Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, George Washington , James Madison, and many other patriots are rolling in their graves
Patrick Henry’s famous “ give me liberty or give me death” speech as given within a rifle shot of the capital building where these liberal oppressors are plotting.

Gun Confiscation Comes to Virginia
See what happens when a formerly great red state turns very blue?
I posted on this topic, and a liberal came out and claimed that all it was about was a better gun-purchasing approval process. When I pointed out to her that the Ds in Virginia are talking about RETROACTIVELY redefining "assault weapons" to include pistols, and then confiscating legally purchased guns.
What happened to Virginia, formerly a red state, is this: Its neighbor, Maryland, is one of the most liberal states in the country, and the liberal governor instituted such far-left giveaway policies (that raise taxes) that the upper-middle class LIBERALS (who would be paying the higher taxes) relocated to Virginia, and brought their liberal policies with them. (It becomes a cycle, too - the lower-income on freebies remain, with fewer taxpaying citizens to support them, so they get their taxes raised, and they move to Virginia.)
Look at the map. Virginia is still a red state in every area except the DC suburbs, where the liberals relocated. And now this population has swelled to such an extent that it overwhelms the votes of the rest of the state (although Northern Virginia is still 1/3 Republican).

Our founding slave rapists had a lot of bad ideas and the 2nd amendment was one of them. If it was a good thing other countries would want the same. They don`t.

If the notion of civil liberties hurts your feelings, you are free to seek out a more authoritarian country to live in. I personally encourage all enemies of civil rights and liberties to do do exactly that, the country is better without those kinds of people.

This didn't pass yet and most likely will not because it goes back in time, it does make sense and other countries have done the same but certainly not here.

We get it. You hate this country because our brilliant founding fathers (the Constitution IS brilliant) followed along with the mores of the time. (Not all of them, by the way....some wanted to abolish slavery at the time, but the Democrats in the South wouldn't go along with it.)
Why don't you just take that liberal anti-American hatred with you and move to a country you respect? I personally couldn't live in, and support financially, a country that I have such derision for.

Did you just make that up (bolded)? I don't think there is any data of some massive migration from Maryland into Northern VA. Certainly, people do move back and forth between the states but it's generally due to crime rates, amenities, and the desire to be closer to better means of public transportation and work sites. Maryland has not kept up with its neighbor when it comes to Virginia for business opportunities and amenities as well as school systems.
Most Marylanders I know, to include 95% of my extended family and about 50% of my coworkers, wouldn't set foot in Virginia and it doesn't really have to do with politics. And they are gun lovers.

No I didn't make that up. There's been a BIG increase in the Virginia suburbs - a near doubling in 20 years - and the majority of that is coming from Marylanders. It became particularly pronounced when that Maryland governor (McMillion or something like that) starting taxing everything that moves in order to provide more resources to the schools overridden by illegal aliens' children.

People in schools, churches, movie theaters, Walmart, etc. are being deprived of their right to civil liberties when thy leave the building in body bags.
