Amazing power battle shaping up in Virginia over new "gun-control" laws

Last month Democrats won control of both chambers of the state's legislature.  Dems already held the governorship with Ralph Northam, so after they won complete legislative control their first order of business was to pass a set of laws demanding gun owners register their weapons or face jail time.

"But you are instructed to agree, citizen, that these laws do NOT violate your rights under the Second Amendment, because we didn't demand that citizens surrender their guns to us.  So...shut up."

Well...something interesting happened:  86 of the state's 95 counties declared themselves "Second-Amerndment sanctuaries" and stated they wouldn't enforce the new state laws.

Ooooh, that was unexpected, eh?  What to do, what to do?

So one week ago--December 12-- Gov. Northam vowed "consequences" for counties that refuse to enforce the Democrats' new "gun control" laws.

Shortly after that a Dem congressman from the state, Rep. Donald McEachin, suggested Northam might use the National Guard to either seize weapons or force county officials to comply with the new "gun control" laws.

This sets up a fascinating power battle:  Either the Dems press on with their demand to effectively erase the Second Amendment for Virginians, or they must find a way to back down from their new laws.  Or the governor can simply live with the sanctuary counties refusing to enforce the new laws.

Have you ever seen power-grabbing Dems back down before?  Yeah, me neither.  Similarly, it seems unlikely that the Dems will simply ignore the refusal of 86 of the state's 95 counties to enforce the new laws.

Interesting.  I suspect that the Lying Mainstream Media will try to ignore this developing situation, unless the counties surrender to the Dems.
