Everybody loves local control when they run towns and counties and their opponents hold federal or state offices. It works in reverse, too, with presidents and governors denouncing rebellious officials who won’t follow dictates from the state or federal capital.
So it is in Virginia, where Democrats who dominate the state government are upset that local prosecutors and police decline to enforce new restrictive gun laws they justifiably view as unconstitutional and dangerous to their constituents’ liberty. …
Localities technically don’t have the same constitutional protections against state mandates as states have against the whims of Washington, D.C. But as a practical matter, prosecutors, sheriffs, and police chiefs must prioritize the use of their personnel and resources and can drop the enforcement of laws they consider unconstitutional or immoral to the bottom of the list.
Importantly, local officials are likely to more closely represent local sentiment than their state and federal counterparts. They’re elected to office by smaller, more cohesive communities and have a better handle on how constituents want to live and what laws and policies regarding guns or anything else they’re willing to tolerate.
Ultimately, the most local authority is that which individuals exercise over their own lives. Just as sheriffs and prosecutors run interference against state officials who themselves intervene against the feds, so we all must decide how much meddling we’re willing to tolerate from the various levels of government. Refusing to enforce or obey authoritarian laws isn’t the only tool for defending liberty. But it is an effective and necessary check on power.
— J.D. Tuccille in Local Officials Vow To Shield the Public from Virginia’s Authoritarian New Gun Laws
I don’t know why they’re upset. Democrats routinely refuse to enforce their own gun laws when certain demographics are involved.
One positive from all this is that “we, the people” get to see who is true to the Constitution and who is a spineless, career-oriented shill. Frederick County DA, Ross Spicer (RINO), literally jumped onto the Jay Jones Bandwagon asap and then, in a stunning show of arrogant narcissism, had the gall to stand in front of the Republican Committee and scream about how he is beholden to follow the laws. Not the Constitution… the laws, good, bad, unconstitutional, or otherwise. Sounds very similar to the classic “I was just following orders…” doesn’t it?
Take a close look at what is happening…
* California went commie authoritarianism on the 2A, a constitutional right.
* New York went commie authoritarianism on the 2A, a constitutional right.
* Illinois went commie authoritarianism on the 2A, a constitutional right.
* Virginia went commie authoritarianism on the 2A, a constitutional right.
* …. and other states went commie authoritarianism on the 2A, a constitutional right.
Its is only the court battles wins and political will of the pro 2A that has kept these at bay, and the results vary but they are definitely there. A constitutional right was never intended to be bridled by law, except maybe in terms of intentional harm by using the right (for example, defamation, violent crime, etc…). But what we have to day is direct attacks on the 2A rights of law abiding people – by a mar*xist soci*list concept of ‘collectivism’ posed under the false terms ‘common sense’ and ‘public safety’ with a technique the communist used called ‘disruption of thought freedom’ to hit emotional chords and hammer at thought patterns to change them to the communist view.
Now look at what is happening in every blue anti-gun state and every blue jurisdiction – and now with the democrat party…they are over run with marx*ist soci*alist commies coming out of the shadows and closets – and the DSA is proudly publicly proclaiming their have seized the Democrat party and have been using it as a voting platform to get more of their communists into office – and their congress critters already in congress coming right out now and surrendering to them and doing even more of their bidding and not even bothering to hide any more that they have always been communist, the DSA has come right out and said they will use our constitution to get them into power then destroy the country from within and emplace an authoritarian tyranny comm* unism.
Whats are the first three things an authoritarian tyranny has to to do to successfully emplace an authoritarian tyranny? Its remove the means to resist that tyranny (disarm the populace, seize political key points in society to create and bend or exploit law to their advantage), create a following among the ‘population’ to do the bidding of the authoritarian tyranny to help eventually over throw the country, and create an anacro-tyranny condition by increasing lawlessness ‘only they can save you from if only those pesky law abiding 2A people would give up their guns and do as we say and we control the constitutional rights for the sake of common sense and public safety’ . Now look at what is happening every blue anti-gun state and every blue jurisdiction – ‘gender ideology mania’, tyrannical attacks on the 2A and 1A and 4A mainly focused on law abiding conservatives with out right threats of murdering conservatives, ANTIFA/TRANTIFA, anti-ice, marx*ist socia*list commie sources financial backing, and attacking any conservative politician in office or trying to suppress and remove any actions they might be able to take to uphold the constitution and defend our country. Make no mistake, this is warfare against the United States.
Clarification for: “A constitutional right was never intended to be bridled by law, except maybe in terms of intentional harm by using the right (for example, defamation, violent crime, etc…). ”
meaning, a constitutional right was never intended to be bridled by law imposed on law abiding people.
To add: The first thing every mar*xist soci*list com* munism has done after being successfully emplaced is eliminate the population-people who helped disrupt the population to enable emplacement of the mar*xist soci*list com* munism. For example, Karl Marx said “Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary” and until the commu*nist take over was done that was a thing – but once emplaced the authoritarian tyranny communist regime disarmed the ‘workers’ and eliminated their effective leaders of the workers, started eliminating gay and ‘gender diverse’ people, started eliminating the ‘academics’ who helped the movement, started eliminating the politicians who helped the movement, started eliminating the street level ‘agitators’ (as they called them, today we call them domestic terrorists ANTIFA/TRANTIFA) – eliminated as in ‘killing them’ and why was that… it was because one of the first things an authoritarian tyranny has to to do to successfully emplace an authoritarian tyranny is remove the means to resist that tyranny, and these factors had been used to emplace their authoritarian tyranny and could be used against them to form a resistance movement when they and the people realized they had been lied to and were not in the ‘utopia’ that was promised – and today we see this ‘utopia of mar*xist soci*lism’ deception being played out in New York city by Mamdani.
The Car Industry Is Warning Gun Owners Right Now.
(Colion) “Europe didn’t ban the gas car overnight.
They did something smarter.
They regulated it, mandated around it, and pushed the market until the thing people actually loved started getting phased out.
And if you think that has nothing to do with your guns, you’re missing the playbook.
A car guy named Austin from Valvetronic Designs broke down what’s happening to the car industry overseas — governments forcing manufacturers toward electric, whether buyers want it or not.
And the second you hear it with a gun owner’s ears, it sounds real familiar.
They don’t always ban what you love in one shot.
They regulate it.
They tax it.
They restrict it.
They make it harder to build, harder to buy, harder to own, and harder to use.
Then one day, the thing you actually wanted is gone — and they swear nobody banned anything.
That’s the same strategy they’ve tried with guns for years.

Europeans Mock American Guns While Dying Without Air Conditioning.
(Colion) “Europe loves to lecture America about guns.
They call us backwards.
They call us dangerous.
They call us barbarians for believing people should be armed and able to defend themselves.
Meanwhile, people in Europe are dying from heat in 2026 because so many homes still don’t have air conditioning.
This is the part that makes the whole argument fall apart.
Air conditioning is not some unsolved mystery.
We figured this out in 1902.
A window unit can solve the problem for a few hundred dollars.
And yet, while elderly people are dying in their own homes, they’re still having debates about whether air conditioning is some kind of Western comfort problem.
That is insane
…”

[note: In most of Europe, a government issued permit is required to have air conditioning. Right now, a heat wave in Europe is killing thousands at a rate that eclipses criminal violence rate in any other country in the world including the United States – every year Europe has more people die due to hot weather than the number of murders in the United States – in heat waves that are normal here in the United States. The reason is that most of Europe (in the EU bloc) requires a government permit to have air conditioning (in the name of the left wing ‘climate crisis’ agenda lie) – and although pretending someone can get a permit they actually can’t because the ‘governments’ don’t, in reality, issue them except to the ‘acceptable’ or ‘influential’ or ‘privileged class’ thus most homes in Europe do not have air conditioning.
Does this ‘permitting’ scheme sound familiar? It should, its the same unconstitutional ‘may issue’ scheme that anti-gun states used here in the United States. This ‘air conditioning permitting scheme’ is literally these governments ‘weaponizing hot weather’ against their own citizens – its their governments exercising the tyranny of making the citizens beg for permission, then denying permission, to exercise a basic human right namely the right to defend their lives (against the hot weather in this case) – their governments exercising a tyrannical power over life-&-death of the innocent – a power, and control, no government was ever suppose to have. Does this sound familiar? It should, its the same left wing anti-gun scheme here in the United States by use of their constant lawfare and creating laws to ban and restrict, and their still ‘behind the scenes subjective qualifications’ for permits, to exercise a basic human and constitutional right to exercise for defense of our lives. It is only our 2A and the court battle wins for it that keeps such tyranny at bay – in Europe they are not as fortunate, they do not have a 2A type of thing, or anything in their ‘constitutions’ upon which to base a legal challenge to protect a right for them to defend their lives from criminals or hot weather and those in the EU are completely dominated by left wing marx*ist soci*alism ideology.
Right now in parts of Europe, there are people literally in hand-to-hand combat in stores trying to get what ever window AC units they have – and there are people being thrown into jail for having an AC unit without a permit. The left wingers are trying really had to suppress this news via their control over news media in the EU, but its leaking out]
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. There are no qualifiers on who may keep arms, what types of arms they may keep, or for what purposes.
The tool changes, but evil doesn’t.
You cannot ban your way to safety.
Disarming law-abiding people does not stop evil.”[author unknown}
