VA Dem wants National Guard to enforce gun control on 2A sanctuary counties

[pramaglia]

Wasn't it the Democrats who started the last Civil War and then lost it?

To your first point, I don't know. People have a limit. They might take it, take it and take it, until they don't. People do have moral thresholds and preverbial red lines. I understand the analogy of the frog in slowly warning pot, I don't think we're the frog in that scenario. I just think people's lives haven't yet been affected enough to where they make the calculated decision that it's time to take a big risk and do something. Someone here posted this video before and I think it's an appropriate point to make in. This discussion. (Whoever posted this I forgot sorry)




And on rallies- this is just my opinion but most people don't think they will really accomplish much and people are busy with work, family, obligations etc.. the right isn't much for rallies. We're busy with lives and responsibility.

I'm pretty much saying rallies are useless even if they make those which attend them feel important and special.

Many of the keyboard warriors that haven't faced or ever lived with heavily restricted gun control laws that have built up a false sense of invulnerability to gun control legislation will not be willing to start rounding up their "troops" in militias and kicking politicians doors down just because they're from the state of VIRGINIA.
Even if some asshole off his meds did, it's not going to spark a civil war. We will continue to resist, but the country is too far gone, and with how soft and stupid people are, as long as they have their iphone and facebook, these things aren't priority of importance to them. I have family active and retired in the military in Virginia, and they know there's nothing they can really do other than the same shit we've tried everywhere else. Maybe it'll work though at some point, that's why we don't give up on trying.

Only thing positive about this is at some point the states will slip up and we will have a very strong case to bring to SCOTUS

The frog in the pot analogy is fatally flawed.

A real frog in a real pot usually does in fact jump out when the water gets too hot.

Whether we're collectively at least as smart as a frog remains to be seen.

You can allow the water to get pretty warm, as long as you can still get out.

It's when you sit there so long that you can no longer get out that you're screwed. And that does occasionally happen to people.

That's why the 2A is so important. It's that critical ability to get out of the hot tub that matters. Once that's gone, it's too late.

The Democrats are going to guarantee that only criminals have guns. This will not make America a safer place. The Democrats have a mental illness called "lack of logic". Criminals do not follow laws or submit to background checks or respect gun free zone signs. It is not just Virginia that is at risk of losing it's Second Amendment right to protect yourself and your family. The entire nation is at risk. The Second Amendment has nothing AT ALL to do with hunting. So don't fall for that line that you do not need an AR-15 to go hunting. You need the same thing or something better, than your adversary has.

This x1000000

I try to repeat this often to others.

We can't allow the 2a gun debate to be framed by the left of "were not infringing on your right to hunt.." the 2a has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. Hunting isn't a right protected by the Constitution.

The left is trying to distort the intent of the 2a and make it appear to ignorant voters that it's something it isn't

I would even go one step further. The next time a lefty or FUDD says an AR15 is a weapon of war and we don't need those on our streets, we should just own it and embrace it. Standard issue military rifles are EXACTLY what should be protected by the 2a.
