Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, known for his blackface yearbook photos, and aggressive abortion support, is in favor of gun confiscation if “assault rifle” owners don’t sign a special registry. The Governor who was given a pass for his past poor behavior by the Dems sadly now has the power to attack Gun Rights since Virginia’s General Assembly is now dominated by the Democrats. But Economics Professor Walter Williams warns that Virginians should be wary of signing any registry.
“In an attempt to appease citizen resistance, Northam suggested there would be a ban on only the sales of semi-automatic rifles. He would allow gun owners to keep their current AR-15s and similar rifles as long as they registered them. Otherwise, they must surrender the rifles.
I’d urge Virginians not to fall for the registration trick. Knowing who owns what weapons is the first step to confiscation.
Northam further warned: “If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I’ll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.”
Some Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say that local police who do not enforce gun control laws should face prosecution and even threats of the use of the National Guard.
Virginians must heed the words and capture the spirit of their two most distinguished citizens, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who wrote the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. These resolutions referred to the federal government but are just as applicable to state governments in principle.
They said: “Resolved, That the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their General Government … and whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”

This is just ridiculous so not only is he not going to listen to the 86 of 95 of the counties that are under him, they are thinking about calling in the National Guard? This is how governments get overthrown. Williams is right, gun owners should refrain from signing a registry as that will only give Northam the ability to pinpoint who to go after. Northam seems to be the biggest threat there is to our second amendment. He is going to be setting disturbing precedents if he goes through with his bans and mandatory registry or confiscation.
these f’ing politicians are out of their ever lovin minds…what they are doing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and ILLEGAL…it is in black and white in the Constitution…be forewarned demoncraps, you are NOT PREPARED for the fallout
I wonder if the State of Virginia will have the money or time to fight the lawsuits that are coming.
The state is not where the money should come from to fight the lawsuits it should be northam and his yellow streak followers.
Of course they will. After all, we were dumb enough to give them complete control of our state government! If they want more money to fund gun confiscation all they have to do is raise our taxes! Haven’t been able to find out if it is true or not, but I did read that he has already set aside a quarter billiion in tax payer money to handle the increased court and prison costs.
When democrats win… You Lose!
Yes it’s that simple, the vast majority in the so-called Democrat party today are Communist
Key phrase in this pre-confiscation scheme that is NOT getting much exposure is “similar rifles” – that would allow governor black face to deem ANY semi auto rifle as an ‘assault weapon’ or some such. Look at WA state – Ruger 10/22s are now so classified.
You are 100% correct. This is how Hitler got millions to turn over their guns. Don’t do it!!
So true! All the gun haters that want ‘assault rifles’ such as the AR-15 banned are ignorant of the fact that the AR is just a rifle…it just LOOKS more scary than many others which are more powerful! But once the AR-15 is made the bad guy and taken away from people, those in charge will start talking about how much more dangerous these other guns are and start the job of scaring people and confiscating those too…until the only people with guns are criminals and government.
Like all dictators they all start by immobilizing their citizens from being able to protect themselves. That is why it is called TYRANNY. It makes easier for these tyrants to then ‘control’ the lives of the people. First step is to remove ALL democrats out of the VA government, and replace with conservative Republicans.
It is obvious that Northam is trying a backdoor tactic on gun confiscation, if he can get people to register their guns, then all he has to do is send law enforcement to their homes and take their weapons. This is amazing to me! It is totally Un-Constitutional. Northam is a pox on this nation and The State of Virginia should impeach him.
HA! We were just dumb enough to elect the man, he isn’t going to be impeached! Those who snuck him into office plan on adding to his crew so they can get their dirty deeds done a whole lot faster! I want to know what they are going to do about people like myself who used to own an AR-15 or other ‘illegal’ gun, but who sold it years and years ago with no way to trace who it was sold to? Private gun sales are legal in VA and when I sold mine, I just placed an ad and off it went to it’s new home!
In 1775, the British marched upon Lexington and Concord to seize our arms.
We shot them.
As you know I’m sure the framers of the Constitution gave us a right to own guns was not only to hunt or target practice, but to protect our Liberties from Rogues like this Communist puppet governor, who is owned by the America hating George Soros, Soros is living proof that money can buy politicians. This phony philanthropist should be put in prison for his crimes against trying to overthrow the government, along with his many paid puppets.
The courts are going to be busy , this son of a bitch should be recalled .
Most Virginia counties have voted to be Sanctuary Counties for the Second Amendment. Most sheriffs and local law enforcement will not confiscate guns. The Democrat governor will not even get voluntary relinquishment by law abiding blacks who live in high crime areas.
I think he was shocked when so many gun owning Democrats iin Northern VA showed up to protest his original gun grab! It was Democrats who threatened to withdrawal their support if THEIR guns were touched! But then isn’t that just like a Democrat? Many VA Dems are gun owners, but when Newsom ran on passing stronger gun laws, but they thought he meant OTHER PEOPLE’S guns, not theirs! Seriously! That is what my Democrat relatives and friends told me to my face!
When it comes to the second amendment, the Federal government supersedes all state laws via the supremacy clause. The second amendment is unambiguous, it clearly states that the right of we the people to keep and bear arms (own and carry) is NOT TO BE INFRINGED. If the state government of Virginia chooses to violate the rights of its citizens, then the citizens have the right to rise in insurrection, and the bottom line will be exemplified by the state motto, “Sic Semper Tyrannus”. Mr. Jefferson once stated that the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants. JMO
That’s why I believe Northam might well be a good thing in disguise for the argument in defending the Bill of Rights by citizens rising up and applying the 2nd Amendment as the Framers intended it to be applied.
The SCOTUS has clearly ruled in DC v. Heller, McDonald v. Chicago, and could again in NYSRPA v. NYC that the 2nd Amendment prohibited the government from interfering in the natural right of law abiding citizens to own and use weapons. It’s time for the federal government to enforce those ruling on ALL jurisdictions.
Revolt. Recall all Democrats.
He is in violation of the U. S. Constitution. 2nd amendment, if he wants to take the guns, he must first repeal the 2nd amendment to the constitution. He took and Oath of uphold the U. S. constitution, and he is now in violation of said Oath. he can now be removed from office, lawfully removed. Wake up people. Don’t fall for this registry shit, just he first step in taken the guns one owner at a time. Removed him for violation of his Oath.
The Dem Traitors in DC HAVE to have Northam go through with the gun confiscation. The citizens of Virginia live too close and once the populace wakes up and realizes what the elites have done to We the People, HEADS WILL ROLL!
The left has copied the the Islamic belief that all who are against them are infidels. Lying, cheating, bearing false witness all ok. The infidels must be crushed.
Hell, maybe the National Guard in that state feels the same way most LEO’s Sheriffs and gun owners do Then WTF will he do impeach them?
The problem is that many people. in both state and national positions, who would defend our right to own a firearm are paid by the government and when people cannot feed or keep a roof over their families head, they will do things they might otherwise NEVER do!
I’m wondering why the hell the Republicans don’t educate these nit wits who are against GUNS, to the fact that according to a supreme Court of the United States, passed a law in the mid 1800’s that it is NOT local, County, State and / or Federal Law Enforcement’s JOB or RESPONSIBILITY, to protect any individual’s property. family or person.
Check it out folks most politicians don’t have a clue. Individuals are personally responsible for the SECURITY of their
property, families,and themselves. The same “Alpha Hotels” who want to deprive tax paying voters who pay for them to have personal security, ie, Secret Service for POTUS, VPOTUS and their families even after they retire.
They seem to think we only count when we pay Taxes and VOTE otherwise we don’t deserve self defense.
Semper Fi
I’m sorry but we’re supposed to obey gun laws while Cities and States are ignoring Immigration Laws??? and how about murder(Abortion)? that’s so commonplace these days people don’t even connect to the fact that a fetus is a human…but it’s still murder! The second amendment is there so that we can defend ourselves when government goes too far. And to do that we need weapons to match what the government has. It’s just “Common Sense”
A law that is unconstitutional isn’t a law
Enforcing an unconstitutional law is an illegal act, you are breaking the law. If they pass a law that says you can kill black people would that be legal? I don’t think so even if Virginia says it okay. What a f-ing joke
Gun owners must sign a special registry for their weapons. Funny Hitler made all of the Germans sign a special registry and then ordered confiscation. NYC had Legal gun owners sign a special registry and then allowed the registry list to be publish along with their address and suddenly these house were burglarized and the guns stolen.
“Some Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill say that local police who do not enforce gun control laws should face prosecution” —– Didn’t Virginia or at least some of their Counties Declare themselves as Sanctuaries for ILLEGALS ….. there are LAWS on the books that are NOT being enforced……..
HYPOCRITE…..
If I were POTUS, I would send the national guard into Virginia and arrest the POS for defying the 2nd ammendment of the very constitution he swore under oath to uphold. He is no more than a two bit dictator and should be treated as such.
Ralph “COONMAN” Northam is a disgrace to the Virginia Military Institute and to the citizenry of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Even his own classmates believe he has lied to all of us.
The POTUS needs to step in and squash this blatant violation of the Constitution, the governor of Virginia is behaving like some third world dictator, if he gets away with this it’s only a matter of time before other Communist governors do the same thing
This is illegal and does go against the Constitution. If this is illegal, then whose the one that should go to jail?
Virginia was turned Blue by the bedroom counties of DC. I wonder how their success will continue if the other 85 Red counties in the Commonwealth increase voter turnout by 20 or 30 per cent?
Governor baby killer gun grabber is going to make a democrat office holder as rare as unicorns if he dies half of what he says he’ll do. Oh, and good luck with using the National Guard. That’s an organization of patriotic Americans not liberal snowflakes. Hope the media actually covers this socialist takeover.
It is time for the people of Virginia to tell their moronic so called Governor that it is time he packed his bags and resigned and left the state, prior to the new year would be preferable.
northam needs to be recalled as he’s an idiot. Virginia must NOT kowtow to this a$$hat. What’s he’s doing is unconstitutional. “Shall NOT be infringed” says it all.
“The powers of the sword, say the minority of Pennsylvania, is in the hands of Congress. My friends and countrymen, it is not so, for the powers of the sword are in the hands of the yeomanry of America from sixteen to sixty. The militia of these free commonwealths, entitled and accustomed to their arms, when compared with any possible army, must be tremendous and irresistible. Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress have no right to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an American…. The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or the state governments, but where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.” ~ Pennsylvania Gazette, February 20, 1788
The ONLY “national Guard” Specifically NAMED AND ENUMERATED in the Constitution is THE ARMED CITIZEN MILITIA
And the ‘government created’ National Guard, EACH INDIVIDUAL MEMBER TOOK AN OATH to Protect and Defend the CONSTITUTION!
No mention of catering to the metrosexuals pretending to be MEN in elected office.
Happy to register my long arms if Gov KKK comes to my door and is prepared to accept the registration of each item as I send them to him. He may also bring his lackies.
Talk to a survivor of the Holocaust and any other country where they were ruled by dictators. Then decide if you still want to give up your guns. Registration is only the first step. When they know where the guns are they can come after them at any time. Democrats want to have full control over the people of this country and the first step is to take away our weapons so we cannot protect ourselves. Look in your history books while they are still around, because if the liberals have their way a lot of history will be erased. There are a lot of groups out there now that say the holocaust never happened. THINK ABOUT IT!!!
