These idiots in Virginia politics have no regard for history or understanding of it.

Right there, within the VIRGINIA Declaration of Rights, which PRE-EXISTED the United States Bill of Rights, is the following language...

Article I. Bill of Rights

Section 13. Militia; standing armies; military subordinate to civil power

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

THAT is EXACTLY how the Bill of Rights 2nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted.

But the idiots on the left and the anti-gunners don't want to know truth...

...so they'll push and they'll push until the truth is facing them barrel end first straight on in the face .
