Virginia is a Second Amendment powder keg with liberals threatening to light the fuse in January. Democrats take control of both the state’s Senate and House of Delegates next month for the first time in 24 years. Radical-left Governor Ralph Northam is in place and giddy with the prospect of transforming Virginia into a gun-free, progressive utopia.
The left is calling it “common-sense gun safety legislation.” But citizen militias are exploding in numbers across the state and law enforcement officers, military service members, and citizens are vowing: “I will not comply,” to the perceived declaration of “war on gun owners.”
Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League characterized the reality facing law-abiding residents there, in a letter he wrote to VCDL members.
Shortly after the November 5 elections, Virginia Dems declared immediate gun control measures would be enacted when lawmakers begin their new session in January.
However, a grassroots backlash has been building ever since, to include an astounding wave of local citizen involvement resulting in 114 state counties and cities declaring themselves gun sanctuaries. A recent map of those sanctuaries (shown in green) was tweeted out by Van Cleave.
Liberals are unfazed by the growing opposition to their gun control plans. “I don’t think there’s anything to be afraid of,” Northam told reporters, according to The Virginian-Pilot.
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, issued a warning that the sanctuary resolutions had no legal standing. “It is my opinion that these resolutions have no legal effect,” he wrote.
