VA Dems Drop AR-15 Confiscation When 1000s of NRA Members Show

Virginia Democrats withdrew an AR-15 confiscation bill Monday after thousands of NRA members showed up to oppose new gun controls.

I am happy for the Virginians but have no further comment on the NRA.

 

[Apeman]

I'm happy for them too but I wish they had rammed it through. If he didn't enforce it then Northam would be a bitch. If he did try to enforce it then he'd either get bitchslapped by the courts or people would fight back. I don't want to see anybody get hurt but this could've been the tipping point we've been waiting for.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Maybe the dems aren't quite as dumb as they portray themselves.

 

[Robin]

Well, thats' one. They have a shit ton more coming down the pipe. If that's what it takes, there will be some busy Virginian' till the next election cycle and they can unselect some of the democrats. But then, between voter fraud and the empty headed voter that still thinks "well my Democrat is different" and pulls the lever for another dispicable socialist will some how work out for them, it may not happen. Look at out shit hole.

My wife read under one of her 100 news feeds the anticipated crowd was 150k+. Holy F. That would be a sight for sore eyes right there

They dropped that bill because they expect the wing nuts will protest, go home, realize they have a mortgage and a family, and calm down.

The Demrats in VA have control of both legislative chambers and the governor's mansion. They'll pass stuff once the "hue and cry" dies down a bit, especially registration laws. They are not going to pass up this opportunity.

withdrawn but not gone, just to take some heat off as they "compromise" and pass all the other crap. it will be back

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^what he said, these assholes are cunning and will deflect the heat, until the "gun-nuts" go away, then they will come back and pass all this shit when no one is looking

 

[Uzi]

They were planning to use the outright gun confiscation as a tactic to withdraw from when needed so the gun owners can feel like they've won something while they continue to push additional bills which have a higher chance of passing right along, which is currently working. The protests had nothing to do with it, but they're all glad you thought it did.

Let the people think their voice was a factor in their decision making.

So when legislation is enacted, the citizens should preform armed marches down every main st. in anytown of every sanctuary co.

A fine example of Breitbart’s continued shit reporting.

Did they ask each protestor for their NRA membership card?

Or did maybe the NRA kick a few bucks their way to say that nonsense.

You mean like in the middle of the night under some phony message of necessity.

Thank god for Breitbarts then. otherwise you wouldn't have shit to complain about.

I'm glad someone else is seeing the writing on the crap pile.
Until they withdraw the registration Bill, the neutering Bill, and any other Bill that infringes, they are just using the withdraw of the confiscation Bill as a ruse.
once everyone registers, neuters, etc., they will wait for the public eye to blink, or look away, then ram through confiscation. The added benefit is now they'll know (theoretically) who has the guns they want to steal.

 

[96coal449]

Bets?

This Richmond gun ban becomes temporarily permanent.

I see compliance rate with the registration or licensing requirement to be in the low single digits, if that.

They aren't going to get a list to go door to door with.

I wish you were wrong but I know better. This isn't over.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

It's never over. Never will be.

 

[subsonic]

No, no, no, no, no.

They are dropping the original bill in favor of HB961, which prospectively bans the very same guns, while requiring current owners to REGISTER, be investigated, and flagged in law enforcement criminal databases. No new sales, builds, bringing in, or disposal in state is allowed.

If NRA or anyone else thinks HR961 advancing in favor of the total ban is a victory, then fuck 'em. And register nothing.

Their first order of business was banning guns in the capitol (including for lawmakers), now the governor is banning guns in the public square and declaring a state of emergency. The rolling shitshow is underway, and I suspect none of those Democrats know what they are dealing with.

For my part I am staying far away. I'm a Yankee. I have my own fish to fry. If Pennsylvania goes this way I will be there, because it is my birthplace and my neighbor.

I liked your post with the exception of this. We should all be involved at some extent. VA is the domino of wide spread anti gun legislation. Even queen ape face ( sorry @Bigfoot ) is watching. I cannot attend myself but support all I can. I donated to VCDL ...... Bloomturd donated 2.6mil. They could use all the help they can get.
