State of Emergency in Virginia

[Robinjopo1]

What are your thoughts on the Governor declaring a atate of Emergency so he can ban guns in the Capitol on Monday.

Is it a trial run to see how the deplorables will react? It should be scaring the hell out of Americans.

From what I can determine, there were credible threats of violence from out-of-state wing nut groups.

Then they should go after those groups and make sure nothing unlawful is occurring. Not take away everyone's constitutional right!!
Complete communists bullshit! That governor needs to be removed! No one should allow there 2nd amendment right to be removed from them peacefully. If that governor thinks he can, he is perhaps dead wrong!

Glenn Beck is trying to broadcast from VA next week. He has people from there calling in today. They are scared that their rights are being stripped.

One lady was talking about people from Liberal states moving there and voting Liberal which is changing the state.

Same thing happening all over. They ruin their state then move and can't figure out that it's the Liberals they are voting in that's changing their tax rates, etc. Not too smart.

I don't remember any exceptions in the Constitution for "State of Emergency." And hell, if there's an emergency, then that's when I'm most likely to be in danger so I'll most likely need my weapons.

Exactly

Yup!! "State of Emergency" = lock & load, and keep yer eyes open!! Think I'll hang on to the firepower, thank you very much!!

They've done state of emergencies before. I agree it's a slippery slope, and I don't think it's been challenged Constitutionally. I remember Katrina had one (and people then really did need their weapons given all the crimes done). I'd love for this one to go to court. You can argue something like a hurricane might be cause, but this rally is nothing more than politics trying to trump the Constitution. We'll see...

Isn’t the ban just on federal property during this white supremacy rally? I actually agree that leaving
The guns in the car or at home during a highly charged event like this probably is a good idea. You can’t take a gun into a concert or sporting event either. I don’t see it as a big deal.

A--- It is NOT a white supremacy rally. It is an anti -gun law rally. Your words portray your liberal ignorance. Too blind to understand and too unwilling to learn. When they take your guns and then you other constitutional rights, who will you blame then.

Here is another video showing just how stupid these gun laws are and how they are being abused.

You are right, I had heard it was a supremacy rally mistakenly. It is a pro gun rally. The controversy came up when some white supremacy group was talking about shooting during it. The gun ban is only for the area around the capitol, which is where the event takes place. So again, I don’t see it as any different as having to go through a security checkpoint at a concert or other event. Liberal arrogance has nothing to do with this, just misinformation. There are plenty of things worth taking a stand about in the world, a temporary ban of firearms at a controversial gathering dosent rate high enough for me to get my panties in a wad....

It went to the state Supreme Court and they upheld.

Temporary is tricky Brent. How many taxes have states had so that they could do this or that and they never rescind the tax. Same slippery slope.

The stupid Liberal mindset is the fact you did not do your homework but simply repeated Liberal dogma about it being a supremacy rally. That narrative fit with your mindset so you stupidly passed it on as fact. If you really gave a crap about the constitution and the 2nd, amendment then you would have bothered to get the facts before spouting Liberal B.S.

As far as I have been able to find, it was a circuit court judge that refused to issue a stay and not the Supreme court of Virginia. As for the gun restrictions and the the plans to box all the demonstrator into a small area and require them to pass through metal detectors. How do you think this is going to play out with the thousands of folks that plan to attend. The governor is panicked and is setting eh stage for violence. As usual the Liberals have passed unconstitutional gun laws and now are afraid of the citizens.

You wear "panties?" OMG!! Say it ain't so!!!

When I work outside in the Summer, I wear men's boxer shorts. Very comfortable.

 

[Robinjopo1]

I read somewhere it was State Supreme Court sorry if I am wrong.

Antifa is coming and they will try to start trouble and blame the Right. That is their usual M.O. and the MSM follows along.

 

[grayghost668]

I will just wait and see what happens,,,,it's not my state and even if it was the feds will not care what the public wants anyways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,in the end if there ever is a ban they will have to come to the house and find what I have,,,at that point I will be outside the law,,,

Lol. I heard a joke about a guy in the gym was changing and his buddy saw his lacy panties he had on. Of course the buddy was shocked and commented what up with those! The guy responds with yeah, ever since my wife found a pair like them in the back of my car I’ve been wearing them.....

On the other side of that coin I hear half truths all the time from the far right daily on the news. I don’t know why it’s so hard to see that the misinformation and hatred is equal on both sides. All I am certain of is the constant bickering and hatred just perpetuates the divide which isn’t good for any of us.
