Virginians all over the Commonwealth have been engaging their local governments. The 2A Sanctuary Movement has been advanced by ordinary citizens doing the extraordinary.
While the Progressives attempt to paint the movement as merely being advanced by the NRA or the local Virginia Citizens Defense League nothing could be further from the truth. The majority of supporters and rally goers are not affiliated with the VCDL though they have been inundated with new membership applications as a result of the New Progressive Virginia Left seeking to confiscate, ban or require registrations of firearms.
Sure lobbying groups are the most familiar and easiest to target or blame in truth by the Progressives. They have been fighting the pro gun forces for a decade now and with the massive funding from Everytown for Gun Safety and Michael Bloomberg they secured the majority in Richmond last month.
That being said, local Democrats especially in rural localities are now getting extremely nervous. Many of these officials are gun owners. They are having to look family and friends in the eye locally and at church having to explain how this has come to pass. In short, its the Northern Virginia Progressive leadership behind all of it in wake of Gov. Ralph Northam's "blackface" episode earlier this year resulting in Northam losing all control of the Democrat Party. His apology tour is still rolling across the Commonwealth.
The mobilization of the grassroots #2AStrong movement has accomplished more than many though possible given the disastrous election last month. The gun control issues were never even made a fundamental issue by the Republican Party of Va and many attending rallies and meetings have stated they felt blindsided by the proposals coming from Progressives.
This just simply has never happened before. No matter which Party was in control in Richmond, no one ever felt insecure about having their firearms taken from them. Until now.
