Virginia National Guard become Conscientious Objectors. It will be really hard for them to arrest cops and confiscate guns when none of them will carry the necessary arms to enforce said arrests and confiscations.
How do I know this? I am one of them and will be one of the first to lay down my gun and walk away.
I will not be a pawn in a tyrannical game of human chess. Neither will most of the men and women I serve with.
