Virginia Election Nov 5: Are the Republicans even trying?!

[rockstarr]

These are the same people that ride around with "Civility" plastered on their Prius' bumpers

riiigggghtttt!!!!!

 

[rockstarr]

when is the new congress seated? AKA how long do yall have before the shit starts ?

 

[Mike OTDP]

2 state solution is going to be the only way.

I've long thought that MD, DC, and VA needed to get together and redraw the borders. The I-95 Axis of Leftism can be their own state...and the rest of us can be ours.

Searching the net for some AR mags and a couple pistol braces. Let the panic buying begin!

And the wife is fully on board with getting training and getting herself set up. Before the results came in she was like 'we will get to it when we get to it.' Now she is like 'we need to do it ASAP!'

I wonder if they will ban open carry and go from shall-issue to may-issue.

I'm thinking now may be a good time to apply for a non-res VA permit.

May issue probably not, as the permits are still done county by county, and sheriff's would get bogged down having to do interviews on good cause of each applicant. I could see open carry going permit only.
I would probably count on an AWB though.

If Republicans don't figure out how to win over moderate suburban voters who hate Trump, you can say hello to President Warren and a Democratic Senate next year.

You will need to vote for the most conservative candidate who can win, not the extremists the Republicans have been running. Bevin lost in Kentucky and lost in some pretty red areas of the state. That is a sign they are doing it all wrong.

At the end of the day, you have to read the Bill of Rights and decide what that means...

Do it or don't...

It just is. Power will always want to tell you how to be.

"Give me your rifle, you don't need that."

At the end of the day it doesn't matter, it never mattered, I can point at dead ancestors and illustrate that quickly enough...

 

[Oldline6]

This is a Constitutional issue, PERIOD.

Being scared of politicians is nonsense...

What matters and what doesn't?

 

[Oldline6]

They are called Natural Rights for a reason...

This really is quite simple...

 

[namrelio]

Just look at this...Not one person pictured knows what happens to the gas they put in their car. Or how a lightbulb works. Or how to change that selfie they just took from landscape to portrait...But they're 100% certain that there are more than 2 genders and that they are uniquely qualified to rule over the rest of us.

A VERY good observation, but a damn shame its the truth. We would be better off being invaded by Isis than them SOBs.

I could see a future where states will start to split. there will be 75- states if this keeps up. Counties will splits from the main state. They are flirting with this idea in NY and CA. I could see it happening elsewhere

I would love for Western and Eastern Shore of MD to break away. Better yet, I would love to see just the center part of the state break away. However, the people from those area will just move to the new areas and infect it.

The blue wave also got PA:

Locally, Democrats will hold all five seats on the Delaware County Council, a Republican stronghold since the Civil War, and also assumed a majority on the legislative body in Chester County. In Bucks County, Democrats captured the Board of Commissioners for the first time since 1983.

Trump is going to be for the Democrats what Obama was for the Republicans. Under Obama, Democrats lost a lot of elections at the state level, and Federal House and Senate. Obama decimated the Democrat party.

Since almost all action on guns happens at the state level, the next 5 years will likely be bad unless the GOP gets its shit together.

Looking at the results, apparently not.

 

[Occam]

Since almost all action on guns happens at the state level, the next 5 years will likely be bad unless the GOP gets its shit together.

And almost all FIXING what happens occurs in the courts, where Trump and McConnell have been setting records for seating constitutionalist judges and justices. Hard to overstate the value of what's happening in the federal courts. That will have serious legs for decades.

 

[GMG66]

All ye winers have nobody to blame but Trump. His family and his administration are all carpet baggers, interested in nothing more than improving their bottom line. The NRA has followed that pattern and will be going down just like the president.

The issue (here) has become that of you aren't swinging from Trumps sack you are labeled to be some kind of Socialist or worse.

The issue isn't just "here." We will have a national election. The winner will be Trump, or it will be one of the people in the party that has indeed swung leftwards into an embrace of socialism as the central thesis for their vision of governance. You don't want people to vote for Trump, which leaves one viable option. How is this confusing, or "(here)" in some way?
