He's a huge hunter, but not much of a gun-toter. Keeps talking about getting his license. I tease him about it all the time... "Your sister has hers. Already had to renew it twice."

Would be good to have a warm place to stay if I need to go to Richmond.

Let’s compare notes after the New Year...I’ll be in VA visiting the son and family starting tomorrow. I have a meeting set up with a federal LEO friend who lives in VA...he is furious and is counting the days to his retirement.’

And to those who might believe a compromise allowing current owners to keep their weapons is realistic, read this please...

Last I read somewhere, to get grandfathered would require registration.

“In this case, the governor’s assault weapons ban will include a grandfather clause for individuals who already own assault weapons, with the requirement they register their weapons before the end of a designated grace period,” Northam spokeswoman Alena Yarmosky said in a statement Monday evening.

And the leading pro-2A group (VCDL) has said that is also just as unacceptable as the original idea...

To quote the VCDL President “Who are we to negotiate away the rights of future generations for our own benefit?”

“And ultimately, I'm not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,”

"Nationalizing" the Guard would put them under the President's control, not the Governor's. Trump might have the stones to do this if the Governor gets froggy.

Just so we speak clearly, because that idiot in Virginia didn’t, calling up the National Guard is done in one of two statuses...

1 - the governor calls the Guard to state active duty...the state pays the full bill and the governor maintains full command authority.
2 - The Guard is “federalized” through a mobilization order...the governor has no command authority and the guard becomes part of the active duty Army for the duration of the mobilization.
