Unlike sanctuary cities for illegals, the Washington Post considers the movement propelling Second Amendment sanctuaries a fad and “mainly symbolic.” That only proves further how out-of-touch mainstream outlets like the Washington Post are — more and more municipalities are declaring themselves gun sanctuaries, especially in Virginia, where Gov. Ralph “Coonman” Northam and a majority Democrat legislature have made noises about gun confiscation.

The action Monday night was in Virginia Beach, and a video screen had to be set up outside for the huge overflow crowd. Nearly a hundred citizens had signed up to give three-minute statements.

First time a state attempts to openly, with malice, stomp on the Constitution. Can't wait to watch your report. — Jerry (@Jerry15218497) January 6, 2020

Is Northam mobilizing National Guard tanks to crush the traitorous Americans? — snooop1e (@snooop1e) January 6, 2020

At least one Democratic representative has said that Northam “may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law” if it comes down to that. But it’s just a fad, really.

Lol, so this one Democrat is here and basically just said, look, there’s nobody here to support Governor Blackface’s gun ban so the city should hold another meeting later instead of voting tonight so they can pay some Democrats to show up. ? pic.twitter.com/2OPmfyK90m — Erik Soderstrom (@soderstrom) January 7, 2020

Loud boos outside for the third anti-gun speaker. Dozens of pro-gun speakers have already addressed the Virginia Beach city council over the last 2 hours. — Erik Soderstrom (@soderstrom) January 7, 2020

Third anti-gun speaker.

I fear this Virginia stuff will get out of hand. The rhetoric coming out of the Governor’s Office seems disconnected from reality. — John1911.com (@John1911_Blog) January 7, 2020

Media are hiding protests…

Gov Blackface’s radical “gun grab” proposals have created a firestorm of protests. VIrginia’s historic wins pivoted from red to blue for the first time in decades.

Now the state is a Liberal utopia all Americans should fear.pic.twitter.com/29H2b9Csmc — Tosca Austen (@ToscaAusten) January 7, 2020
