To gun owners in other states, Van Cleave’s message is clear: don’t get complacent.
“Don’t think this isn’t coming to your state,” he warned. “They’re looking at Virginia as a test case. What they’re doing here, they’ll do in Kentucky, Texas, Florida, and North Carolina. We all have to stand up and fight. We can’t run to another state. This is a movement to disarm us.”

^^ THIS !!

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

The Vast Majority of Virginian's are Very Pro Gun! If we had an Electoral College here, we would not be in this big mess! The Problem is this: Northern Va ( Densely Populated) is VERY Liberal (Government Employees! ) Then you have the Coastal section, Liberals and High population, then you have Richmond, High Population Liberals.
But, 90% of Virginia's Counties are Rural and Conservative.
This past Election, too many Gun Owners did not vote. Sad, but true! We must defeat these bills on a Grassroots level.

My kids both live within a mile of Arlington Cemetery - right in the middle of the swamp. A growing problem is that with the Amazon center they are building in Arlington, gentrification is going to be a huge problem for conservative middle class homeowners as property values skyrocket. The yuppies that are flocking in from Cali don't drive cars or buy houses, they live in high rise apartment buildings and walk to work, and take Uber or the subway whenever they need to go somewhere.

The Bill of Rights in the US Constitution does not GRANT rights. Rights cannot be granted by man nor governments. Instead, the Bill of Rights affirms natural, inherent rights which we are all born with. It is the duty of any government to protect these rights above all else.
