More Virginia counties declared “Second Amendment Sanctuary” status this week in an effort to get ahead of the gun control promises from Gov. Ralph Northam (D) and newly-elected Democrats.
On November 19, 2019, Breitbart News reported that Appomattox County Board of Commissioners passed a “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolution, with the goal of opposing any efforts that would “unconstitutionally restrict gun rights.”
WHSV 3 reports that Giles County and Dinwiddle both adopted “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolutions on November 21, 2019.
Dinwiddle Supervisor William Chavis said, “We have rights to bear arms. Point blank. And our county, we have a lot of hunters, lots of sportsmen that like to sport shoot.”
On November 8, 2019, Breitbart News reported that Gov. Northam responded to Democrat election victories by readying a war on guns.
Northam introduced a number of gun controls following the May 31, 2019, Virginia Beach shooting in which 12 people were shot and killed with guns that were legally acquired. The gun control push failed to survive Republican opposition, but Northam sees hope for more Second Amendment restrictions now that Democrats will be in control.
Northam told CNN he will push universal background checks, as well as bans on “high volume magazines,” bump stocks, and more.
None of Northam’s gun controls would have hindered, must less prevented, the Virginia Beach shooting.

Huddle up into your political ghettos while you beg for what belongs to you, ya pansies.
You don’t deserve them as you’ve proven you’d never use them and support the unlawful statutes rammed up yer bums.
You get what you deserve if you’re gonna be a sissy coward.
Isn’t it so hypocritical that Northam who supports the murder of thousands of babies through abortions is “worried” about the relatively small number of people shot. Doctors kill hundreds of thousands each year in the US now compare that to the number of people shot!! Which do you think they are trying to ban?
‘They’ have the authority to ban neither nor endorse neither.
As long as we continue to look at ‘they’ who are operating an unlawful corporate government to do something we like or not to do something we dislike, we are not even on the paper with the ratified law of the Bill of Rights and the authority of the people in each and every instance to litigate under our jurisdictional authority being the bulls eye.
STRANGE HOW THEY DECLARE NOTHING ELSE IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS…………….YA’LL KIN DO WHATEVER YE WONT TOO….. JES LEAVE OUR GUNZ ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE!! YE CAN HAVE MY LITTLE SISTER!!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
