Virginia declares state of emergency over 2nd amendment rally at the capitol

[DMK]

@Samm

Carrying a gun is not a threat of violence.

Quite so. It is a deterrent to violence in the right hands.

Put one in the hands of ANTIFA, BLM, gangs or criminals? Then, it is a threat of violence.

How do you stop that?

I think the answer is self evident.

Where did I say that?
I said the gov didnt support any gun confiscation and the only bill that included confiscation was killed in committee.

[WCD9973]

You should call the supreme court! Cause they disagree! Cause there are 12 states TODAY that do a universal background check and 13 with Red Flag laws and the courts have upheld EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

You may not actually be familiar with the constitution - but in that constitution - It is left to the supreme court to determine if a law meets the requirements of the Constitution. Soooo - You are factually wrong when you say they are unconstitutional. You may THINK they are. But, as a matter of fact, they are in fact constitutional.

If I have an “assault weapon” and he bans them, what happens to my “assault weapon”?

Serious question - do you know how to use google? The current assault weapons ban being debated (but not yet submitted - hence the lobby day) - Includes not only a grandfather clause - but a phase in period where you can even still get one.

For a issue you care deeply about you should read the bills being proposed.

You didn’t answer my question.

@WCD9973

He has. You can not drive you car on to the capital grounds on monday either.
You can not bring any weapons, shields, bats, cars, or guns.

Cool. At least that makes sense.

@WildRose

Unfortunately I doubt it. I think the Gov’t is hell bent on pushing a confrontation in the hope that someone in the pro gun crowd goes off and starts shooting.

“See, we told you so, time to disarm the public”.

I also think these protesters are idiots if they give the anti gunners the opportunity to score such a PR victory.

No doubt.

With the end result of what?

Can the 2nd be repealed in spite of what may or may not happen in Virginia? Highly doubtful.

@moonshine

Have all the rally’s you want. Just leave your guns behind

I carry mine nearly everywhere. I seldom leave it behind. You cool with that?

Go carry it to the VA capital grounds, see how that works out for ya.

And there it is…

Evidence of a violation is not justification for more violations.

■■■■ the Supreme Court.

@Oldandtired

and gun registries are unconstitutional…

BTW -You are wrong on this. In Heller Vs DC - Supreme court even said Registers could be legal - but a federal one is probably bad policy.

Many states require a private sale happen thru a license gun dealer (Who runs the background check)
6 states require a permit to purchase a gun, even from a private seller. (ANd you need a background check to get a permit).
Stop acting like VA is the 1st state to come up with these “Crazy laws that aren’t constitutional”. There is not a single law that has passed committee so far that hasnt already been implemented, and ruled constitutional, in another state.

Links to these court decisions please.

[WCD9973]

So just to recap.
You have a right to a gun because its in the constitution.

But the supreme court deciding a law is ok - which is their job based on that SAME constitution. Well ■■■■■ EM! What gives them the right!”

Cool

The Constitution doesn’t say the Supreme Court can violate the Constitution. Even the SCOTUS doesn’t claim they aren’t allowing violations. They simply rationalize it away.

Exactly.

Where is the due process here?

@moonshine

jan 20th is supposed to be some kind of prop gun rally in richmond virginia at the capitol

according to the governor there have been credible threats of violence at the rally and so he has declared a state of emergency thru tuesday that bans all weapons from the capitol grounds
In his words the threats are similar to what was happening before the charlottesville rally in 2017.

on the rallies facebook page some people are already saying they are still bringing their guns despite richmonds mayor saying they will take a hard line on weapons

I can see it now.
gun lovers brings his gun. gets arrested. loses his right to own/carry a gun…
Virginia Declares State of Emergency After Armed Militias Threaten to Storm the Capitol

It is good that government thugs fear their constituents. Its a sign of balance in the Force.

[WCD9973]

Google. Im not a law library
I’ll give you a couple just cause im feeling nice.
Heller vs DC -Majorty opinon stated
"Although we do not undertake an exhaustive historical analysis today of the full scope of the Second Amendment, nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms"

(BTW -That was the same decision that said 2a applies to individual citizens. You dont get to pick and choice which part of that decision should apply).

In addition - since Heller -There have been 4 times that Fed Appeals courts have upheld assault weapons ban and the supreme court has let that ruling stand.

Crowds on Demand was not anonymous. Former Jerry Brown campaign boss.

There were also ads for simulating a KKK rally.

People were bussed in.

Virginia also had voters bussed in so Soros dole politicians could get elected
