National Guardsman: "We will not comply" if ordered by Virginia governor to arrest police, confiscate guns - News Break

— Yesterday, I read an article written in Law Enforcement Today entitled “The Law is the law”: Dems threaten to deploy military against cops who refuse to enforce gun laws.

i hope he deploys them and they arrest his ass treason .. wouldn't he technically be there chief in command and place in a military trial and then .....???

 

[Marine Cpl]

It was all talk. The Governor was never going to use the National Guard. What was he going to do? Have the Guard illegally search every vehicle on the road and every house in the state?

You guys fall for the rhetoric.

Looking like VA will be ground zero for the next civil war.

The last one ended there, might as well start where it left off.

He was going to use the gaurd in his words not to take guns but to make the police enforce the laws and to remove those who weren’t going to enforce the law.

Oh I get it!! A Guard with a gun behind every copper.

Remember, the Liberal Progressive Democrats are not against guns. They are fine with guns in the hands of government agents who will enforce their edicts. Those Liberal Progressives simply do not want firearms in the hands of free law-abiding citizens who might choose to exert their natural rights and oppose centralized tyranny.

No military trial for civilians; our system is purpose-built to have a civilian as the overall head of the military chain of command. This dude is not a soldier.

My Magic 8-Ball foretells 2 events arising from this entire debacle as it unfolds:

Media Circus

Political Disaster

The governor of Virginia keeps writing checks with his mouth that his political capital can't cover, marked Non- Sufficient Funds.

And apparently, he doesn't have the brains to pound sand in a rat hole, because he keeps threatening to make matters worse.

If he thinks the good people of Virginia are just going to roll over and stand in line offering up their firearms as sacrifices on the altar of "Public Safety", I think he better lay off the crack pipe.

How very soviet of them. Stalin would approve.

 

[Deplorable Me]

I heard a rumor Santa's sleigh was picking up a load at Target Sport for VA this year.

Now What? An armed march On Richmond in defiance of the law is a given. He can kill the bill, or be humiliated on national TV and in the press. His Officers wont enforce the law making him the biggest laughing stock since Andrew Cuomo.

Well, obviously they do have something in common.

They're both legends in their own minds.

Predictions (from someone who did not correctly predict the 2016 Presidential election):

1. Virginia Democrats will pass their version of the SAFE Act. Virginia will have the same firearms regulations as New York. Except, perhaps, for pistol licensing.
2. Virginians from most of the state will rally against the laws and push for repeal.
3. The Democrats running Virginia will allow an extended registration period so that "assault weapons" can be retained by law-abiding citizens.
4. Virginians will register a lower percentage of "assault weapons" than New Yorkers.
5. Virginians in blue districts will no longer bring their unmodified MSRs to ranges.
6. Democrats, promoted by Bloomberg's dollars, will become emboldened.
7. North Carolina will be the next southern state to see Virginia-style "common sense" gun control measures.
8. Police in Virginia will not make any SAFE Act arrests. But, they will heavily advertise all SAFE Act violations that they find violated when criminals are caught for other violations (just like New York).

Virginia just converted to Dem majority.

There is a follow up possibility to what you have said.

All that happens, but next election cycle Dems get their ass handed to them and the crap gets repealed.

That has a peculiarly Stalinesque symmetry to it.

THAT would be wonderful. It would be a real game changer in this march towards 2A infringement.

However, Northern VA is unlikely to lose its population dominance in VA politics. Liberal Progressivism will probably continue to dictate to the greater VA land mass the way NYC dominates NY state.

 

[meketrefe]

In that article I dont find any official declaration from the national guard or anything other than the writters opinion.
If so, I would suspect by now it would be in fox news too. ???

 

[SmallGameAddict]

I just pass along bits and pieces that I stumble across, or that are passed along to me by friends and family.

A lot of ppl I know are watching this closely.

 

[MothMan]

Might be on deck!! Butterfly says she is up for a trip to Richmond in January.

 

[RooftopKorean]

Virginians need to step up and remove people like Gov. Blackface from office. Virginia is closer than they realize to becoming a shit hole like the Peoples Republic of New York where a few major cities fuck up the entire state for all the legit and hardworking citizens.

There is a huge rally planned for Jan 20 ( VA Lobby Day) by the VCDL ( Virginia Citizens Defence League) at the state capitol in Richmond . Its posted on a few sites with threads on AR15.com, FB and others.
They had almost 3000 people show up to various county Board of Supervisors meetings where votes were taken to enact 2A Sanctuary Zones so they're expecting ALOT of people , both from VA and nationwide, to participate.

The NRA recently announced that they are having a rally on Mon Jan 13 in Richmond.
Im not why the NRA is putting one on the week prior to the other previously scheduled rally.
Does not look like a positive thing and there are many opinions about it, none good.

 

[Jsmegs77]

The NRA supports gun control. It's a counter to the VCDL rally, hoping to appeal to the fudds and left leaning individuals. Who would expect less from the group that brought us the GCA 1968?

WLP needs to buy a new suit and make a show lol

 

[Acer-m14]

The NRA supports gun control because it gets all it's money to fight gun control.

If gun control suddenly became a non issue (one way or the other) the NRA would shrivel up and die.

Just like illegal drug dealers need drug laws to stay in business, the NRA needs the ever present threat of gun control.

How much money do you think the NRA raked in from this Virginia thing ? Do you really think they want to stop it ?

they could still be alive with training , safety what is it eddie eagle .. but it would be a small piece of the pie and WLP couldn't buy a new tie ..

Its not really fair to call him Gov. Blackface since he never confirmed that was him. He could be Gov. Klanhood too.

 

[holdover]

If it's not stopped in Virginia, Its going national. There's nothing to stop it. If the people don't stand up , its over. Once they know they can break the law and get away with it They will do it whenever it suits them. The constitution is dead .
