“We have received multiple questions regarding proposed legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session and the authority of the Governor of Virginia to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law enforcement role. Please make sure you share this message with your all of your personnel.
We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and 2nd Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of the Virginia National Guard. I encourage everyone to be patient while we allow our elected officials to work through the legislative process.
We have not received any requests from the Governor, or anyone on his staff, about serving in a law enforcement role related to any proposed legislation.
I expect our Soldiers, Airmen and members of the Virginia Defense Force to be professional and respectful in their discussions about this subject. As private citizens, our personnel are free to express their opinions to their elected officials, but they should not engage in any political activity while in a uniformed status.
We will provide regular updates when appropriate during the General Assembly session. Please utilize your chain of command to direct any questions or concerns to my office, and we will do our best to address them.”
hahaha! Lexington, no. full of lib Yankees. Appomattox, that’s possible. about any other town, that’s likely, if they don’t get ambushed before they get there. I hope cool heads prevail, I hope my guard brothers uphold their oath. but too many people are too fed up and they want blood. god help us all.
o.k. everyone take a setp back from the firing range.
someone smarter and better connected than I am needs to start a recall petition and remove, legally and bloodlessly, Northam, and everyone else that can legally be recalled.
we have the support, let’s do this the right way.
when you go straight to “off with their heads” you sound just like the Antifa losers who demand things always be their way, or there will be violent results. we are better than that. calm down, take things one step at a time, check all rhe boxes, and keep all your options open….and your powder dry.
A double Amen Xtron. You are on the right path in my opinion. Cooler heads must prevail. If all, and I do suggest all, avenues to stop this insanity have been taken then and only then should folks give thought to going full retard. I just hope folks remember that once you send that round down range you can’t recall it. I suggest both sides give this more thought before things go loony tunes.
All I will say is one must confront the brutal facts. The fact is the 2nd civil war started years ago. This is just another round in the socialist onslaught. Sure cooler heads should evaluate, but don’t forget the enemy has a vote too, and they vote to confiscate.
