This is what happens when you elect democRats. SB 64 will make it a Class 5 Felony in Virgina to provide any kind of firearm training. And worse it bans all meetings of paramilitary groups for the purpose of training with or without firearms. Do these socialisits even bother to read the Bill of Rights?

They have some strong language in that bill. Personally I do not think it will pass. Still a LOT of RED in that State. But now that you have a Dem Female in office....its all up in the air. Sounds to close to Oregon's Politics to me. ...

A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:

1.

2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

Pretty ironic this happening in Virginia. Washington, Lee (all the Lees), and Jefferson would be rolling in their graves.

One of Robert E. Lee's reasons for turning down Lincoln was basically, "I am a Virginian, and this is what we do"

Jefferson's famous "Blood of tyrants" quote was from a letter he wrote regarding Shay's rebellion.

He basically said, "It doesn't matter even if the people are wrong, every 20 years someone should rise up and rebel just to remind the government we will. We can tell them why they are wrong later."
