'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution, National Guard deployment if police don't enforce gun controlDemocratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard. After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law. Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond. Over 75 counties in Virginia have so far adopted such Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in the commonwealth, the latest being Spotsylvania County. The board of supervisors voted unanimously to approve a resolution declaring that county police will not enforce state-level gun laws that violate Second Amendment rights. Virginia Democratic officials, however, already say local law enforcement supporting these resolutions will face consequences if they do not carry out any law the state Legislature passes. “I would hope they either resign in good conscience, because they cannot uphold the law which they are sworn to uphold, or they're prosecuted for failure to fulfill their oath,” Democratic Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly told the Washington Examiner of local county police who may refuse to enforce future gun control measures. “The law is the law. If that becomes the law, you don't have a choice, not if you're a sworn officer of the law.” McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary. “And ultimately, I'm not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” he said. “That's his call, because I don't know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that's obviously an option he has.” Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring blamed the numerous Second Amendment resolutions in the state on the “gun lobby” as a tactic to frighten state residents. “The resolutions that are being passed are being ginned up by the gun lobby to try to scare people. What we’re talking about here are laws that will make our communities and our streets safer,” Herring told CBS 6. “So, when Virginia passes these gun safety laws that they will be followed, they will be enforced,” he added. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...yment-if-police-dont-enforce-gun-control

Just to put things in perspective, there are 95 counties in Virginia. 75 of them are now 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries. Damn I’m proud of those people

If they " nationalize the National Guard" would it not be under Federal control then?

I'll bet there are more than a few National Guard members who are a bit nervous!
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Does that also apply to sanctuary cities?...Hypocrites...I didn't think so.

Who do they think comprise the national guard?
I bet more rural that city types who probably take seriously their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. A quick read will find the 2A.
Good luck with that idea.

So the Bolsheviks will resort to bloodshed. They must feel a sense of urgency to get the people disarmed. When in history did this happen before???

VA. Army national guard is comprised of +/- 7500 troops State troopers have a total of +/- 2100 troopers and agents. 9600 total. I'm betting MINIMUM 1/2 of those are on our side. Leaving 4800 tops.
We had 3500-4000 pissed off people show up to the board of supervisors meeting Wednesday night to demand we be declared 2A sanctuary and a lot more stuck out on the highway unable to get in.
They couldn't come close to taking HALF of Rockingham co. alone, much less the state. Northam better think long and hard.... He wants a war he'll get one. I'd hate to have to guess how many rounds of ammo are stored in this county alone.

i seem to remember something about the military, in that they do not have to follow an illegal order.. Then there was the nuremburg defense at the end of WWII, "i was just following orders." It didn't cut it then, it doesn't cut it now. one eventually has to make a choice as to which road they are going to follow.

Walking in the meeting at Spotswood last week one of the local deputies i know was working the door. I leaned in and shook his hand and said we have y'all way outnumbered ( mostly joking at the time) . His reply was if it came to it he and most of the ones he had spoke with aren't enforcing anything. Guess we'll see.

That’s what the oath is all about. 2A is part of the Constitution. To violate a part is to violate the whole. The oath doesn’t pick and chose. We can’t either. Or shouldn’t. DF

[bleep] in Richmond better blink because there will be no registration and sure as hell no confiscation. Registration is for felons and pedophiles. Law abiding citizens don't register with anyone, especially some liberal [bleep] that thinks it's ok to deliver a newborn still alive then murder it..... If it happens, I hope everyone remembers it was funded by a New York billionaire trying to push his globalist agenda.

No one wants bloodshed. But Virginians are drawing a line in the sand. Black Face Ralph is poking a sleeping grizzly. He has no idea the sh*tstorm about to hit him n his looney liberal friends.
