Militia Standing Against Tyrant In Virginia Who Failed To Learn His History

Generally not a fan of federal intervention upon matters of states' police powers.  But here, where states pursue a registration and confiscation scheme that would disenfranchise millions of their 2A rights, with essentially no rational relation to a legitimate state police function, then I am able to be persuaded that the federal government has a duty to step in.

For example:

See also, reconstruction and federal oversight of states' education and voting systems, Arizona border enforcement, etc.

They can care less as there is no apparent consequences for dishonoring the constitution, especially if you are a politician.

Exactly, which is what I was attempting to suggest as a possible consequence, federal intervention in your states' business. 

Make no mistake, this VA nonsense is coming here, as there are already bills pre-filed for 2020 in WA.

But Washingtonians are pacifists, not like Virginians.

There are a lot of passive aggressive folks in W Wa and Im not sure that would work in the same way with a bunch of stiff necked Virginians.

If Virginia does, in the future, pass laws that violate the second amendment isn't the Supreme Court the constitutionally prescribed remedy to set those laws aside? Unless I'm wrong about that I'm not quite sure how militias and sanctuary counties figure into the equation.

They figure in just exactly like sanctuary cities/counties/states do for disregarding/frustrating Federal Law enforcement.

I don't like the precedent, but it has been set.

They want to shut down every gun range in the state that isn’t owned by the government.
https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/breaking-virginia-vows-to-shut-down-all-gun-ranges-not-owned-by-the-state/

According to House Bill 567, any indoor shooting range would be prohibited by law – UNLESS it was inside of a building owned or leased by the state.

And any business owners who decided to defy the law could be facing up to a $100,000 fine and potential additional civil penalties.
And the ones allowed to stay open will have to have complete records of whoever shoots there.  Because that registration won't happen voluntarily.
