Virginia – We’ve just learned that the Governor of Virginia is expected to declare a state of emergency and reportedly has riot police and the National Guard at the ready, all while a number of counties are threatening to secede.
On Tuesday, a resolution was introduced by West Virginia (House Concurrent Resolution 8, or HCR 8), offering the Second Amendment sanctuary counties of Virginia to secede and join their State.
West Virginia became a state during the Civil War in 1863 after seceding from the Confederate State of Virginia. The population was divided over the issues surrounding the war, and people of what is now West Virginia felt their interests were neglected, that they were underrepresented in the state government, and that they were carrying the majority of the burden of taxation. So, they became their own entity.
Enter: West Virginia’s resolution.
In part, the new resolution references the unfair tax claims between counties. It then goes on to elaborate on Virginia’s government attempting to strip its citizens of their right to bear arms.
Things are looking increasingly restive over there; that'll happen when things are run by Democratics - who thought slavery was just fine, back in the day. That's why West Virginia split off. Now Virginia Democratics want to violate the US Constitution by stripping the proles of their right to bear arms. As a result, residents of several counties are now considering another round of secessions from the state, which West Virginia is welcoming.
Some things never change, even after 156 years.
