Virginia Democrats are a Disgrace

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam and the Democrats are a disgrace. They live in a fantasy world where things are as they wish they were but not as they actually are. They have no knowledge of our nation's gun laws, and they have no respect for our Constitution.

Here are the cold, hard facts in the real world:

1) The supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States, very clearly states that "the Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

2) The Second Amendment is an individual Right NOT a collective right of states to have militias (Supreme Court, DC v. Heller, 2008).

3) The Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms is NOT CONNECTED IN ANY WAY to service in a militia (Supreme Court, DC v. Heller, 2008).

4) States may not infringe on Second Amendment Rights because those Rights are incorporated by the due process and the privileges and immunities clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment. (Supreme Court, McDonald v. Chicago, 2010).

5) Military-grade firearms ARE PROTECTED by the Second Amendment (Supreme Court, United States v. Miller, 1939).

6) Where Rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them. (U.S. Supreme Court, Miranda v. Arizona, 1966).

The bottom line on gun control is this: "The Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Unless that very clear language is repealed, it must be respected by politicians and the courts. Anything less is a shameful violation of the oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States."

So if these disgusting, anti-Constitution Democrats want to take away guns, then they should try to repeal the Second Amendment. But as long as the Second Amendment is part of our Constitution, they must not infringe upon it.

Today's Democrats are dangerous enemies of our Republic.
