Primarily northern Virginia (near D.C.) and parts of Tidewater (eastern VA) areas are the populations centers and also have the largest portions of transplants (both legal and illegal). These locations are the source of the current problems and are heavily influenced by outside entities. They are completely out of touch with the rest of Virginia which is leading to disastrous results. I'm concerned of the foolishness they will have Richmond spit out. Texas, your next.

I wanted to share this post from another site. This sickening proposal was from Jul and likely proposed again this Jan when the left take control. Thousands will become felons...this will not go well.

I am currently working to get the county I am living in declared a Second Amendment sanctuary. We have 6 of 7 county supervisors on board as well as the Commonwealth's Attorney. We hope to have the resolution in place before the next legislative session. We also hope to have a referendum on the ballot to solidify the resolution, which I am sure will pass handily. I have also contacted others in neighboring counties who are working on it in their localities. I urge all gun owners in Va to get to work. We can protect our rights and we can send a clear message to Richmond that we will not stand for their garbage.

Link below is an assessment VCDL posted on another board. They will be having a large lobby day on 20 Jan 2020. Everyone needs to attend even if you need to take off time from work. I did not attend in the past due to work but will start taking off for these events. If there is any other suggestions on what will benefit this fight, please share.

Many senate and house seats didnt even have an (R) candidate.
The Ds were ahead from the beginning. I watched as VCDL.com warned about the coming disaster. 630000 concealed permit holders and 8000 members of VIRGINIA CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE!!! (I believe those numbers are close) VA residents see post #29 (just above--take the day off)!!XX!!XX |

Below is an update from VCDL. As per the last portion of the message,; "Don't listen to the defeatists. That is exactly what our opponents want us to do. Be fearless, stand strong and united with all your fellow gun owners, and be ready to fight back when the time comes!"

For right above, wasn’t the ‘war’ and ‘fighting back when the time comes’, wasn’t that time the recent election?? What was VCDL doing to get their pro gun candidates elected? One previous post mentioned no GOP candidate on some of the ballots??

Virginians let 30 seats go uncontested to democrats. the number VCDL members is less than 5% of the ccw holders. this encroachment has been happening incrementally for years and was quite obvious, yet little was done to stem it outside of complaining. how many sheriff's have declared their counties 2nd amendment sanctuaries? doesn't matter, Va. is a true state police state. enjoy reaping what little has been sown.

The demographics has changed here. People from other states and immigrants (both legal and illegal) had flooded to this area plus tens of millions of outside money for the elections. Do you think what happened in VA will not happen elsewhere? It is spreading faster than you can imagine. TX is facing a similar fate soon and AL, MS, MT, etc. will not be immune from this disease. How do you stop it? Build a wall?

All is not gloom and doom in Virginia.
The Democrats hold the VA house 55-45. Their hold on the senate is more fragile, 21-19. If the VCDL is smart, and IMO that remains to be seen, they will work with the less radical Democrats and rural Democrats in the legislature. i read the letter from the VCDL on another website and it don't impress me at all. The guy talks about "sanctuary" cities. The letter had these very long paragraphs that make reading very difficult. So called "sanctuary" cities do nothing for our cause. It is feel good stuff that will discourage Democrats who might otherwise compromise on gun control. If gun control with confiscation passes in Virginia the state police will take the guns, "sanctuary" or not. |

Some how i could not believe that Democrats ran uncontested in 30 seats. After doing a quick count, yep, it's true. BTW: Republicans ran uncontested in 8 or 9 seats.
How do Republicans ever hope to re-take the VA legislature when they don't care enough to enter a candidate? |

As a general rule, in any consequential race, if a candidate of a minority party has anything resembling a chance, someone will run for the spot. I've counselled judicial candidates of both major parties, and opened with "You know you aren't going to win, right?". It hasn't phased anyone yet. The reality of safe districts is that they are the basis of one party districts.

There are precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio in which more votes were cast for BHO in 2008 than there were registered voters, and none of the votes were cast for McCain. If you were thinking about running as a repub in that area based on that information, how much of your time and money would you commit to that campaign?

I think it's a fine strategy for the Republicans to funnel their available money and resources into races they have a chance of winning, rather than dilute the effort in races they have no chance of winning. I'm sure the party does enough research to know the difference between the two.
Here in southwest Virginia where the Republicans typically sweep at least 2:1 over the Democrats it is not uncommon for some local Republican held seats to go uncontested.

Some people like to say that "every vote counts" with a meaning that it matters if you as an individual vote. In some places, places as you describe in SW VA, that's not really true.

if they are a democrat they will do as they're told by the DNC. I'd like to see a list of Virginia democrats that vote against any further 2nd amendment infringements.
