Virginia Republicans contrived reading of the Second Amendment supports their insistence on an ever-expanding acceptance of guns. Under the false banner of “guns save lives,” they oppose any compromise. Despite broadly accepted and long-standing laws that regulate alcohol, cars and drugs, they reject common-sense regulation. Disregarding newly created state laws, there are movements to create Second Amendment sanctuaries and militias throughout our rural counties that ignore the existence of structures to maintain law and order. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
