    In case anyone was wondering what Arlington Country says in response to a request to consider a 2A sanctuary resolution.

    Dear XXXXXXX,

    On behalf of the County Board, I am responding to your request that the Board consider adopting a resolution declaring Arlington a Second Amendment Sanctuary.

    My colleagues and I agree that there is no threat to the Second Amendment in the Commonwealth, and no legislation contemplated either by the Virginia General Assembly or the United States Congress that could have the effect of infringing on the rights of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms and therefore, no need to consider such a resolution.

    In fact, the Board is poised to adopt a 2020 General Assembly Legislative Package this month that includes the following among our legislative priorities:

    Gun Safety Measures:

    Enact Red Flag, or Extreme Risk Protection Order Laws, creating a legal process for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed to pose an imminent risk of violence to themselves or others

    Adopt universal background checks for all gun buyers

    Reinstate one-gun-a-month law – limiting handgun purchases to one gun a month

    Ban sales of bump stocks, assault weapons, and armor piercing ammunition

    Permit local governments to prohibit the possession of firearms on property owned or leased by the locality

    We believe the adoption of such measures would reflect the desire of the majority of Arlingtonians, Virginians and Americans to see federal and state government adopt sensible gun safety measures.

    Sincerely,

    Christian Dorsey, Chair

    Arlington County Board

    And who is it that defines what an “assault weapon” is? To some snowflakes it’s any evil gun and to others it’s a “weapon of war”.

    The Commonwealth of Virginia would be much better off if most of NOVA was annexed, they are closer to MD than the rest of VA. fred55

    A nice thought, which could also couple with taking that area of NoVa along with DC into MD.

    However, there's a lot of taxable income and property in NoVa, and the state would not easily give it up. Of course there are other reasons as well, but the bottom line is, well, the bottom line.

    It was 31 earlier this evening.

    I’m sitting in the Fairfax County board meeting. Over 300 people in the room wearing Orange Guns Save Lives stickers. We are starting to speak now.

    The messaging has clearly gone out to the antis that it's "scared white people" pushing this. That talking point is popping everywhere on social media.

    If you are in Facebook, the Staunton Newsleader is being swamped with anti gun racists who apparently can call pro gun commenters klansmen with impunity.

    Christian Dorsey is a typical smug libtard who apparently wishes to flaunt his disregard for his "subjects" God given rights.
