Gahzuntheight.....The NDAA of 2008 severely subverted PC as well as Oblunder's EO 13528
Had a thought
Trump said he was going to defend RKBA......this is right on his door step
If the commies in Va leg persist then trump ordering the AG to file suit in fed count to protect/defend against actions against 2A particularly regarding firearms in "common use" which SCOTUS has already deemed AOK........a lawsuit by the fed gov AGAINST Va would be 100% legit and legally sound under the 14th amendment.
Supreme court would have no option other than to take the case and rule against Va otherwise they would go against stare decisis and a decision rendered by approx half of the sitting court
This would be the biggest win trump could possibly muster and energize the base in an unimaginable way....AND put all this BS to a stop

Its not really
There are a raft of examples of the executive branch taking DIRECT action to protect rights (Segregation: Wallace v JFK) https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/p...-the-university-of-alabama-50-years-ago-today
There are also a raft of examples of the executive branch taking actions via courts to protect rights......from voting to education to various 1A cases.......
Why wouldnt you expect the executive branch to do something similar to guarantee/ensure that a state doesnt VIOLATE 2A?
I'm sad this would never happen.
There's no way VA goes current proposal full retard during an election year. I think they're just pandering to their base. Maybe they pass something like a regular CA/CT/MA/NY AWB. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think the close by DC elitists are going to let VA DNC hand Trump a giant election topic they know he'll win.
They'll water it down to something that matches another existing law and just pray SCOTUS doesn't take up an AWB case.

My son says they can't use the guard in that capacity says Posse Commitus prohibits them from enforcing law enforcement actions on the mainland

Federalized national guard fall under posse comitatus. However the VA governor can use national guard in the enforcement of VA law. Although, I’m not sure how well that’d be received from the populous OR the national guard. I doubt many enlisted would be willing to confiscate guns or arrest sherrifs for ol’ mr black face.

One other possibilitiy.... scotus could issue an injunction blocking enforcement of the law, right? Until it poops out an awb case... I don't see them going FR and suing the state, etc. That would probably only happen if you had 3 Gorsuch clones and maybe 3 Thomas clones all seated at once lmao...

Probable and possible are two different things.
While there's no precident specifically for this being done wrt 2A there are sufficient examples historically of it having been done wrt other constitutionally protected rights........isnt that what the whole "Incorporation" bullschtein is about?
This is truly one of the few cases where the constitution AS WRITTEN would apply and support legal/other action by the exec branch of the fed gov AGAINST Virginia
As others have noted......its a different ball game under Trump.....as such I think its something that we should all push for........it certainly is a path to put all the state bullshit regarding overt violations/disreguard of heller/etc and 2A itself back in line once and for all
Stockwell,
My issue is that you keep trying to apply a "customary" approach to a constitutional issue....ie we've allowed the tail to wag the dog for too long and trump is fighting this (broadly)......
The president is the chief executive of the united states.
He took the following oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
The constitution and subsequent supreme court decisions affirm RKBA as a constitutionally protected right
The president is bound by OATH to defend it
Virginia leadership is moving to violate the constitution, their oath's to uphold it and the constitutionally protected rights it ensures.
Trump is well within his power to initiate a FEDERAL suit against the state of virginia to uphold his oath of office and defend the rights of all virginians.
Article 3 of the constitution states that fed judiciary power shall extend "to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party"
The hypocrisy of the left vis a vis Sanctuary is laughable. They can't be taken seriously or allowed to form policy on anything, as they are 100% driven by votes
You're ignoring what the constitution clearly states in favor of a distopial JBS like argument
What I'm advocating is an instance where the fed gov actually DEFENDS the constitution and the rights it ensures instead of SUBVERTING those rights and the constitution.......
Amendment X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.
Amendment II
A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
POTUS Oath of office: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
2A for better/worse is now incorporated/applied to the states and ensures an individual RKBA and include firearms in common use.
Trump is well within his and federal power to initiate a suit against a state acting to violate the constitutionally protected rights of the citizens of that state and any other states citizens who happen to travel in/thru Va.
You're argument is that a future president would similarly be empowered to initiate a suit against a state that initiates a state wide guarantee of 2A protected by the constitution.
THAT WOULD IN POINT OF FACT VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF
It's becoming more difficult to do so, as the Donks are becoming exceedingly sophisticated at cheating. They're getting elections laws changed in places in ways that at first glance may actually seem reasonable, but which further erode the ability to stop shenanigans from occurring, especially when taken in context of other (less reasonable) laws they're pushing (and getting passed).The pro-2A folks in Virginia failed to turn out the vote last November.

We are a nation of political will gentlemen, not a nation of laws. This has ALWAYS been the case, and it always will be. I think this is the point that C. Stockwell is trying to make. Laws mean NOTHING unless there is the political will to pass, enforce, change or repeal them. The pro-2A folks in Virginia failed to turn out the vote last November. That is why they are in this predicament. Beyond (and prior to) that, they failed to register their opinions with their legislature and governor to the extent that was necessary. As a result, the government no longer fears them as it should in a healthy republic.
I know that here in the Constipation State, that is so in Donk strongholds cuz there is ABSOLUTELY NO POINT in running an opposition candidate, save maybe an even more Communist one. It's merely a waste of time and resources.They had a problem where HALF THE FRICKEN OFFICES had unopposed races. There was NO ONE TO VOTE FOR in opposition.
This is why ballots need a "none of the above" option to leave the position vacant. Too many vacant positions = no quorum, no quorum and the legislature has to cease functioning until they have one.

Not gonna happen, realistically. Only hope is for some kind of crash/reset, where we stop paying them to reproduce themselves, and they starve. And even then, better hope we still have plenty ammo handy when it happens.Yeah, there are some places in MA that are literally like that. The only smart way at all to run an opposition campaign in those districts is to do a "gay deceiver" fake
democrat job and push them out at the primary, but even that is difficult.
