Things are getting really bad in Virginia. But this group isn’t going down without a fight.
Well, looks like Tazewell County isn’t going down without a fight. On top of calling themselves a second amendment sanctuary county, they’re also crafting a militia as well. The Virginia county has taken the movement that has swept across the state and added an element that is sure to trigger pro gun-grabbing politicians in the state.

It's an excellent idea. In accordance with a GRAMMATICAL READING of the 2nd Amendment and the understanding of our founders, counties or States can simply declare "the whole people" or all adult citizens to be the militia. Such a proper understanding of "militia" would also RESTRICT the Federal Government to its enumerated delegated power "for governing such PART OF THEM as may be EMPLOYED IN ITS SERVICE." (Article I, Section 8.15-16). Reiterating that RESTRICTION is why the main clause of the 2nd Amendment mandates that "the right of the People shall not be infringed." --Ron W
ReplyDelete"the whole people" or all adult citizens to be the militia.
DeleteAmen.
Time to load up with UHF 400-470Mhz Walkie Talkies that have 5 to 8 watts. The Governor is talking about shutting down the commercial comm grid before he sends in National Guard.
ReplyDeleteThe state commander of the NG is an appointed position. It is not earned and the appointee can be a newly enlisted buddy of the Governor but he also may be a graduate of the War College. If he is a graduate of the War College he will diplomatically tell the Governor to pound sand as he must support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That is best case scenario. I can see field officers and NCO's refusing to follow illegal orders.
Hopefully and we shall see see, it looks like.
DeleteAnd the Sheriff can tel either to go to hell.
DeleteRE: the Governor taking control of electronic comms, I think he'll have a difficult time when the fedgov forbids him to do so. What, will the Governor declare martial law? hahaha
Again, the Sheriffs can tell him to pound sand, and defend by force.

DeleteExactly.
