Virginia Is Proving Just How Impossible It Is to Enforce Gun Control









Virginia Governor and Michael Jackson aficionado Ralph Northam has made his state ground zero for the gun control debate, and it’s already blowing up in his face.

He and his fellow Democrats came out guns blazing (pun intended), calling for not only a ban on so-called “assault weapons,” but confiscation of everyone who currently possesses one.

  2. Unless your buddy Carl is willing to give up his paycheck, his retirement benefits and the healthcare for himself and his family he will arrest you in a NY minute just as sure as if you had robbed a bank. If you resist it becomes a "him or me" situation and he will shoot you. That's his fukin' job! He's a cop. We're not talkin' speeding tickets here.

    2. You are right. We are not talking speeding tickets. We are talking Liberty and Freedom!! Screw Carl and all who are like him. A tyrant is a tyrant regardless of the magic uniform they wear!! You are either on the side of the Constitution or you are not!! If all of this plays out (I pray that it does not!)then there are no ROE and no quarter given!!
      Remember there are a lot more veterans than there are active military and LEO's. They didn't forget their oath's. They didn't forget how to drive the tanks and man the machine guns!!
