"So, one US Rep Donald McEachin (D-Deep State)(that's sarcasm, okay?) has proposed having the governor "Nationalize the National Guard" to deal with the problem. (Give him credit. At least he didn't threaten to use nukes, like a certain former presidential candidate. OTOH, if VA actually had nukes, he might have.)
Let me explain this:
The governor can't "nationalize" the National Guard. He can call them to state active duty.

And the threat to do so is LITERALLY WHY WE HAVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT. Congrats, jerkwad!

It's outrageous of itself, and and outrageous precedent if allowed.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but there should be politicians hanging from lampposts over this.
Our society started to fail when we stopped tarring and feathering.
But if despite all that, you make the attempt:".....
