Virginia declares emergency Militias threaten to seize Gov.

[Ethel mermania]

There is more to the State government than just the Governor.

The National guard aren't relevant Trump nationalized them and sent them to the Mideast.

So do you think the president will be packing when he addresses the rally?

Sarcasm works better when what you say is actually plausible.

Well, given that there are plenty of non-Jewish urban liberals who thumb their noses at the people they think of as peasants, there's no reason to make the correlation to Judaism beyond anti-semitism that I can think of. And since you declined to provide one, well you know what they say about ducks and hand grenades

American Jews are essentially a race of urban liberals. I can't believe that's somehow a surprise to you.

As a gun owner and a rapid supporter of the 2nd amendment, the above person doesn’t speak for me.

In fact, because the rise of anti-semitic sentiment, I would encourage more Jews to be armed.

The Hasdic community is far from Liberal.

Indeed. In fact, Hasidic communities are responding to the rise in anti-Semitic attacks by arming themselves. Jack just can’t help but hide his hatred of Jews.

[LiberNovusAmericae]

I think this is mostly trumped up nonsense to be used to partially or completely suppress a protest.

They are a minority of jews. Just the most identifiable ones.

[Jack Thomas Lang]

The Hasdic community is far from Liberal.

And they're far from being representative of the Jewish population. They make up something like 5% of the global population.

Jack just can’t help but hide his hatred of Jews.

I don't "hate" Jews. I don't feel a visceral need to mark them out as inferior or have hounded by the government or public.

Dude, you made a blanked statement about Jews. Own it.

I mean ben shapiro exists. He's annoying as hell and only looks smart when compared to an SJW but he's definitely not an urban liberal

Common tactic by the government. Portray people that you don't like as extremists and then oppress them while taking everyone it's for "security"

[Aclion]

Yep. Basically an excuse to ban firearms in the capital the day gun owners are planning to protest, in other words a ban specifically targeted at an assembly because of their opposition to the governor's proposal. This is a government trying to subvert democracy in order to push through a law that 91/95 counties oppose so rabidly they have barred their law enforcement from enforcing it.

You need guns to hold a peaceful protest?

The protest includes open carrying as an identifying symbol of protest. This is equivalent to passing an anti mask law ahead of a Guy Fawkes mask protest.

Virigina just passed the ERA as well.

You’re more than capable of understanding that wasn’t the point of what they were saying, Vass.

That's not the point

[Diopolis]

I did finally find something about gun violence and economic inequality that shows that a far more effective way of gun control would be to simply reduce income inequality to the point that less people commit suicide, murder, or other crimes of necessity.

https://zachmortensen.net/2018/02/20/yo ... -one-will/

And their solution is to reduce income inequality to reduce the causes for gun violence....

That sounds pretty leftist right?

Boom.

You don't have to ban guns

While I certainly have issues with the stated objective, I would agree that improving people's lot in life and thus reducing the desire to commit violence is certainly a superior alternative to ham-fisted gun bans.

Daily reminder that the US’s white firearms homicide rate isn’t being an outlier. It’s high, but not off the charts like the overall gun death rate(which is mostly suicides and a black homicide rate on par with Latin America- blacks of course owning the least guns).

[San Lumen]

Looks like terrorists to me.

The governor and his cronies? You're totally right, I hope they will be arrested for trying to subvert the constitution and enforce state terror against their own people.

That’s not what they are doing. The governor wants to prevent a repeat of Unite the Right. Whose going to arrest him?

[San Lumen]

Dirt and crops don’t vote

Tyranny of the majority is still tyranny

How is this a case of tyranny of the majority? The current legislature was elected on a platform of reforming gun laws among other things by getting the most votes same goes for the executive. If a sheriff or someone in a small town doesn’t respect their authority tough

Which is unconstitutional. The people have a right to peaceably assemble. This isn't Europe.

No, he's trying to silence opposition to his ideas. Unite the right was a bunch of nazis, whereas he's worried about someone having a peaceful rally

His motivations are the same as those of a gang of antifa rats

No one is stopping them from protesting. All the Governor is doing is taking steps that it doesn’t turn into another Unite the Right. Northam is within his rights and doing nothing illegal
