Democrat lawmakers on Capitol Hill say local police who do not enforce gun control measures likely to pass in Virginia should face prosecution and even threats of the National Guard.
After November's Virginia Legislature elections that led to Democrats taking control of both chambers, the gun control legislation proposed by some Democrats moved forward, including universal background checks, an “assault weapons” ban, and a red flag law.
Legal firearm owners in the state, however, joined with their sheriffs to form Second Amendment sanctuary counties, which declare the authorities in these municipalities uphold the Second Amendment in the face of any gun control measure passed by Richmond.
Over 75 counties in Virginia have so far adopted such Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in the commonwealth, the latest being Spotsylvania County. The board of supervisors voted unanimously to approve a resolution declaring that county police will not enforce state-level gun laws that violate Second Amendment rights.
Virginia Democrat officials, however, already say local law enforcement supporting these resolutions will face consequences if they do not carry out any law the state Legislature passes.
“I would hope they either resign in good conscience, because they cannot uphold the law which they are sworn to uphold, or they're prosecuted for failure to fulfill their oath,” Democrat Virginia Rep. Gerry Connolly told the Washington Examiner of local county police who may refuse to enforce future gun control measures.
“The law is the law. If that becomes the law, you don't have a choice, not if you're a sworn officer of the law.”

Let's hold Democratic lawmakers to the same standard. When the break the law, prosecute them and imprison them. All of them!
Resign or enforce an illegal law is not a legitimate choice.
It is no choice.
One cannot enforce a law (Statute) which violates the Supreme Law of the Land - the US Constitution.
Statutory Law is not Constitutional.
Finally, many people are going to be forced to learn the truth about American Mafia Government.
It is a criminal enterprise controlled by elite banking families of European decent.
Time for a BUS TRIP TO VA
Huge majority of counties..95 total in the state.. they really should take the "subtle"hint that they should perhaps reconsider...
AND so it begins.
They do know that the president has to mobilize the national guard right... AMD even then they cannot be a law enforcement entitity.
So who exactly elected the buffoons that don't understand the constitution of the United states. The second amendment is not negotiable.
We need this here on Easternshore. Come on Mike and the two other counties, get behind us and really show everybody your support. Let's make this happen! 2A STRONG!
Mike has been real QUITE in this 🐤🐣🐓🐣
TICK TOCK CIVIL WAR.
