Yes, Virginia... There is a Second Amendment: The Virginia Gun Control Debate and Governor Ralph Northam's Unconstitutional Power Grab

As gun control advocates ramp up their efforts to infringe on the Constitutional rights of American citizens, gun owners and gun rights activists are doubling down on pledges to defend the sacred provisions of the Second Amendment. Since 2019, America has been watching tensions mount as this conflict plays out in Virginia, where enough seats in the General Assembly were flipped in 2018 to give Democrats a legislative majority. That, coupled with the re-election of Democrat Governor Ralph Northam, has placed supreme power in the hands of Michael Bloomberg’s gun-grabbers in the Old Dominion State. Newly elected lawmakers did not waste any time introducing sweeping gun control legislation, the conditions of which are directly antithetical to the Second Amendment, which has gun rights advocates literally “up in arms.” County sheriffs across the state, guided by their sworn oaths to uphold the Constitution, followed examples set by other jurisdictions where similar measures have been put in place, declaring their counties as “Second Amendment Sanctuaries,” vowing not to enforce unconstitutional state or federal laws. More than 90% of counties and cities in Virginia have declared sanctuary status, hoping to send a clear message to Governor Northam and lawmakers in Richmond about how the majority of voters feel. Governor Northam responded by threatening to call in the National Guard to enforce the laws and vowed to hold law enforcement officers accountable if they do not comply. The speed and efficiency with which gun rights advocates across the nation have organized a resistance movement has been truly remarkable. Meanwhile, pundits and commentators describe the escalation of this volatile situation as sufficient to ignite another Civil War. Conservative author, researcher, activist, and native Virginian, Timothy Wade Corder, examines the many facets of this debacle and reassures freedom-loving Americans in his home state that, “Yes, Virginia… There is a Second Amendment!”
