If “Blackface” Northam can negate the 2ND Amendment of the FEDERAL Constitution then States can also negate the 13TH & 19TH Amendments!
————–
We are the only country in the world that has a Second Amendment.
Find one government in all of history that banned it’s own ARMED FORCES from “Keeping and Bearing” ARMS.
Find one government in the history of humanity that felt a need to document a “RIGHT” for it’s ARMED FORCES to possess ARMS.
Oppressive Governments ALWAYS ban the People’S RIGHT to arms.
The claim that the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment to give Our ARMED FORCES a “right” to keep and carry ARMS is S-T-U-P-I-D.
The only reason for the Second Amendment is to clearly spell-out the GOD GIVEN RIGHT of INDIVIDUALS to keep & bear ARMS.
The only reason for the BILL(list) of RIGHTS was to codify INDIVIDUALS’ GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.
Has there ever been a government that was not chock full of it’s “rights” up to and including declaring itself to be the Lord God Almighty?! (Rome, Egypt, Israel,etc)
Does the 1st Amendment mean the GOVERNMENT is allowed to give speeches? Try shutting up any Politician. But THEY would LOVE to shut YOU up, hence the FIRST Amendment.
Anyone who tells you the 2nd Amendment applies to the Army or State Militia, is telling you they think you are STUPID.
There has NEVER been a government that felt it had to codify it’s army’s/soldier’s “RIGHT” to “Keep and BEAR ARMS” because there has NEVER been a government that refused to allow It’s own soldiers to KEEP and BEAR ARMS!
The Second Amendment was written for the People, like the other 9 Amendments in the Bill of Rights. This was confirmed by the SCOTUS in the DC vs Heller decision, where they stated that the “People” in the Second Amendment were the same “People” that are mentioned in the First and Fourth Amendment.
The 2nd Amendment clearly codifies the “right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms”, and certainly not “the Militia”.
Why would “the Militia”, a type of army manned by citizen-soldiers as opposed to full-time “regulars”, need a constitutional amendment to guarantee they have the right “to keep and bear arms”?
Is there any specific statement anywhere in the Constitution that the army Congress is empowered to raise has the “right to keep and bear arms”? Of course not. …………. That is assumed.

the 2nd amendment,, specifies that the RIGHT to bear arms is the right of the people,, NOT the militia,,,, it is the people who will make up the militia,, but the right is not the right of a “well regulated militia” it is the right of the people, We the people were BORN WITH UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, meaning they come from GOD.

… the Bolshevik-Left insists there is NO GOD so they can deny your GOD given RIGHTS.

Hmmm… so very interesting. There may be more at play here than we’re seeing. Once this event received nationwide attention it has the high potential of going sideways quickly because there could be a real threat given the event has gone high profile. My recommendation for VCDL is to emergency stand down this event and plan for continuous but smaller events during 2020. The rats infesting Virginia that everyone wants to say got elected, but we who have researched voting fraud know better will continue their willy-nilly criminal conduct against our US Constitution and the Virginia Constitution so this even won’t stop anything in play. However a continuous protest during the year with various busses coming in at different events could be a better option at this point. I would redirect the protest to ousting the Virginia Governor as he would be the first one out the door, which will make history and then one by one going after each and every delegate and any elected official to remove them from office for violations of their oath. That would be a better offensive than acting like 2nd amendment supporters are on the defensive. Let the removal of them from office show the power of the people to take back their state government from the rascals. And also charge each one as applicable for their violation of oaths and let their own voting record hang them high during the trial. In general another approach is needed that is more kinetic that this protest and more effectual as lawful removal of the criminal element from the Virginia government. Clearly another tactic is needed and VCDL and NRA and GOA and the like should immediately terminate this event. Remember that no plan survives first contact intact.

@JustMe, think of this event as being like a fully-laden oil tanker. Even if tomorrow VCDL or GOA (NRA has nothing to do with this event) said they were cancelling the Monday rally for good reason X, it wouldn’t matter.

The county buses would still show up, people would still show up because they didn’t receive the news, and you’d still get your peaceful crowd numbering in the thousands on Broad St and in Capital Square, protesting the Governor’s unconstitutional actions.

The agent provocateurs will still play their parts, and the media–which have filled Richmond’s hotels, I know, since I tried to get a room and was told the same reason in three locations–will still play out their pre-written anti-2A narrative.

At this point, there is only one thing to do. Whatever happens, repeat over and over until it is second nature this simple meme: it’s the fault of the Governor and the non-VA LEOs he ordered in to subdue his own citizens. His own people.

–> It’s Northam’s fault. <–

Repeat that message over and over again, and never change it. Like the phrase "fake news," hijacked by Trump from the Left, it will stick like glue to this odious, failed Governor and those unknown Dem staffers pushing him into this unbelievable situation. He will be sacrificed by TPTB as the entire story comes out, and he'll feel betrayed because of it. He might even talk and tell us all the real truth.

The governor is a weak man, and can be toppled not by Monday morning's crowds, but by Monday afternoon's words.

Remember…"It's Northam's fault."

And it is his fault, if one rationally thinks about where this avoidable situation began. Use the right powerful and pithy words over and over. Maybe you can even make a hashtag for it.

Are they planning on a manufactured state of emergency to justify bringing in the UN Troops?
On January 18, 2020 at 3:29 pm, Frank Clarke said:

@Bozo: UN troops?? Oh, please, Gov. Northam, please please please bring in UN troops.

The Varmint Hunter’s Association used to award a nice sew-on patch to anyone who could document a “kill” beyond 1,000 yds. They have given away many of those patches. If you can knock off a prairie dog at 1,000 yds, you can make a headshot on a person at a mile. I don’t worry about 190,000 UN troops taking us over by force-of-arms. I worry about where we’re going to find that many body bags in a hurry and what we’re going to do with all those corpses.

“There will be civil war in this country before there is meaningful civilian disarmament. Some days, talking to the anti-gun loons, I feel like I’m standing with a crowd of eight-year-olds, ankle deep in gasoline, trying to keep them from playing with matches.” — from the preface to “Tipping Point”

IF IF IF …. there really is/are U-28 Special Operations Command flying ‘missions’ around Richmond…. someone in the AFSOC must be working with or for the Feds. I can’t imagine any sane SOC commander being okay with using these airplanes this way, even for ‘training opportunities’ ….. because there is sooooo much that could go wrong.

The NOTAM has already been issued to restrict that airspace temporarily, certainly surface to 2000′. Probably a U-28 sniffing for RC freqs to locate drone operators, such craft getting lots of specific verbiage in that NOTAM. These are used throughout the gov with a variety of electronic toys on board and used in host nations abroad in conjunction with DEA counter-drug opns as well. They can be Stingrays, listen to ham freqs, cell freqs, do jamming – all kinds of stuff.

I think a hundred thousand people should show up on Monday, surround the Capitol on every side, and NOT ONE of them enter the cage.

Now THAT would make a spectacular visual.

Governor Northam would be spiting and blowing snot bubbles, screeching and howling how those hateful patriots and gun people didn’t comply with HIS plan.

Oh, and all those super duper good guys in Law Imposement, who are in the vast majority, and would never do such a thing… did exactly what they are PLANNING to do to the People on Monday, back in May of 2015 at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco. Remember, folks, nine people were murdered, at least four of them head shot, and NOT ONE biker was prosecuted for any crime. Who does that leave? Plan accordingly.

The commie left with a LOT of help from deep state agencies are working very hard to turn this into a no win trap for 2A supporters. Show up for this “rally” and SOMETHING bad is going to happen, orchestrated by the left and BLAMED on pro 2A people. DON’T show up and the commie left will crow about how nobody showed up so that must mean their unconstitutional assault on rights is what people MUST want or they would have actually showed up to protest. It’s being set up so that the commie left in charge CANNOT LOSE. Protesting in public…..armed or unarmed is NOT GOING TO CHANGE THE MINDS of the commies in power. Only ONE THING will give them pause…..when leftist commies in office start paying the price on a PERSONAL level for their assault on freedom, rights and the Constitution. They are NOT going to give up, go away or ever stop trying to destroy freedom as long as they are turning oxygen into carbon dioxide.
That means to stop them requires ending their ability to utilize the Krebs cycle.

I’d be surprised if *any* of the legislators or anyone else in the government there next to the festivities is going to be there, except for agents of the State with guns pointed in unsafe directions and bad trigger discipline. So as a day to lobby representatives, it would be a bust. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my bet. I’ll bet there are emails and texts telling people to stay home until the fun and amusement is over with. There’s nothing which prevents people from talking with their representatives on the 22nd, and that’s what I’ve suggested in other forums. If people want to rally, they should save their bus fares and do so locally – 102 separate rallies across the state will have far greater impact – and be a lot tougher to either lie about or black out. The fact that nearly every county in the state has passed a Second Amendment Sanctuary resolution or something similar is really enough to get the message across, if the legislators and government haven’t figured it out, no rally will convince them otherwise.

@David – correction, the country doesn’t grant the right to keep and bear arms. That is a natural right from God that all humans have. The constitution is a covenant that specifies things the fed gov can do, and reminds fed gov what it is specifically proscribed from doing. All gun control laws are unconstitutional. Simple. Any plain reading of the constitution paired with a bit of historical understanding shows anyone not co-opted or infected with a case of the feels, that this is the case. Somehow, the lawyers and politicians have decided that this prohibition isn’t a barrier to their desires to enslave the citizens of the United States. that ~50% of the voting public doesn’t care that they vote in people who will abrogate their own rights is mind boggling. I can see the 10-20% in poverty that are only voting for their food/rent/utilities to be paid by the highest bidder, after all, they live in the now – who cares if they take my rights? I’m hungry now! Besides, I can get a gun off the street faster and cheaper than I can get one legally. The rest, wtf are you thinking? We have so many examples of how a country falls by letting governments disarm their citizens. You think the Jews in Europe wouldn’t like a do over? You think they wouldn’t make every nazi pay with their lives as the initial disarmament actions started? Russia, China, North Korea, Cambodia, and this is just the last, what 70years? Does anyone think it’ll somehow be different here?

The second amendment right isn’t necessarily God given, it is the result of logical deduction that we need guns to protect our actual God given rights such as life and liberty.
On January 24, 2020 at 12:09 pm, Herschel Smith said:

@Luke,

I think your presentation is a bit off. Whether the 2A is God-given or not isn’t the point.

The constitution is a covenant between men. God arranges His creation in terms of covenant in all things: marriage, state/citizens, economics, church, etc. Men make agreements, they live by those agreements, or there are consequences both in time and eternity.

The 2A is a recognition of God-given rights, not the source of them. If it was the source, the right wouldn’t be God-given. The Almighty is the source of all of my rights and duties.

I encourage you to read the following:

https://www.captainsjournal.com/2012/09/25/christians-the-second-amendment-and-the-duty-of-self-defense/

God isn’t just the author of rights, but of duties as well. Ownership of weapons of any kind you deem necessary to protect yourself and home and hearth is the greatest expression of love and obedience to the commandment, “Thou Shall Not Murder.”

John Calvin:

“We do not need to prove that when a good thing is commanded, the evil thing that conflicts with it is forbidden. There is no one who doesn’t concede this. That the opposite duties are enjoined when evil things are forbidden will also be willingly admitted in common judgment. Indeed, it is commonplace that when virtues are commended, their opposing vices are condemned. But we demand something more than what these phrases commonly signify. For by the virtue of contrary to the vice, men usually mean abstinence from that vice. We say that the virtue goes beyond this to contrary duties and deeds. Therefore in this commandment, “You shall not kill,” men’s common sense will see only that we must abstain from wronging anyone or desiring to do so. Besides this, it contains, I say, the requirement that we give our neighbor’s life all the help we can … the purpose of the commandment always discloses to us whatever it there enjoins or forbids us to do” (Institutes of the Christian Religion, Vol. 1, Book 2, Chapter viii, Part 9).”
