If I'm reading between the lines, I can't tell which side of the fence this General is on, or if he even cares. I understand the requirements of his position in this regard, but is he sending a signal one way or the other in this piece ? He sounds like a 2A person, but I can't tell for sure, nor how far he would go before he would tell the politicians in Richmond to pound sand when the Governor orders him to go door to door hunting for previously legal guns. VA has citizens who would start a gunfight with the National Guard. They would say FU and start shooting. For many citizens in VA it's more or less that simple. I hope this shit backfires big time on the Governor and State houses.

I read that "statement" and my first thought was, "Damn, another political POS that does not have the guts or integrity to stand up for what is blatantly RIGHT!"

But then, how many of our flag grade officers (reserves, guards, active duty) have the balls to stand up and speak against blatantly anti-American crap like this going on in Virginia?

Remember how many of them were put in place by the previous administration.

My local news is just mentioned that Montgomery County approved a 2A sanctuary resolution last night.

Lt. governor Justin Fairfax appears to be toeing the Dem line, stating that the sanctuary push doesn't change his mind about further gun control.

I ask, because maybe it would be prudent to order a pallet of 15rd mags for my Berettas/Glocks...??

The language about pistols is rather vague at this time. As for a grandfather clause, they’ve already offered that BUT you have to register everything they currently deem evil. As for myself and everyone else I know, we’ve told them, “No deal. Fuck off.”

Serving general officers cannot become arbiters of public policy. If the Adjutant General were to enter the discussion on one side or the other of the argument it would be cause for removal. His means of resistance is to resign. From what I can see, the talk of using the National Guard to enforce civilian law is just coming from loudmouthed idiots revealing their pipe dreams, but is not going anywhere.

I suppose it's prudent to purchase a lifetime supply of regular capacity mags now (guessing ~$1,500 worth) and just keep most of them in a box in the attic.

I’m sure you mean add $1500 worth in addition to current stock...

I do mean to add that many, so long as the grandfather clause is realistic. Without grandfathering, then I'd be wasting that money and risk a class 6 felony if caught...has any state ever 'not' grandfathered existing mags when they switched to 10-round limits?
