Take a look at the VCDL web page. Virginia Citizens Defense League. They have been out front leading and at the back pushing this effort along in VA for a couple months now (since the dims/libs/progs/socialist won a majority in the VA state legislature and prefiled gun control laws that will make California and New York look like a gun owners heaven).
https://www.vcdl.org/In the last few weeks they've been the driving force - along with the people of the counties/cities/towns in over 110 counties/cities/towns declaring themselves either 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries or Constitutional Counties. It's getting pretty warm here in VA.
Some of the bills prefiled would make assault weapons illegal to own - no grandfathering, just get rid of them or turn them in.
Make it illegal for you to train your children to fire guns, hunt with guns, clean them, work on them, etc., etc., etc.
Make it illegal to have a get together with friends where you do innocuous stuff like have a cook out and then shoot guns at targets.
It goes on and on.
When some of the county Sheriffs said they would not enforce such laws in their counties the dims/libs/progs/socialist in office and preparing to take office declared they would have the county Sheriffs arrested/removed from their positions and arrest/detain any other county officials that participated in such protests of the new laws they hope to pass. They've discussed bringing in the VA National Guard to enforce these proposed laws in the small rural cities/towns and counties. They've threatened to cut off the usual state funding of Law Enforcement Departments, schools, road repairs, etc. in the counties that declare themselves 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries.
The talk/threats are getting louder and harsher.
The work goes on in those counties, towns, and cities that have not declared (2nd Amendment Sanctuaries or not) yet and more Board of Supervisors meetings are scheduled. Some previous BoS meetings in some counties/cites have drawn more than 1,500 2nd Amendment supporters. One was reported to have 3,000 supporters show up. People are pissed off right now.
The VCDL typically sponsors a Lobby Day meeting with the state legislators each year in mid January to allow people to talk directly to their state legislators in the admin/office building those folks work in. This year other groups are advocating showing up in full gear/weapons out in front of the building (sort of the center of Richmond, VA) to give the dims/libs/progs/socialist an idea of what a few thousand armed and upset VA citizens look like when their standing/shouting/looking at you from rock throwing distance. That is not a VCDL thing, that's just a bunch of people who feel they are being threatened by their government.
Anyway, take a look at the VCDL web page for reports on what has happened. A look at what is planned for the Lobby Day. And news of developments as they occur that you will not see in the MSM.
Yes, I'm a fairly new VCDL member (joined last year at a gun show).
And yes, wouldn't it be great if this spread to all the states?
