Does this bode ill for Virginians, especially the Liberty-living kind?
Absolutely.
Should we fret over it here? That depends on us, and how we react to it.
Hear me out; when we talk about draconian gun control, it's always California, or New York, or Illinois, or Connecticut. Some far away Left Coast or Yankee Progressive shithole where it's just expected and wholly unsurprising.
Now, it's at our doorstep.....in the former Capital of the Confederacy, no less. It's here - and I, for one, think it's a good thing.
The mask is coming off, the time is close at hand to determine whether these United States remain the Land of the Free or just another home of the enslaved.
All the Fudds and fence sitters will face a choice. So, too, will all the rest of us:
Free Men or slaves.
Citizens or subjects.
We, the People.......or They, the State.
Tough choices. Consequential choices.
But a choice that WILL be forced upon each and every one of us.
I would encourage all of you at the line, with friends on the northern side of it, to provide refuge for those too timid for defiance, but not so timid as to give up their Arms.
So it's time for all the gun owners in the Carolinas to hang together.... because I hope everyone knows the alternative.
Could lose reciprocity with VA, wouldn’t be able to carry there any longer. That would suck.
Draconian laws depend completely upon the willful compliance of the People. They don't have the resources to enforce the law in the face of mass disobedience. This, too, is a choice.
