The Virginia National Guard on Friday responded to a Democratic lawmaker after he suggested that it may be needed to enforce new gun legislation.
The remarks from Rep. A. Donald McEachin (D-Va.) suggesting that Gov. Ralph Northam (D) “may have to nationalize the National Guard to enforce the law” comes as dozens of counties across Virginia have declared themselves “Second Amendment sanctuaries” after Democrats took over the state legislature last election.

really? where did they pretty much say they would refuse anything? because what i read was PR speak for “we aint saying shit.” Also what is illegal about enforcing state laws when local cops aren’t sufficient? isn’t that one of the things they are there for?
