Second Nature
First, “Is it important for men to own firearms to be able to answer the call to oppose tyranny, or in other words, does the militia have a valid role in today’s society?” We may answer, yes, and in the superlative in today’s society. Second, “Should compulsory militia membership be required as a precondition for firearms ownership?” To which we may answer, the mere asking of the question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the source of our rights, the history of colonial America, God’s expectations for us, and the reasons for the Bill of Rights.

“No Virginian should ever feel unsafe when they are voting whether they are voting in person on Election Day or whether they are voting in person early,” said Attorney General Herring. “Last year, I made it a top priority to ensure safe, secure voting across the Commonwealth, and I intend to do the same during this year’s election cycle.” [More]
What does he know that useful idiots who voted for him in spite of the blackface can't seem to wrap their silly "minds" around? Aside from settled law that police have no duty to protect...?
And good of him to tell us he's smarter than the Founders, and that which they considered "necessary to the security of a free State," that is, a key provision of that which he swore an oath to support, is "arcane."
I suppose under the kind of regime he's trying to impose, it is.
[Via Mack H]
'Settled Science'
Another peer reviewed study found that after controlling for a wide-range of demographic and social factors, firearm licensing laws were associated with an 11% reduction in firearm homicides in urban counties (1984-2015). This suggests that permitting laws help to address the high rates of firearm violence disproportionately impacting underserved Black communities in cities. [More]
"Were associated with..."
