The threat of massive fines and prison time if caught with an unregistered gun is the plan.

Hunters and people that go to the range will comply because they can't risk losing their families.

Those that have guns at home will simply not register and when they move will hide them very well during the move.

Its to turn law abiding conservatives into criminals is all.

"Do you have the paperwork for that weapon sir?"

"Yes" -

CAPTAIN_TENDY_PLATE remarks:

"Things in Virginia are far worse than what some realize.

The tension is at a boiling point. We went through a period of about two weeks where things accelerated from "yea the dems are talking about gun control again" to "holy shit, they're literally pushing out bill after bill after bill to create felons out of conservatives, threatening the NG to enforce their bullshit when the sheriff's refuse, and are now creating retribution legislation in response to 2A sanctuary counties, so that they can simply fire/remove (at least in their minds) any sheriff, DA, deputy or any other government employee who refuses to enforce their unconstitutional bullshit, and bar them from public service ---- All at the speed of light...

Like, the shit accelerated so fast, the water boiled so quickly... A lot of people are still on absolute edge, and there's no sign it's slowing down.

They came back with a tiny fraction of a "compromise" that on it's surface, was hoping nobody would actually read the compromise, and then the patriots in VA figured out it was just an outright registration -effectively WORSE than what was before.

All indications are that they are going through with their plan, so we have about a month before the session begins... And we're sure they're going to fast track their agenda, it won't be one of those sessions that drags out.

They've got full control now, so they'll get in, pass the laws, and get out within probably 3 or 4 days of starting.

Virginia is saying that the laws WILL be enforced (literally stated by the AG) come hell or high water, and have already publicly stated the 2A sanctuaries will do nothing to stop them, and if anyone tries -they have said there will be "consequences", at which point the idea of mobilizing the national guard got floated.

There have even been some rumors/floating speculation that there are even more extreme plans to make all of this happen, including cutting power, internet, and cell services to offer a blanket of chaos to operate under.
