Virginia’s 2A sanctuary movement has engulfed 94% of the state. (Photo: VCDL Facebook)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update (1\/18 9:21 AM):<\/strong> The Virginia Supreme Court has refused to overturn Governor Northam’s gun ban at the capital because, according to the Virginia Citizens Defense League, “they did not have enough information on the stay denied by the lower court to issue their own stay.” The VCDL is urging 10,000 rally-goers to “take one for the team” to fill the gun-free zone with Second Amendment supporters. Those who wish to attend armed can still do so, but they must stay outside the fence on 9th street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update (1\/17 7:12 AM): <\/strong>The Virginia Citizens Defense League released the following statement regarding their lawsuit against Governor Northam:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… the legal teams of both VCDL and Gun Owners of America (GOA) sought an injunction against enforcement of Northam’s Executive Order No. 49 (EO-49).  Unfortunately, the Circuit Court denied our request for an injunction. Both VCDL and GOA believe the court erred in it’s decision and our legal team immediately filed an Emergency Petition for Review with the Virginia Supreme Court. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news from Virginia is coming in fast, but we have the latest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up, in response to Gov. Ralph Northam\u2019s state of emergency declaration banning firearms in downtown Richmond, the Virginia Citizens Defense League announced a plan to take legal action against Northam\u2019s administration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVCDL believes that\nthis gun ban is illegal,\u201d said the group\u2019s president, Philip Van Cleave. \u201cOur\nlegal team is looking at our options and we will keep you advised as soon as we\nhave a definitive plan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounds for the suit would stem from a 2012 Virginia law\nthat restricts how the governor can limit gun rights during a state of\nemergency. The law<\/a>\nprohibits the governor from limiting the rights of the people to keep and bear\narms except \u201cto the extent necessary to ensure public safety in any place or\nfacility designated or used by the Governor\u2026 as an emergency shelter or for the\npurpose of sheltering persons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northam\u2019s executive order banned firearm possession on a\n14-acre plot in downtown Richmond, which he attempted to designate as a \u201cshelter\u201d:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To provide for the shelter and safety of state employees who work on or near the Virginia State Capitol and those who come to peacefully assemble\u2026 no weapons, including firearms, may be carried or possessed on any land, real property, or improvements owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia within the area bounded by Broad Street, Ninth Street, Bank Street and Governor Street in the City of Richmond, Virginia.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Former Virginia Delegate Mike Watson called out Northam\u2019s blatant\nattempt to get around the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the Governor has declared the Capitol Grounds a “Shelter” in order to get around the law. I’m curious how many times a 14 acre plot of land has been designated an emergency shelter?<\/p>\u2014 Mike Watson_Virginia (@MikeWatson_VA) January 15, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

Northam\u2019s case appears weak, but the VCDL might not have enough time to secure the injunction they need. The rally is scheduled for Monday, which means they\u2019ll likely need to secure a hearing today or tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of timing, Virginia delegates have until Friday to\npropose new gun control legislation, and several delegates are trying to sneak\ntheir proposals under the pro-gun media radar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One bill<\/a>, for example, would impose a 10 percent tax on guns and ammunition, minus the other sales taxes levied by the Commonwealth. In other words, since Virginia has a 5.3 percent sales tax<\/a>, the bill would add an additional 4.7 percent tax in most locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE ALSO: Virginia Watch: Bill Would Shut Down Non-Gov\u2019t Owned Shooting Ranges, Including NRA Facility<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The money collected by the tax will be used to fund a new Student\nMental Health and Safety Fund, which will be used to help public schools pay\nfor full-time school counselors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While gun owners frequently support efforts to fund mental health care<\/a>, it\u2019s unclear why they should be the only demographic to foot the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, given the anti-gun stance of the bill\u2019s author, Mark Levine<\/a>, the legislation appears to be geared more towards restricting access to guns and ammo than funding school counselors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The muskets of our founding fathers also did not contain 30-bullet magazines. And if you think your AR-15 will do diddly against the full might and power of the United States military, you need to talk to someone who has served there. https:\/\/t.co\/BNRiIYEmhX<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Mark Levine (@DelegateMark) January 14, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

More to come. Stay tuned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
