The Washington Post editorial board called the “Second Amendment sanctuary” movement in all-blue Virginia a fad and mostly symbolic. Unlike sanctuary cities, where law enforcement just refuses to cooperate with federal agencies like ICE, this would mean law enforcement ignoring a law on the books, get it? Illegal aliens have done nothing wrong, see, but an American wanting to exercise his right to keep and bear arms, even if Virginia’s legislature voted for confiscation, would be a criminal.
Gov. Ralph “Coonman” Northam might even have to call out the National Guard if local law enforcement chose not to enforce unconstitutional gun control laws.
Speaking of a “fad”:

On Monday, President Trump retweeted an article from The Epoch Times about Second Amendment sanctuaries:
Over 400 people packed the meeting room, filled the lobby, and spilled into the parking lot in rural Buckingham County, #Virginia with one thing on their minds: #Guns.
The vast majority favored a proposal to declare the county a #2ndAmendment Sanctuary. https://t.co/qw94dTDyfY

Lawyer and lesbian (hey, we’re just going by her Twitter bio) Alison Poole thought the president’s retweet was “interesting.”
President Trump just re-tweeted an article from Epoch Times discussing 2nd Amendment sanctuary municipalities in Virginia. That's, uh, interesting.

It’s interesting that he retweeted an article that defends the Bill Of Rights which President Trump sword an oath to defend?

Sanctuary cities? Good. Second Amendment sanctuaries? Bad.
The Constitution, and the 2nd Amendment specifically, was written to prevent a government from exceeding its real purpose and limits. Government serves the people who have individual rights. The people do not serve the government & do not receive their rights from it. VA fascism.

We Virginians need an @realDonaldTrump rally in our state to show support for our #2ASanctuary status. I bet he could a fill a huge stadium with law abiding gun owners.

Damned right! "Sanctuary cities" are finally doing something good.
