We’ve been watching Virginia’s turning to unconstitutional edicts concerning Gun Control, now that the State is under Democrat ‘leadership.’ I’m especially interested, as this legislation is nearly verbatim with the PRDofMD’s 2013 ill-named Firearms Safety Act. And like my fellow Marylanders, very many Virginians are furious over this. So much so that there is a movement among the Red Counties to ignore the onerous laws, with even one Sheriff swearing he’ll deputize a couple thousand law abiding gun owners.<\/p>\n
This simply cannot be, and the powers in Richmond are considering drastic action. \u00a0One such individual, a State Democrat Congressman named Don McEachin, recommends the Governor call out the National Guard to bring the offending counties to heel.<\/p>\n
Poetrooper was kind enough to forward this article to us on the subject. read on…<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\nDemocrat Congressman Donald McEachin\u2019s comments about\u00a0<\/span>using the National Guard<\/a>\u00a0to enforce Governor Ralph Northam\u2019s proposed gun control laws in Virginia has caused a storm of controversy in the state, to the point that the Adjutant General of the Virginia National Guard has issued a\u00a0<\/span>statement<\/a>, after scores of phone calls and emails from concerned citizens and curious media figures. WSLS-TV in Roanoke was the first to report on the comments by Major General Timothy P. Williams.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe 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. Please make sure you share this message with your all of your personnel.<\/p>\n 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 encourage everyone to be patient while we allow our elected officials to work through the legislative process.<\/p>\n We have not received any requests from the Governor, or anyone on his staff, about serving in a law enforcement role related to any proposed legislation.<\/p>\n I expect our Soldiers, Airmen and members of the Virginia Defense Force to be professional and respectful in their discussions about this subject. As private citizens, our personnel are free to express their opinions to their elected officials, but they should not engage in any political activity while in a uniformed status.<\/p>\n We will provide regular updates when appropriate during the General Assembly session. Please utilize your chain of command to direct any questions or concerns to my office, and we will do our best to address them.\u201d<\/p>\n For those who were hoping that Maj. General Williams was going to come out swinging with a \u201cHell no we\u2019re not taking anybody\u2019s guns\u201d, it wasn\u2019t going to happen. Even if that\u2019s how the adjutant general feels, he\u2019s not going to pick a fight with the governor if he doesn\u2019t have to. He can kick this can down the road, at least until and if Northam actually requests that the National Guard go into rural counties to look for people who are allowing their 17-year old daughter\u00a0<\/span>to hunt unsupervised<\/a>\u00a0on their property, or to try to catch someone transferring a firearm without a background check.<\/span><\/p>\n Seems to me Richmond is discovering what Syracuse, Trenton, and yes Annapolis have discovered. To paraphrase Andrew Jackson, “They have made their decision; now let them <\/strong>enforce<\/strong> it<\/strong>!”<\/p>\n Thanks, Poe!
