So what is the missing link now? I think we have most of the Va. towns and counties on board where they have declared themselves to be a 2A sanctuary, along with the Sheriffs Dept. What the Va. National Guard is thinking is not known. Would they follow the Governor's orders to march on the people or would they stand down too.
What the NG needs is something more visible and concrete to dwell on and that is a state-wide armed Civilian Constitutional Militia that is a formal organization with an organizational identity. It would be by Town, reporting into a County and then into Regions, then into a State Hq. It would truly be to uphold and protect, the Constitution of the U.S. (and the Va. Constitution), from all enemies, both foreign and DOMESTIC. It could work with the Sheriff's Dept. too if those groups can remember their roots. Now the Governor and the NG has something bigger to worry about whenever the NG mission is to trample on the Constitutional rights of the people.
Then this can be replicated in every state. Now the Rights of the People will have fewer elected officials going after their rights.
