The Virginia thread

Next year, Democrats will control both houses of Virginia’s state Legislature as well as its governorship. On November 18, State Sen. Dick Saslaw introduced a bill that he will sponsor in the 2020 legislative session. That bill will outlaw not only the sale or transfer but also the possession of certain firearms.

Saslaw’s bill — SB 16 — provides that “It is unlawful for any person to import, sell, manufacture, purchase, possess or transport an assault firearm” and makes such actions a Class 6 felony. (In Virginia, Class 6 felonies are punishable by imprisonment for between one and five years.)

SB 16 provides that a wide range of center-fire rifles, pistols, and shotguns are included in the definition of to-be illegal firearms:

1. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;

2. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle; (iii) a thumbhole stock; (iv) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (v) a bayonet mount; (vi) a grenade launcher; (vii) a flare launcher; (viii) a silencer; (ix) a flash suppressor; (x) a muzzle brake; (xi) a muzzle compensator; (xii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a muzzle brake, or (d) a muzzle compensator; or (xiii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (xii);

3. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;

4. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a thumbhole stock; (iii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) the capacity to accept a magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (v) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the pistol with the non-trigger hand without being burned; (vi) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; (vii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a barrel extender, or (d) a forward handgrip; or (viii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (vii);

5. A shotgun with a revolving cylinder that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material; or

6. A semi-automatic shotgun that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a thumbhole stock, (iii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the shotgun, (iv) the ability to accept a detachable magazine, (v) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of seven rounds, or (vi) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (v).

Thus, every rifle of the common AR-15 design and a great many pistols and shotguns in common use for personal defense, target shooting, and hunting would be banned.

Not only would they be banned, but because SB 16 makes it illegal to possess such firearms, they also would have to be either surrendered to or seized by police authorities in the jurisdiction in which they are located.

RE: Gun confiscation bill passes in Virginia

Unconstitutional, but there's the tricky interim period between it being legislated and it being struck down (theoretically, though who knows these days).

The Virginian Democrats are really pushing to ignite a civil war. Is this TDS or some part of the elite's strategy?

Well it hasnt passed, but sure looks like it will. Agree will be struck down, but some men I know have bought several rifles as the market value will be going way up as this moves along. Northern Virginia controlling the entire state is a huge problem.

I see a lot of right wing paranoia over this, about how the governor will set up roadblocks and cut off peoples' electricity in an attempt to take their guns away. If this bill passes, which is likely, there will be a court injunction against its' enforcement until judicial review. This bill is most certainly unconstitutional (SCOTUS has been ruling in favor of gun rights for the past 10 years or so) and will be found so. That will be the end of the story on this.

Trump has used the distraction of impeachment as a golden opportunity to appoint lots and lots of Federal judges. For example, the 9th circuit court was turned conservative last well. This, of course, is good for the 2nd amendment.

@Leonard-

Look at some of the Us veterans groups discussing this online.

TLDR is that they’re so delusional that they actually believe everyone in the military is going to just blindly enforce this and don’t understand that the National Guard ARE those people with the huge assault rifle collections.

I keep hearing this and other "military is on OUR side" comments but I'm not so sure. why would they risk their livelihood if Virginia is not even their home state?

The left is doing a Trump move. Big ask with a three pronged assault rifle ban, red flag laws, and gun registration. With the push back the left will moderate their stance so only one of the laws is enforced and abandon the other 2 for the time being. Wait until other states turn blue and do the same. Then push for more gun restrictions until you get mandatory gun confiscation situation like Australia had. Today's Americans will line up to hand in their guns as it is the "right thing to do". Prove me wrong America.

The Virginia National Guard is comprised of Virginia residents, most of whom are from the red parts of the state and are the exact people that these laws are aimed against.

Gun confiscations, mass shootings (they're all fake), and the Democrat party all seem like the biggest advertisement for gun companies.

The same people that own the gun companies own everything else in our Jewed out society.

What a cohencidence.

Most people already give away their children's' future to avoid being called a racist, and can't handle even the smallest hint of discomfort... And you're telling me these same people are going to lead a revolt against the government? Or face a court martial?

Please.

I doubt the elites are scared about taking guns - that's just a cope from gun owners and likely disinfo to make people feel like the country is on the right path as we get looted and genocided.

I keep hearing this and other "military is on OUR side" comments but I'm not so sure. why would they risk their livelihood if Virginia is not even their home state?

Yeah, the military isn't on our side. No government employees are on our side - can't serve two masters. I take it a step further: I generally don't trust military/government veterans, especially the career guys - it's often a cover for intelligence at worst. At best they're the kind of guys that will gladly inform on you.

I'm sure southerners in 1860 thought that the US military would never kill an American. Well, they did. That was with a 100% American military, too!

People will do anything when faced with a court martial. Though the military rarely needs to take things that far; soldiers are trained to blindly follow orders.

RE: Gun confiscation bill passes in Virginia

As ably spoken by someone who hasn’t been in the military.

It isn’t a binary equation. The reality of the military that most don’t quite grasp is that there’s a huge gap between the officers you see on TV because those are the sycophantic, toxic assholes who succeed I the bureaucracy.

The careerist types actually would. If you get a more inflamed situation there’s a fairly significant chance that most of the people who actually do the fighting (company grade enlisted and non-careerist junior officers) would refuse to comply and there were some units in New Orleans that did not do so.

Everyone says that in peace time. Things are often different when you're facing a court martial. But yes, I'm sure a lot of the white soldiers would defect in an extremely inflamed situation AND with an actual resistance movement that could support them (very, very important). At the moment, resisting will simply get you put in military prison.

That one unit in NOLA, by sheer coincidence, was a military intelligence unit from Utah. They probably put the story out to show that you can still support the troops.

They don't even bother hiding it anymore.

Here's the Staff Sergeant's interview with Oath Keepers.

RE: Gun confiscation bill proposed in Virginia

I made my guess clear in the CW2 thread. Make laws. Threaten raids. People thump chests about resistance to raids. Raids never happen but laws remain. No resistance because no raids.

If the idiots try and enforce this stuff violently then I expect the police and the military will fall in line but do their job half-assed at best in the hope that the citizenry will vent their wrath on the legislators rather than the jackboots.

Hopefully people have stopped being idiots and can see past killing thousands and thousands of fellow patriots rather than dealing directly with that tiny handful of tyrant traitors.

I do not think you could find a single officer in the US military who would disobey an immoral order. Remember just a couple of years ago when the US Army bombed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in Afghanistan and shelled it for a long period of time with C-130's, all while the docs were on the phone to Army HQ asking them to call it off? After some face-saving press conference, the Army sent in some tanks to demolish what was left of the buildings that were still useful for treating patients, which was the essential problem because those international docs treated everyone and anyone who asked, and did not refuse "terrorists".

Is the Virginia or Texas or [fill in the blank] national guard any different? I seriously doubt it. All those state guards have been incorporated into the globo-homo military and done tours, and either participated in or had to silently witness atrocities of some scale or another, which does corrupt and compromise you.

The soldiers will follow orders.

Outside of the major cities, maybe some police forces would disobey. Maybe.

Ascendant empires always find willing executioners and assassins. I've heard first hand accounts of some of the fucked up things US troops have done to foreigners and those weren't draftees either.

The problems arise attempting to find those executioners and assassins in a descendant empire where there's little reward and lots of risk. There's no such thing as "going home after your tour" when you're tasked with killing people inside your own borders. Inevitably some will and some won't. All of us were young and dumb enough at some stage to be hoodwinked into shit like this if we didn't have anyone to tell us better.

My guess is that the brass are busy drawing up long lists with names like Sanchez and Garcia to press into new outfits. People that will have a considerably diminished empathic response with the Virginian locals.

Goodman and Smith will be used alternately to quell uprisings in non-white areas after enough Garcias and Sanchezs come home in body bags.

Never forget that population control, particularly against alpha male warrior lines, is one of the elite's primary goals. That's one of the main reasons for all these pointless foreverwars where the whole budget gets spent on a few planes while the grunts get to ESAD just badly enough not to give the game away to the next bunch of glory seeking fools.
 
RE: Gun confiscation bill proposed in Virginia

Every person in the military takes the following oath:

"I,____________, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God"

Furthermore, you are NOT obligated to follow UNLAWFUL orders in the military. A lot of people seem to think you HAVE TO follow all orders. Not true. Only LAWFUL orders.

The way I see: If someone orders a military person to violate a citizens 2nd Amendment rights, that military person is perfectly within their legal right to disobey that order.

Here's hoping someone is brave enough to take the first step and hold the line when the moment comes.

RE: Gun confiscation bill proposed in Virginia

Regarding the video above with Steward Rhodes of the Oathkeepers and the sergeant who refused to confiscate guns in Katrina, that sergeant is not part of Oathkeepers and the refusal was during a flood without much pretext for the confiscation. Before and since we have seen extensive examples of more compelling pretexts of shooters and terrorists, and there are other slightly larger scale scenarios that have been rehearsed and exhibited in the past 30 years that they could use to help persuade soldiers to follow orders.

Maybe I missed it, but I really have not seen anything from Oathkeepers on active duty refusing immoral orders. I do not have substantial expectations for them to be an obstacle based on what they say, nor on the 3%rs, etc.

What are they waiting for? You can refuse an immoral order on a lot of occasions. I'm not trying to shame them or Rhodes, just saying that this is typical of what you can expect in the future for active duty military refusing orders. It will not happen. Or really, if it did, they would simply be court-martialed quickly, in secret if necessary, and replaced with willing Americans or foreigners.

Globo-homo and its military are ready. The enemy is fully prepared. I do not believe physical resistance is the solution because it is impossible for us to organize and there are very few people who will actually stand.

I think the God pill is the only solution. Like the Bible says, we fight principalities and dark forces, ie., not people. In addition to guns and butter, prepare by becoming a soldier for Christ.

Someone should have told that to General Sherman and his men when they burned Atlanta, and a decent amount of Georgia's infrastructure, to the ground.

Also, what happens when they change the definition of terrorist to include conservatives? Or anyone that opposes the government? The gay agenda? Owns a gun?

That would make them a domestic enemy (terrorist), and therefore it would be a legal order.
