January Update on Proposed Laws – 20-2

It boggles the mind the level of treason that is blatantly on display in the capitol of Virginia. SOOOO many legislators have some sort of fascination with starting a war with the citizens they supposedly represent. They think they will not be effected. And they are wrong.  They must be huge fans of King George because they are acting a lot like him. And this isn’t just gun laws. One just need to look at the list of bills and the titles to see the insanity run amok. I hope you are paying attention Patriots.

You need to be, as this will in-every-way impact you!

If you think that even if they pass this stuff we will vote them out. and even if that were true do you think the incrementalist Republicans would have the courage to repeal even 30% of it? NO!

Tyranny and tyrants have just one remedy and that is a room temperature remedy.

The bill provides that any person who violates the provisions of this section is subject to a civil penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than $100,000 for the initial violation and $5,000 per day for each day of violation thereafter.

HAVE YOU GONE MAD???

Delegate Bell-    So, because I live on a 100 acre farm that is ruled residential around me, I am not going to be allowed to shoot my guns on my back yard range anymore?    My kids won’t be able to shoot anymore?  We won’t be able to make sure our guns are sighted in for hunting season?  Do you even live in Virginia?    I think you need to go out and drive around to our rural areas and just listen the sounds of freedom on a Saturday and Sunday in YOUR County.    Maybe you should visit some other areas in Virginia that are even more rural than District 13 and hear the sounds of freedom every weekend.    I mean, how would you even propose to enforce this?

You are a tyrant,  Sir.   And further demonstrate why there need to be laws for the “urbanites” and the “ruralites”.   The divide continues to grow for reasons like your poorly thought out bill.  Instead of actually doing something about improving our mental health care, tackling criminals and prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law, you show your cards.

NO TO SB 353!

Instead of a “Sincerely” I leave you with the motto of our State and on YOUR STATE FLAG.

Sic Semper Tyrannis,

From a friend:

“CONFEDERATE GUERILLAS WERE MADE NOT BORN

“Henry McGruder was sixteen years old when he joined the army. While plowing in the field of his widow mother, a band of plundering, marauding Federal soldiers, on a foray, saw this youth in the field, in Bullitt county. They took a special fancy to a horse with which the boy was plowing. They took the horse, and because the boy objected, they stripped and whipped him until the blood ran down his legs, and kicked and cuffed him until he was unconscious and left him for dead, as they supposed. Aroused at last by rain faling in his face, he regained consciousness. He went home to his widowed mother — he was her only support— told her of his brutal treatment, bathed his many bruises, went to the stable, caught another horse, and determined to avenge his wrong. He followed up the trail of his brutal tormentors. He had three pistols and a double-barrel shotgun. He found the Federals stealing horses near the Spencer county line. He rode into their midst, an avenging nemeis. Of the sixteen men who had so brutally used him the day before, he killed ten, the other six he chased four miles, but they escaped him. He afterwards killed them all. He never was known after this to take a prisoner — he killed all who fell into his hands.

His mother also had been insulted and brutally treated before this time. This quiet, obedient, placid, industrious boy had become a destroying, desperate guerrilla in a day, in an hour. A dead-sure shot, he practiced constantly to improve his proficiency, on horseback over ditches, over fences, over logs, over rough ground. With a pistol in each hand, he soon became a terror to his enemies. He never seemed excited and

was always cool, deadly, deliberate, absolutely without fear, always ready for the most hazardous enterprises. Often, desperately wounded, he never complained.

It will always be found that most guerrillas, the world over, have suffered a brutal or grievous insult, to self or family. All these men, especially in our family quarrels or civil strife, had this thrust upon them. These two executions added other evidence, if such were needed, of the implacable enmity, hatred and brutality of the invaders of the Southland.”

Editors Note: Henry McGruder and fellow Confederate guerilla, Jerome Clark were seriously wounded and took refuge in a tobacco barn in Nelson County, Kentucky in May of 1865. Surrounded by 80 Federal soldiers, a Yankee captain told them under a flag of truce that if they would surrender they would be treated under the same terms and conditions as General Lee’s men at Appomattox. The two men surrendered under a pledge of protection but were taken to Louisville, Kentucky where without benefit of trial they were murdered by hanging the next day.”
