Virginia’s all-out attack on what are falsely deemed “assault firearms” quickly stirred a wave of opposition. Gun rights stalwarts quickly filed multiple lawsuits, and more legal challenges would not be surprising against the state’s out-of-control gun control regime.
Now comes word that controversial Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) faces even more difficulties getting her underlings to comply with her sweeping push. Commonwealth Attorneys and sheriffs recently declared they will not enforce the new gun restrictions if or when they take effect July 1.
More opposition is almost certain before law takes effect July 1
There are currently five prosecutors who announced they have no intention of infringing on Second Amendment rights afforded to all law-abiding citizens.
Commonwealth Attorneys in Powhatan, Pulaski, Scott, Smyth, and Spotsylvania Counties recognize that the state has no business usurping the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Supreme Court. Prosecutor Kemper Beasley III of Buckingham County appeared on the fence when asked by Bearing Arms for his position on the ban.
Attorneys chose to uphold their oaths to the Constitution over political posturing
He cited loyalty to the founding documents of the nation and Virginia before adding that he believes that Spanberger’s pet project will be struck down.
Beasley is certainly correct in his thinking, though it is unclear how his office will enforce the law starting in July—or whether it will be enforced at all.
Pushback is also strong from multiple Virginia sheriffs who back the rights of good people to keep and bear arms. Campbell County Sheriff Whit Clark told ABC13 that gun grabbers know they are violating the Constitution.
He called the state prohibition “an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owning citizens” and added that the sweeping ban is “nothing more than a gun grab.”
Clark told the outlet that he swore an oath three times to protect the Constitution, and that was his intent. “We’ll deal with it however we must deal with it, but hopefully it will be a quick decision rendered from the courts.”
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
