One County has passed an ordinance to authorize a local militia

 

Virginia – Earlier in the week, we reported on how lawmakers over in Virginia were threatening to use the National Guard if members of local law enforcement refused to enforce laws passed in the state that they felt violated the second amendment.

Well, looks like Tazewell County isn’t going down without a fight. On top of calling themselves a second amendment sanctuary county, they’re also crafting a militia as well. The Virginia county has taken the movement that has swept across the state and added an element that is sure to trigger pro gun-grabbing politicians in the state.

Just this past Tuesday, on December 10th, the Board of Supervisors from Tazewell County passed two different resolutions in light of controversy circling those who are pro-gun. The first resolution declared the county to be a second amendment sanctuary. This is not at all surprising to see, as 76 out of 95 counties, 9 out of 38 independent cities, and 13 towns have adopted second amendment sanctuary resolutions.

The second item on the agenda was the proposition of establishing a militia in the county. When both of the resolutions passed, the crowd cheered loudly in support of the decisions. Also, the resolutions didn’t exactly pass by a small margin; the votes were unanimous, with more than 200 citizens standing by in support.

Didn't that last American Civil War end in Virginia?

Didn't it start because of gun confiscations?http://www.davekopel.org/2A/LawRev/american-revolution-against-british-gun-control.html

Excellent essay. The primary lesson: although there had been "...a long train of abuses and usurpations" the Colonials were largely peaceful until statist urban elites urged armed government agents into the countryside to seize arms and munitions from otherwise peaceable citizens.

 

Sound familiar?

Is activation of the National Guard even legal for the reason they're threatening it? I thought they could only be activated at the state level in response to terrorism or a state of emergency, and I don't think LE refusing to enforce unconstitutional laws falls under either of those.

 

If the governor tried, all Trump would need to do is nationalize the VA national guard and order them to ignore the governor lol

They’d likely be activated to “State Active Duty” to suppress civil insurrection under the guise of Homeland Security Actions.

 

Also, reportedly Virginia only has about 8200 National Guard troops (6900 Army, 1300 Air - based on June 2017 reports). They’d be spread mighty thin trying to cover all of Virginia’s 95 counties. They’d probably be centered in Henrico County (gotta “protect” the capital) and then maybe one of two counties they hope to “make an example of”.

 

If one figures they’ll likely have a split amongst the Guard as to whether to even follow the orders the threat to “Call out the National Guard” realistically isn’t much of a threat.....
