Virginia's Blackface Governor Declares a Fake "Emergency" to Preemptively Disarm Gun-Carriers; Author of Bill Protecting That Right Says The Bill Specifically Forbids Declaring an Emergency to Disarm Citizens

Virginia's Governor Mammy issued this illegal order:

Governor Ralph Northam today declared a state of emergency in advance of expected demonstrations on Capitol Square on Monday, January 20, 2020. Law enforcement intelligence analysts have identified credible threats of violence surrounding the event, along with white nationalist rhetoric and plans by out-of-state militia groups to attend.

The Governor’s declaration prohibits all weapons, including firearms, from Capitol grounds, and will provide joint law enforcement and public safety agencies the resources they need to keep demonstrators, policymakers, and all Virginians safe.

Commenters quickly called foul:

188 163 32 Virginia Governor Blackface Northam has just issued an executive order declaring a state of emergency because some "white nationalists" (i.e., pro-gun groups) are planning a rally at the state capital this week.

Lunatic.

It is going to be Charlottesville 2.0

The State Cops will purposefully push the Pro-2A protesters and the Antifa Counterprotesters together to start a riot.

The Northam Democrat allies will have people in the 2A crowd purposefully starting violence and even yelling Racist Crap to make the 2A people look like bad.

Stay far away.

The sponsor of the law that Governor Johlson is violating says not so fast:

Which says, in pertinent part:

A BILL to amend and reenact § 44-146.15 of the Code of Virginia, relating to emergency services and disasters; constitutional rights.

...

Nothing in this chapter is to be construed to:

...

(3) Empower the Governor, any political subdivision, or any other governmental authority to in any way limit or prohibit the rights of the people to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of Virginia or the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, including the otherwise lawful possession, carrying, transportation, sale, or transfer of firearms except to the extent necessary to ensure public safety in any place or facility designated or used by the Governor, any political subdivision of the Commonwealth, or any other governmental entity as an emergency shelter or for the purpose of sheltering persons;

So the law has been specifically amended to specifically deny the governor any power under the emergency powers law to limit people's right to lawfully carry guns.

I am curious about what appears to be a huge exception: "except to the extent necessary to ensure public safety in any place or facility designated or used by the Governor."

I think that just means a place literally used by the governor for sheltering people in an emergency, not "any place the governor designates," but I don't know for certain.

Or at least the law's "patron" says so.

Meanwhile, West Virginia invites Virginia gun sanctuary jurisdictions to secede from Virginia and join West Virginia.

West Virginia Delegates use the resolution to pledge that the gun rights now under assault by Virginia Democrats will be protected for those counties that choose to become part of the state of West Virginia:

HCR 8 states:

Whereas, Article VI, Section 11 of The Constitution of the State of West Virginia explicitly permits additional territory to be admitted into, and become part of this state, with the consent of the Legislature and of a majority of the qualified voters of the state; and

Whereas, In a spirit of conciliation, the Legislature of West Virginia hereby extends an invitation to our fellow Virginians who wish to do so, to join us in our noble experiment of 156 years of separation from the government at Richmond; and, we extend an invitation to any constituent county or city of the Commonwealth of Virginia to be admitted to the body politic of the State of West Virginia, under the conditions set forth in our state Constitution, specifically, with the consent of a majority of the voters of such county or city voting upon such proposition; and we hereby covenant that their many grievances shall be addressed, and, we further covenant with them that their firearms rights shall be protected to the fullest extent possible under our Federal and State Constitution.

This is the future. The United States will have to be dramatically reconfigured into multiple states. The left has engineered things so that we are becoming a sectarian state on the verge of civil violence; it's time to part ways with them, and let them seek their own communist bliss.

Let them enslave each other, but let us keep ourselves free.
