Gun Rights

Am I the only one who sees the irony in a situation where the state government's leaders are afraid of a large mass of legal, gun owning citizens showing up at the capital steps to protest what that leaders are wanting to pass in the form of onerous gun legislation?

Is VA's governor so blind that he cannot see that the only people who obey any laws are the same ones who are obeying them now? And the only ones who will easily disobey or disregard any new laws are the same ones who easily disobey existing laws?

Shakin' my head over this.

Dumb and blind! Dumb enough to believe that true Virginians will sit ideally by as he whittles away at our rights. Blind if he can't see the writting on the wall in front of him.
 
I'd worry about the libs in Va running a false flag on the day of the protests. By that I mean duping some idiot into firing his gun so that they can ram through even more restrictive legislation.

That is always a concern for something like this. Bloomberg/Soros will be busing in his paid Antifa activists so while I hope for a peaceful protest .....I'm not banking on it. The media will focus on the counter protestors and how they believe all guns are evil.

The only positive is that in today's world everyone has a high definition camera to record events. If will be hard for bad actors to get away with anything.

I would like to believe we can get through this without people on either side getting hurt or killed.

As long as the focus stays on the tone deaf idiots in the State House and how they are taking the State of Virginia in the wrong direction.....it will be okay.
 
Gov Idiot just declared a State of Emergency. Funny, it's a emergency he and the rest of the Dems have caused.

I agree, all it's going to take is one paid shooter from the Dems to light this powder keg. I think that's what they really want to happen
 
You know, if he just stopped and took a breath and thought, “gee my actions are causing a huge crisis in my state. Maybe I should reconsider what I am doing because it does not seem to be the will of the people.”

Absolute moron. The same guy that thought dressing up like he did and taking pictures was a good idea.

... and therein is the real issue. The dems are totally ignorant/unaware/uncaring of their actions as long as the ideological liberal agenda is achieved.

NO!

And yes, he is that blind.
 
From what I'm reading this morning he is afraid of the outsiders groups coming in and starting trouble as they did in Charlottsville. His fear there is legit. Instead of just pushing voters aside and doing as he pleases with our rights, how about just putting together a group of all types and races. Then let them work this out and find common ground and common sence laws that might work.

No this idiot wants to start another civil war in Richmond. Then he can cry "look at what those evil guns did"

All it's going to take is one shot anywhere near that area and the Baltimore riots will look like a picnic outing.

My oldest works on the outside edge of Richmond on the DC side. Her boss has already closed his restaurant on that day and given staff a paid day off. He doesn't want them driving anywhere around Richmond. He one of about 20 I know of that have shut down for at least that day
 
Governor Northam created this crisis. While it is an inconvenient truth.....Northam sold his soul when he was busted wearing black faces and KKK garb in his school pictures. He sold his soul so that the dem special interests groups (NAACP, Planned Parenthood and the anti gun people) would let him stay in office and finish his term.

This is the same guy (former Pediatrician) that said it was okay to kill babies after they are born. Since he got busted....he has backed every single Kalifornia or New York style legislation that he could get his hands on. He is a horrible Governor because at this point he could care less what the people say since Governors in VA only serve one 6 year term. He has 24 months left and he just doesn't care what the population wants or believes in.

What has surprised him and his Socialist friends is the amount of pushback that he is getting over the 2nd Amendment. In his echo chamber.....he was convinced that he could force this on to the people of Virginia and only the "gun nuts" would push back. Monday's protest is about a lot of things including re-writing civil war history, monument destruction and socialist agendas that are engineered to destroy the economics of the State.

While I agree Monday could be a powder keg assembled by the Governor and the dem lead House and Senate......I believe the protest will be without major incident. The wild card is who the dems are busing in to counter demonstrate. If they bus in the Antifa folks.....hopefully the State Police can stop them from lighting the fuse.
 
P.D. I hope and pray you are right but I can tell you by talking to folks around here, they are pissed. They have had enough of being pushed around by a small group of folks wanting to erase history. Now they want to make legal gun owners felons yet do nothing to curb violence.

These outside groups will do nothing to support our rights. They will make the situation much worse. A member asked if I believed there would be problems "shootings" yes, I do, and I pray I am wrong. And I blame our governor and his friends.

I am a family born and diehard Virginian, I have kin on two monuments that they want torn down. Both gave their lives for Virginia, not CSA but for Virginia. They were honored to serve. Duty...Honor...Virginia

I am ashamed of my Virginia

I too was born in Virginia at Fort Belvoir and have lived most of my life in this State. My first wife was a Virginia State Senator so I share your concerns. That said I have seen this movie before. 25 years ago the dems took over all three branches and were kicked to the curb 24 months later. While Northern Virginia has gone seriously blue.....that is the result of of 8 years of Obama and the Clintons paving the road for Terry Mcauliffe to become Governor and push the State further left.

I'm hopeful that Trump wins and the we take back the State in 24 months. Frankly as long as the White Supremacists don't show up....Monday will be the start of turning things around.

Northam and his kind are a cancer on this State. Any time the government sets money aside to arrest law abiding citizens and seize their property....something has gone seriously wrong. Arresting law abiding citizens means that anyone in GOP can win just by supporting amnesty for anyone who is arrested. Even moderate democrats are ashamed of Northam's behavior.

I already know how the press will cover it. I just want to make sure we don't give them the craziness they really want.

There are more people like you and me in this beautiful State than there are like Northam and his kind.

You know the craziness is going to happen. Just look at any of the YouTube videos on the Antifa riots in Portland. They don't care about anything except creating a disturbance and waving their flags in front of the cameras.

Yup!
This is being fueled by the corrupt media as well.
 
I think he might have nailed it.
 
Great speech. All true. I am pretty sure the leftist in the room tuned him out in the first 60 seconds.
