CIVIL WAR 2.0: RED VIRGINIA TELLS BLUE VIRGINIA "HANDS OFF OUR GUNS"


You can no longer have politics in a country that is as polarised as America is, and, in the wake of the crass Democrat attempt to impeach the President, it may be too late to restore civility. 

In fact the cracks are beginning to show and grow into yawning chasms. The latest one runs straight through the state of Virginia between urban blue counties and rural red ones that are rejecting the Dem-controlled State government's latest gun-grabbing attempt.

As reported by the Washington Examiner:

Stirred awake by Democratic proposals to take, register, and possibly seize their legally obtained weapons, Virginia gun owners in just 43 days have pushed 90% of the state’s counties to become gun “sanctuaries,” the latest three on Monday night.

Since the Nov. 5 election that gave Democrats control of Richmond, an “organic,” pro-gun movement has prompted the governments of 86 of Virginia’s 95 counties, as well as 15 towns and cities, to adopt some type of sanctuary language, putting Gov. Ralph Northam and other liberals on notice that their gun control plans aren’t welcome.

“I did not think it would be that high of a number,” said sanctuary advocate and Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins.

“It’s an organic thing that just took off after Election Day. Elections have consequences, and this is the result. This has truly rocked the conservative, libertarian group's core. It has really shook a lot of them awake. They are fully awake,” he told Secrets.

Remarkably, the effort has not seen a big push from the National Rifle Association. Local groups, notably the Virginia Citizens Defense League, have led the campaign that has brought thousands of gun-rights advocates to county board meetings.

It has also become the national model for the movement that has now reached Illinois, Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, New Jersey, Florida, and Tennessee. Illinois is credited with starting the movement.

“What’s happening is Virginia is becoming a national story and model,” said Cam Edwards, editor of Bearing Arms and a national authority on gun laws.

Really, the way America is going these days you'd have to be insane to give up your guns. I mean, the possible food shortages that might be caused by political chaos could require you to do a lot more hunting. Stock up on ammunition too.
