Nothing like this could ever happen in most of the US without widespread chaos and unrest.

It would literally take a full on, door to door ransacking search because there are no publicly held records of who owns what guns if any.

If confiscations started, people would just hide or bury their guns. Is Virginia going to excavate every inch of Virginia soil to find hidden caches?

It’s impossible.

Guns are not registered.

Even a background check and a NICS run doesn’t prove that a purchase was completed.

Not to mention inherited guns or gifted guns.

What the hell are these tin pot dictators gonna do?

Someone needs to research what happens when the government screws with entirely law abiding citizens and puts their backs against the wall.

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.

I’ve always been a state’s rights guy.

States don't have rights, they have powers. It's the PEOPLE who have rights (as well as powers) - that are protected by governments.

See Articles 9 and 10:

quote:

Article [IX] (Amendment 9 - Unenumerated Rights)
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Article [X] (Amendment 10 - Reserved Powers)
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.


NO WHERE in the US Constitution does it ever refer to states as having any "rights". I've never understood how so many could get this so wrong for so long.

I saw a good reply to this the other day.

If it's come time to bury your guns then it's past time to dig them up and start using them.

18 new law-enforcement positions to enforce a ban on commonly-owned firearms

I can’t see finding 18 people to do this.
Wonder if they will be armed.

We see in the governor’s proposed budget that he wants $4 million and 18 new law-enforcement positions to enforce a ban on commonly-owned firearms,” said Gun Owners of America Senior Vice President Erich Pratt.


Maybe he will seek government funding
