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?”

“People talk about the impatience of the populace; but sound historians know that most tyrannies have been possible because men moved too late. It is often essential to resist a tyranny before it exists. It is no answer to say, with a distant optimism, that the scheme is only in the air. A blow from a hatchet can only be parried while it is in the air.”

“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.

I am glad I am not the only one who caught that error. I was thinking the governor might activate the gaurd to collect the guns and then the president might nationalize them to stop it.

But every time I see or hear Democrats talking about the police or military actively confiscating our weapons, I am reminded of the saying about those who don't learn from history. Our nation was started because of the military trying to take weapons. I would really hate to see it end for the same reason. In truth, I don't want to see it end at all but I am getting surer and surer that we are on the brink of another revolution and I have no idea how to prevent it from happening. Well, no acceptable idea because I cannot roll over and play dead for the extremists in the government (on either side) who want to change our way of life.

'The law is the law': Virginia Democrats float prosecution and National Guard for police who fail to enforce gun control legislation

McEachin also noted that Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam could call the National Guard, if necessary.

“And ultimately, I'm not the governor, but the governor may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law,” he said. “That's his call, because I don't know how serious these counties are and how severe the violations of law will be. But that's obviously an option he has.”

Once again, democrats demonstrate that theirs is the party of fascism. I don’t have a ton of respect for the GOP, but I positively HATE the democrat party.

In response to the wave of proposed anti-gun legislation in Virginia, many of its cities and counties have declared themselves Second Amendment Sanctuaries. One county, in particular, took it a step further at their December 3rd County Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting.

In addition to passing their Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolution, the county also passed a Militia Resolution. This resolution formalizes the creation, and maintenance of a defacto civilian militia in the county of Tazewell.
