Virginia county passes resolution emphasizing ‘right to a militia’

WaEx:

Local leaders in a southwest Virginia county have approved a resolution placing emphasis on citizens’ rights to form a militia and disavowing gun control measures expected to pass through the state legislature next year.

The Board of Supervisors in Tazewell County approved on Dec. 3 two resolutions according to local television station WJHL.

The first resolution declared the county a “Second Amendment Sanctuary,” mirroring an effort displayed by several other local municipalities fearful of strict gun control measures that could be handed down from the Democratically-controlled state government in Richmond.

That amended says the county would not devote county funds to “any effort that would infringe upon its citizens’ Second Amendment rights.” read more

  1. how about a ‘Constitution’ sanctuary?

    … including sanctuary from stupid SCOTUS decisions … like allowing the National Firearms Act of 1934, or any other infringement on the Constitution & the 2nd Amendment

  2. The Libtards are a few steps ahead of us as usual. It won’t be the National Guard coming. It will be some damn alphabet agency with Mercs. Probably some of them foreign. Virginia deer hunter better learn the concept of high cover quickly.

  3. Lots of trees in Virginia. Food for thought.
    A dozen or so years ago a murderous crazed man
    was shooting people in a MD county, a lot
    of which is wooded though the county was a fairly
    developed place. He was hunted for weeks by police
    choppers using thermal vision. He knew
    this and stayed in the trees. Even though the
    weather was cool, they never saw him.

  4. Any law more restrictive than the 2nd Amendment is null & void.

    If the federal government would just override states and communities, there wouldn’t be any of this to worry about.

  5. “Gun control” is absolutely essential to tyranny.

    Not simply as a means to foil resistance, but by criminalizing and demoralizing the peeps. No criminal can seriously object to his internment (or interment). Under every flavor of socialist tyranny (Fascist, National, Inter-National, Soviet, Chinese, NoKo, Yugoslav, Cuban, &c.) every citizen is either an actual or a potential criminal – simply by existing.

  6. In 18th century parlance, all male citizens able to take up arms already constituted “the militia”.

    Ignorance of this fact counterproductively spreads disinformation and bolsters incorrect legal arguments against the Second Amendment. (“Well-regulated militia” means practiced not some organized group subject to “regulations” of the government.)

    According to The Constitution of The United States, that is already the case. Maybe it’s not just the street soldiers that are “misinformed”?
