God bless the VCDL, the GOA, and the 2nd Amendment Foundation... So far, these three groups have been the ones doing all of the heavy lifting in the recent years. If anyone STILL have doubts on who should we actually support, the answer is here.

 

[Soulezoo]

Need more judges like that!

Bet ol' .gov is pissed off! Hahaha!

Death to tyrants!

ETA: guess I read that wrong. Piss on her then and Death to Tyrants!!!

 

[stello1001]

We need stuff like this to happen all across the country. It's always good when there is someone willing to fight for our constitutional rights!!!

 

[Mile High Shooting]

The Injunction was denied, the ban is still in place from Fri through Monday

From my view here, I only see things as 'getting worse'..... unfortunately.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

I'm confused, the headline says ,...
Richmond judge upholds Northam’s temporary weapons ban on Capitol grounds

But in the text it says,..A lawsuit challenging Gov. Ralph Northam’s executive order temporarily banning all weapons on Capitol grounds was denied by a judge in Richmond on Thursday.


Upholds means agrees, but denied means just the opposite to me. someone Splain me,...as to me the injunction was denied?

 

[Mile High Shooting]

Injunction was denied, No guns on capitol grounds order stands.

 

[Blue Sky Country]

Just got the update now too...

Shit...

UPDATE: Gun activists appeal to Virginia Supreme Court after judge rejects bid to halt gun ban in Capitol Square | Virginia | richmond.com

 

[stello1001]

Well that sucks

 

[Blue Sky Country]

The statists' fear is really palpable now... Just on the phone earlier with a person to whom I sold a rifle to in 2017. He said that they are really acting as if a hurricane is about to arrive. State of emergency is the headline on almost every public LCD screen...

 

[7.62willdo]

What did you expect? imagine if a judge enforced that injunction and then something happened somebody was shot the governor was shot something along those lines, that would be personal and career suicide and that’s just never going to happen

 

[deersniper]

Should hand out the judges number and home address on lobby day too along with the other tyrants

 

[Rthur]

It's as if they change the rules to abide their wants...

[SD Carpenter]

Screw it, lets go to area 51 on Monday instead and see them aliens

 

[4X4Dad]

There is a hurricane coming . It's called AMERICAN PATRIOTS !

 

[lawofsavage]

lol guys, read the text of the order …

this is a win for all of you that wanted the court to strike down and prevent the enforcement of prohibiting firearms on capitol grounds

this is a loss for all of you that want to get the party started earlier rather than later haha

 

[Jlknights61]

The VCDL/GOA are appealing this to the VA Supreme court.

 

[Rthur]

The VCDL/GOA are appealing this to the VA Supreme court.

If the VA SC were doing their jobs this would have been struck down the day it was filed.
Clearly an infringement of the COTUS and I'll wager VA constitution.
The shit about it having to "harm" someone to make it before the robes is a dereliction of law/duty.

R

 

[lawofsavage]

the media is reporting the injunction was denied which means blackface Northam's executive order prohibiting firearms on capitol grounds can stand

the screenshot of an order that was posted earlier is stating an injunction was granted which would strike down only the firearm prohibition portion of Northam's executive order on capitol grounds through jan 21

I don't want to look for it but does anyone actually have a copy of the full order that was entered

 

[HeavyAssault]

The argument was the ban was only for firearms, not all weapons. Guess we will see where it goes. I think people need to plan on two weeks off, grab some camping gear, and surround the grounds.

 

[Bigfatcock]

I already have poontang lined up in Richmond.

We got enough wetbacks. Don't have to go anywhere.

 

[wilson1911]

I thought this violated the law ?? So no matter what the law states within it, a judge can violate it also ? So a law isn't really law....unless your a top dog who can make things up as they go ? Now if they do not have to obey the law, why should any of us ? Let's not forget the leo's who will be enforcing a law that is against the law. Lastly, why do laws even matter if you can violate them at will ?

I get it !!!! laws only apply to the little people, but not govt !!!

 

[deersniper]

We are getting to the point where people are going to start ignoring a lot of laws.
Like prohibition I guess.

I guess if people treated 34, 68, and 86 like that we would be in a better place

 

[Jlknights61]

VA § 44-146.15 prohibits the otherwise lawful exercise of 2A rights, during a declared state of emergency by the governor, except in those areas specifically deemed for use as a shelter.

Gov. Northam’s executive order specifically names the prohibited area this weekend through Monday a shelter.

While this action clearly violates the intent of the law, it does seem to adhere to the letter of the law.

 

[Jlknights61]

if any court is going to rule on the “intent” of the law it would be the Supreme Court. Though I wouldn’t hold my breath.

And I'll guess the definition of a shelter is whatever they want it to be.

Basically, though 14 acres of green space does seem like he’s playing a little fast and loose with the term “shelter”

Except for the fact that they will lock all of us up. The fact that they still lock people up for weed proves this.

While it meets the letter of the law, what's to prevent the whole state becoming a shelter? This is the problem with lawyers. I've battled this same BS in a civil issue with two of my relatives. They purposely leave holes in the law that you could sail the 5th fleet through. Then you get to the appeal where nobody wants to set precedent. Complete BS. Same here.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

VA is for lovers not shooters

The engineering (gerrymandering) of demographics and voting areas along with the lack of voter turnout in the Commonwealth of VA should be a lesson. My state of RI is next...

 

[105gr]

Join WV and become a 2A powerhouse and let the little VA drown inbthe ghetto they create

Can someone explain to me how taking one's means to protect himself/herself from harm make that person safer???

It doesnt. It isnt about making the people safer. Its about keeping the tyrants, traitors and criminals safe.

 

[deersniper]

Lol @ people that think gun control is about safety.


They probably think .gov takeover of health care and education is about helping sick and ignorant people.




It’s about seizing money and control. Always.

so maybe yall need to go use it as a shelter. bring everything. cots, tents, all your canned meats, the loudest generator you can find and run it full throttle connected to nothing. Its a state of emergency that they declared. and they said that place is a shelter. use it as a shelter.

F-ckin' brilliant !! YES YES YES......

This is what happens when pussies get elected to office. The good people of Virginia should have been more careful of what they wished for.

Where has the NRA been throughout this circus?

Just a thought about the nra throughout this circus.

Their absence is a blessing in disguise. Their diseased reputation and recent public exposure to the spreading of their infections, makes them the pariahs of their caste.

Their absence does not bring their level of pollution to a clean movement by GOA or VCDL. Be glad they are not polluting and poisoning the water.

Their best action would be privately, unseen, financing of VCDL and GOA, rather than bring their level of garbage pollution into the light and damage the present support VCDL and GOA by those who hate nra...

Be grateful and glad the rallying force of 2A Haters is not present to stimulate opposition to VCDL and GOA.... Be very glad.

I have to agree. I have no love for the NRA. At one time, I was the Director of Range Safety at our local club, and one of the requirements for all RSOs, eben the Director, was to have NRA RSO certification. I paid my dues, took the class, and moved on. I was surprised to find out that the certification had to be renewed every year, not with a refresher class, but simply mailing in the required fee. So here is the NRA, holding their hand out for money and offering nothing in return. Sorry, that doesn't work for me.
I'm appreciative of what they do, if anything, but I refuse to give them more money. I have better things to spend it on instead of helping Wayne LaPierre pay for his vacation home
