And, note, he trains regularly, is the appointed head of the church’s security force, used to be a reserve deputy sheriff, and owned a gun range for a lot of years. i realize most will read this stuff in non media mainstream sources, but I want us to understand why this man was able to stop this from becoming a real tragedy (or a “bigger” tragedy). |

Guys, I can already see the liberal response now: "OK, anyone who trains regularly, is head of a church's security force, used to be a deputy sheriff and owned a gun range for many years can carry a firearm. But nobody else!"

But nobody else!" I don’t think they’re that intelligent... but you might be right. I can see TOB “arguments” now as they are challenged (although, by whom, I have no idea) to stipulate “the” line beyond which no one is allowed to own. |

Jack Wilson was also the name of Jack Palance's hired gun character in Shane, one of my all-time favorite movies.
On a more pertinent note, you notice how gun control advocates have all kinds of ideas for keeping guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens, but virtually no plans for how to remove them from the hands of criminals.

I do notice that, even if only by the anti-gun nuts abandoning the argument every time that question is asked. essentially, their silence on the topic of criminals with guns... is deafening. i also read where failed candidate, Beto, is back on his stump claiming it was Texas gun laws that are to blame for that church shooting... 🤔 |

All JQP had to offer was to point out that the bad guy killed two, and the good guy only killed one, so the bad guy won. Brilliant! JQP doesn't understand percentages. The bad guy had over 100 targets and shot 2, so his batting average was .020, bad enough to get sent back to AA. The good guy had 1 target and hit it, so he was batting a perfect 1.000. Further, the good guy felled him in under six seconds with a head shot, so his slugging percentage is 4.000. And don't get me started on the good guys OPS... |

It wasn't ALL about guns It's about our rights & our freedoms To be represented by the people we elect That's represented NOT RULED over !! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reflecting on the Virginia Gun RallyIn the shadows of the state capitol, over 20,000 men, women, and children, of all races, from Virginia and many other states, showed not only their support of the Second Amendment, but also their frustration with elected officials governing against their electorate and the Constitution.
The event was a contradictory “peaceful show of force .” Some media assumed that this gathering was meant to intimidate or threaten. It was not.
An appropriate comparison would be that of a policy that was shared by the United States and the Soviet Union during the nuclear arms race — mutually assured destruction. The belief was that if either side should start any overt action towards the other, it would be the end of both.
That is why the pro-Second Amendment community stands firmly opposed to the constant erosion of gun rights by the political left.
If the government ignores our will now, while we are an armed populace, how will they treat us if we are disarmed? The truth is that it’s not “gun control” that they want. Understanding the issue makes you realize that it’s really about “citizen control.”
A large percentage of the attendees on Monday were military veterans from all branches. As such, many wore their issued clothing and gear, while carrying their most familiar and comfortable weapon, the reviled AR-15. Unit patches and American flags were also worn with pride. This is part of the reason why the media and anti-gun community accuses our movement of being full of militias and white supremacist paramilitary groups. The actuality is men and women merely carrying the tools they know best.
The feeling of the crowd was very patriotic. Not in the sense of “love of country,” but along the lines of what drove patriots to revolt against their king.
The biggest issue of the time was “taxation without representation.” That issue is being felt again today.
Americans feel over-taxed as we pay state income tax, federal income tax, sales tax, gas tax, and many other taxes hidden in purchases made. There are also tolls and fees for many civil services. Government always seems to have its hand in your pockets, and thanks to the unfairly high death tax, it doesn’t even end when your life does. The feeling of frustration is magnified by the waste of those tax dollars even while accumulating more national debt.
Representation is being watered-down or cancelled out by fraudulent voting, enabled by a lack of voter I.D., and a growing number of cases of non-citizens voting. This situation was started with “motor voter” in the 90’s, and then completed with states approving illegal immigrant driver’s licenses. It’s a formula ripe for illegal votes being cast. There’s also the problem of elected officials showing their loyalty to large donors, instead of their constituents. Indebted officials do what they can to repay the contributions.
One other possible reason for the large turnout in Richmond is the effect of Donald J. Trump.
His election in 2016 has proven to be a “reset button” to what America should be. (Make America Great Again, right?) He’s fighting “big government,” the “Deep State,” and foreign influence over many of our elected officials. From Ukraine to China, our politicians have sold out our Republic.
As strong-willed, cunning, and successful as he is, the president cannot accomplish this fight by himself. He needs the power of the American citizens.
“We, The People” showed up in Richmond, using a well-known tactic introduced by another great Republican president to whom Trump is often compared, Ronald Reagan:

First, despite the pro-gun rally earlier this week, the Virginia Senate, with their hands clamped firmly over their ears as they chanted “na-na-na-na... I can’t hear you...”, approved their anti-gun legislation.  Second, several Virginia Counties are appealing to West Virginia to become part of that state (or maybe West Virginia has invited them... depends on the source)... from the Conservative and Free blog, with their obvious biases: |

More RED electoral votes for WV; less BLUE ones for VA........Thumbs up!
Since the actuality of counties moving to an adjoining state seems incredibly unlikely, the better consequence of VA Democrats insane anti-2A policies is for that to awaken such a voter revolt in VA as to turn it back to a RED state.

Something from the gun-control lemmings caught my attention:
If an officer of the law shoots someone, it is always the officers fault...
But if anyone else shoots someone, it’s the gun’s fault, the NRA’s fault, and the gun manufacturers’ fault.
