House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”

Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

“If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor,” the legislation reads.

The legislation makes it clear that the above provision applies directly to “the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia,” which means this legislation effectively criminalizes dissent against public officials.

Tina Freitas, wife of Republican Delegate Nick Freitas, called attention to this intolerable act in a Facebook post on Tuesday night.

“Wow on cue, now they are after the 1A! Dems are trying to set up special rules exclusive to the Elite ruling class, to protect themselves from criticism!” Freitas wrote.

“What is considered harassment? Is Governor Infanticide/KKK Hood trying to avoid being held accountable? Are we no longer allowed to demand justice for the alleged rape victims of LG Fairfax? This is some straight up communist censorship!” she added.
They're certainly not half-hearted or lukewarm in their desire, are they?
You know you've got them on the run when the "Lord Blackface" moniker gets to them.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,---That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security

Wow that is some seriously BS "laws for thee but not for me" legislation.

Earlier this week, Big League Politics reported that at least one federal informant ordered an act of anti-Semitic vandalism within neo-Nazi group The Base, which was accused of plotting acts of terror at the Virginia Capitol before Monday’s gun rights rally.

Now, The Guardian has revealed that the founder and the leader of the group was a deep state spook who operated a military intelligence firm that likely contracted with the federal government.

SNIP

When Nazzaro appeared on a white nationalist radio show under an alias, he claimed that his aims were “achieving independence, realizing the ultimate goal which is an independent nation state in the Pacific north-west, an ethnostate.” Nazzaro’s activities have provided fodder for the federal government to use to institute their crackdown against right-wing dissidents in the age of Trump.

“We have a significant increase in racially motivated violent extremism in the United States and, I think, a growing increase in white nationalism and white supremacy extremist movements,” Jay Tabb, the head of national security for the FBI, said at an event in Washington recently.

Before he founded The Base, Nazarro advertised himself as a government and military contractor with years of experience in the field collecting intelligence. He is the principal for Omega Solutions International (OSI), a company offering security and intelligence services.
Now, we all know that Trump is the 2A Champ and that we have nothing to fear.

THIS is (reportedly) why there was a CPZ at the VA Capitol on Monday.

Here's an opinion piece about the Lobby Day event.
Other than getting the name of the VCDL (Virginia Civilian Defence League) wrong, it's a surprisingly positive view of American gun owners.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell, Jr. held a press conference Tuesday afternoon to announce their support for Virginia counties to leave their current state and be annexed by West Virginia.

SNIP

Given the fact that the Virginia General Assembly would have to give approval for any county to be annexed by West Virginia, I’d say this movement is more aspirational than practical, but that doesn’t mean I’m necessarily opposed to it. Heck, it would be interesting to see how many of the 91 Second Amendment Sanctuary counties would choose to leave the state if given the chance via a referendum. I’d sign a petition to hold a referendum in my county, but I also plan on spending most of my activism time devoted to electing pro-2A candidates in Virginia this November.

We’ll soon see if the #VAexit movement has legs, because it’s going to take backers of the idea showing up at county supervisors and city council meetings to make it happen. If we start seeing the same type of crowds that were showing up to push for Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions, we’ll know that the support for the idea isn’t just coming from West Virginia lawmakers.
Here's the Presser, and another article.

How about a pasty old white-haired dude with a drawl standing next to a Falwell to combat Bloomberg and his ilk?
The TDS/PTSD must be off the charts heading into this election cycle.

I made it through 3 minutes 20 seconds of this "demonstration"
I simply
COULD
NOT
continue.
Good luck
Virginia House Delegate Mark Levine would be amusing if he wasn’t so serious.

The Democrat who represents portions of Alexandria, an area just a short row down the banks of the Potomac River from Washington D.C., held a town hall to explain what his bill, HB 961, would do. It would be easy to mistake his pantomime for a comedy sketch. Except, that is, he’s acting out every misnomer and stereotype of a lawmaker who doesn’t know the first thing about the firearms he’s attempting to outlaw.

I just watched it. Painful. Joker would have been better off sticking with "Guns are bad and need to be eliminated. End of discussion." If you're going to be the poster child for a position, at least educate yourself enough to not look stupid while defending your position.

He cannot educate hisself to not look stupid no more than a Ford car cannot look like a Chevrolet.

The degree of stupid is the most worstest, willfully stupid; moreover, willfully to a politikkal position of subjugation of the citizens.

These are the intermediate steps ; changing words meanings, twist, spin. Subjugation is the towards the end of steps.

While ammoland did a good job of pointing out the real facts, the sad fact is hard core anti gunners don't care about the truth, they mainly care about the emotional argument. I think I heard a lawyer say once if you have the facts for the jury pound home the facts, and if you don't have them pound the table, or something like that. This short link below is probably the best representation of how anti gun politicians feel about inconvenient things like "facts" when it comes to gun issues.
