Virginia Legislature wants to send the military to disarm you
If there is one upside to TDS, it has caused the Left to go so nuts that forget to mask their true desires for tyrannical rule.
Grope Biden, Cultural Appropriation O’Rourke, and Douche Nuke’m Swalwell went full-tilt into demanding disarmament for civilians. They want to come and take your guns.
Typically, these politicians have shied away from the details of their plan. Pushing the ideas of mandatory buybacks or some such. Stating that law-abiding gun owners will turn in their guns because they are law-abiding. The evidence indicates that law-abiding gun owners are not slavishly law-abiding and will not register or turn over their guns, just because the government says so.
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida with bump-stocks, even New Zealand demonstrated that to be true.
So as the push for a gun ban grows in East California (formerly the Commonwealth of Virginia) from the few big Blue population-dense areas, the rural Red areas have started to declare themselves gun sanctuary cities.
This is a play taken right out of the Left’s playbook, declaring cities, counties, and whole states sanctuaries against Federal immigration law. Arlington County, Chesterfield County, and Fairfax County in Virginia are listed as Sanctuary Counties.
The Left doesn’t like being hoisted with their own petard and is vowing to crush the Virginia 2A sanctuary movement with the most force they can muster.
Va. rep. suggests military enforcement for new gun legislation, National Guard responds
The Virginia National Guard has responded after Governor Ralph Northam said there would be consequences for law enforcement who didn’t enforce new gun legislation.
“If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be some consequences but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it,” Northam said.
A representative from Richmond then said the Virginia National Guard might have to get involved.
“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. “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.”
Send in the troops to do door to door in Red counties to seize the guns and take the Sheriffs out of power. That seems like a great plan that will surely work.
The [current] Adjutant General of Virginia, Major General Timothy P. Williams, released a statement saying they aren’t going to speculate about the use of the Virginia National Guard to enforce gun legislation.
From the Adjutant General of Virginia: "We have received multiple questions regarding proposed legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law enforcement role.

We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard.

I added current because we have seen recently too many retired military officers who become media commentators and military officers turned politicians clamoring for restricting gun rights, including President candidates Seth Moutlon, Pete Buttigieg, and Tulsi Gabbard.
So I suspect it may only be a short matter of time before the Va National Guard AG is replaced by a general who doesn’t respect the Second Amendment and thinks that black rifles only belong in the hands of soldiers… and that it’s fine for his soldiers to use their issued black rifles to take away the black rifles of those petulant civilians in the Virginia boondocks.
The Virginia Guard AG serves at the pleasure of the Governor, and I’m sure a Leftist Blue Governor can quite easily find some civilian hating Swamp-monster General inside the DC bubble, happy to disarm gun owners, to take over.
Virginia Democrats are cocksure over the fact they Virginia has become like California or Illinois, where the Blue population rich bubbles have given them a permanent majority for one-party rule. So they have no incentive not to bring their gun-grabbing machinations to fruition.
