Virginia Democrats want to ban all forms of martial arts and gun training

Virginia is going straight down the drain. We must not be fooled: the 1A is all but gone and so is the 2A, which protects the 1A. Virginia Democrats are out for blood and gun owners are in their crosshairs. These are the same people who want to kill babies after they are born.

A proposed amendment to a 30-year-old Virginia law would make it illegal to bring a firearm to any gathering if it can be proven that the goal was to 'intimidate any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm ."

In short, if someone brings a firearm to a permitted event such as the ill-fated United the Right rally, and it can be argued that their goal was to intimidate Antifa counter-protesters as opposed to carrying in self-defense, that person could be subject to Class 5 felony charges under the amendment introduced by State Senator Louise Lucas (D-18th District).

The amendment stems from a lawsuit brought against Unite the Right organizer (and professional provocateur) Jason Kessler and several militia groups, accusing them of violating the state’s existing statute governing “unlawful paramilitary activity.” As a result of the lawsuit, “eleven named defendants had signed consent decrees in which they are “permanently enjoined from returning to Charlottesville, Virginia, as part of a unit of two or more persons acting in concert while armed with a firearm, weapon, shield, or any item whose purpose is to inflict bodily harm, at any demonstration, rally, protest, or march.”,” according to IREHR.

Of note, the statute does not declare tactical training illegal as has been reported elsewhere, as the existing law - which has been on the books more than 30 years - already makes it illegal if someone “teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device” if said training " will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder. "

Given that most firearms instruction is intended for self-defense in all situations and not specifically during “civil disorder,” we don’t envision Virginia authorities barging in on training courses anytime soon.

The amendment can be seen below. New portions are italicized.

A BILL to amend and reenact §18.2-433.2 of the Code of Virginia, relating to paramilitary activities; penalty.


Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1 . That §18.2-433.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§18.2-433.2. Paramilitary activity prohibited; penalty.

A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:

1 . Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive , or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or

2 . Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive , or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder ; or

3 . Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any components or combination thereof .

2 . That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to §30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 854 of the Acts of Assembly of 2019 requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to §30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

The 2nd went before the 1st. “Shall Not be infringed” never had a footnote saying “except for gun control laws stripping most of the population of their rights”. The number of citizens living in areas of gun control measures is greater than the number living outside those areas. Even Heller decision was utter crap, just window dressing.

This could never stand up to review in the federal courts for numerous reasons not the least of which is it’s intentional vagueness as to what would constitute a violation.

If Falconists are elected to office we will have mandatory gun and martial arts training for all teenagers

That works only if there were a nation wide gun ban and there were no more guns.

Where’s the freedom in that. :man_shrugging:

Why? All of those people can simply practice what they preach and forego armed protection. Let them live like the rest of us. The only person responsible for my personal security is me.

Like I said, it would only work if there were no guns.

I hope Virginia Democrats send the Virginia State Police door-to-door to come and take every sing damn gun that exists in the Commonwealth. All of you law abiding gun owners will comply too, because if you didn’t you’d all be criminals.

PARTS OF VIRGINIA ARE FIGHTING BACK

Amelia County Sheriff Walker has stated that he will NOT enforce unconstitutional Gun laws even if ordered by a Judge. The sheriff has stated that his duty is to uphold the oath of the Constitution of the United States and will NOT Confiscate Guns even if under a judge’s order. Several counties in VA have also come out as '2nd Amendmt sanctuaries…but NOVA is still screwed.

THIS IS ALL BALONEY! THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT STOPPING EVERYTHING AND TAKING EVERYONES RIGHTS AWAY! ALL FAKE NEWS. DO SOME RESEARCH![quote=“Bucky, post:1, topic:6029, full:true”]

Virginia is totally blue now and completely obliterated.

The State of Virginia, now entirely run by truly insane Democrats who support infanticide and child murder, is proposing a new 2020 law known as SB64 (see link here) which will be taken up by the Democrat-run Senate beginning January 8, 2020.

The law would instantly transform all martial arts instructors into criminal felons . This includes instructors who teach kickboxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, boxing and even Capoeira.

It would also criminalize all firearms training classes, including concealed carry classes.
