Yes Virginia, They're Really Coming for Your Guns...

I wonder what might happen if Democrats get their way and guns are outlawed.  Or even certain guns.  And attempts at confiscation then ensue.  

And people with guns...are sent to the homes of people with guns...to confiscate the guns...of the people with...guns...

Let that sink in...

We all know that the thousands and thousands of anti-gun laws in our country are focused exclusively on law-abiding citizens.  We know that because criminals don't obey laws.  That's why they're called criminals.  Duh!  They just ignore them.  As if they didn't exist.  Because for them, they don't.  

The Bottom Line is:  Only law-abiding folks obey laws.  Those who ignore the laws will not be affected by any new ones you might wish to shovel upon them.  Got it?

So the more than 25,000 anti-gun laws we now suffer were enacted solely to limit and frustrate the actions of those self-same citizens who enjoy the iron-clad protections of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and would like to enjoy them.  And the alarming current trend toward new and even more restrictive...or even confiscatory...laws are beginning to cause a backlash.

One can only imagine why these Liberal-types are trying to so hard to disarm America, at the very same time they're trying to empty our prisons of hardened criminals.  Maybe they think we'd be more easily managed? 

Just imagine:  Every single Democrat candidate for POTUS 2020 has stated that they are planning to outlaw certain firearms if elected, and perhaps confiscate them.  Despite SCOTUS rulings that guarantee each American the Right to own and use a firearm,*  the Democrat candidates intend to ignore them.

They ignore the Constitution quite often, don't they? 

What do you think citizens might do if a law enforcement officer shows up at their front door to seize their firearms?  Oh yeah, some will comply.  A percentage would of course comply.  But a percentage would not.  Let me lay out a scenario for you.  What would armed law enforcement officers...members of the community, all...do if sent to seize their next door neighbor's guns?  Maybe the same guy they go hunting with?  Or attend church with?  Or maybe work...for!  And maybe those charged with enforcing them are just tired as Hell of having a bunch of unconstitutional laws stuffed down their throats and intend to plant their feet?  

That same scenario is playing itself out right now in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  It's just elected a Democrat-controlled legislature for the first time in over 30 years.  And under its gun-hating (but abortion loving!) Democrat Governor Northam, who's quite fond of appearing in Blackface, it has just outlawed, and intends to confiscate under some sort of "buy-back" program,** what it calls "assault weapons."  It hasn't defined "assault weapons," but it intends to confiscate them.  And the legislature just voted to set aside $250,000 to cover the costs of jailing scofflaws who refuse to hand over their legally-bought, legally-owned and legally-used AR/AK-style semi-automatic rifles.

Let me throw a little factoid into the mix right here and now:  Virginia's lefty government does not know who owns what guns (because the forms one much complete to legally purchase guns in America is destroyed after 30 days, per current Federal Law).  So it doesn't know where to go to confiscate them.  It will have to demand, via its new laws, that its citizens march right on down to the sheriff's office and hand them over.  Or at least register their ownership prior to attempting to fight the confiscatory order.  And if they don't?  Hmmmmm...  

Virginians don't much care for these new laws.  So much so that more than 91% of its counties and cities, some 118 so far, have declared themselves "2nd Amendment Sanctuaries."  And their sheriffs have stated flatly that they will not follow their legislature's orders regarding unconstitutional gun seizures.  I simply cannot wait to find out how this unfolds.  

BTW, if cities and counties and states can declare themselves illegal immigrant "sanctuaries," as more than 250 so far have, including the dumbass state in which I'm currently held hostage, then those same locales can surely declare themselves gun rights sanctuaries, right?  

We've told by some that so-called "assault weapons" must be outlawed and seized.  And that's even though long guns of all types are used in less than 3% of all shootings.***  That's unacceptable, they tell us.  Did you know more people die each and every year due to fists and clubs than due to long guns of any type?  

Let me pose a scenario for you:  Even if only 3% of all legal gun owners refuse to turn over their guns to the authorities and mount a defense, a bullets-flying defense, a blood-spurting defense, a knock-down, drag-out defense, how many people do you think might die as a result of that stupid, ill-fated effort?

BTW, 3% of our gun owners constitute more than 10 million people!

Consider this as I head out the metaphorical door.  100+ Million Americans own more than 429 Million guns.  You do the math.  Perhaps we should all be investing in hospital stocks.  Or maybe J&J for bandages.  We're going to need plenty of hospitals and bandages once the confiscation effort begins...
