The right to bear arms started eroding the moment the modern church started agreeing to use force to get benefits from their neighbors.

We have this Democratic Congressman McDonald commented about using the National Guard to enforce governor Ralph Northram’s proposed gun control laws in Virginia. Which are clearly a violation of the Second Amendment. You’re not to infringe upon the right people to keep and bear arms. It’s not keep and bear hunting guns. Keep and bear shotguns. It’s keep and bear arms. Yes, military-grade weapons. The people in America are supposed to have the access to military-grade weapons. And the governments, including the state governments, don’t have a right to keep them from it. According to the rules of the Constitution.
Now there is a way around that. But I’m not going to tell you that. I’ve written a four-part series on that: Does a Christian have a right to self defense? And, of course, a Christian does have a right to self defense. But he approaches it much different than a lot of other people. But the problem is, you guys are being Christians out there. Because you can’t be a Christian and disregard the commands of Christ and do the opposite of what Christ said. And make the word of God to none effect by what you’re doing. Paul said that. Jesus said that. John the Baptist said that. James said it. Peter said it. That you will end up… you can claim that you’re a Christian… You claim that you’re following Christ… But you’re actually a worker of iniquity. Because you’re cursing your children—and you’re cursing your neighbor’s children—with debt. And you say, “Well how do we change this?” Well, repent. Think differently.
But anyway he says he was going to call on the National Guard to enforce these new draconian rules that are coming out of this Democratic Senate in Virginia.
I thought it was almost prophetic that the first TV station to report this was WSLS TV in Roanoke. Roanoke. That’s a place of destruction. That’s a place where everybody dies. They’re alive right now, but if you know history you know what I’m talking about. But anyway, there were some comments by a Major General Timothy P. Williams. I don’t think he’s any relationship to us. But anyway, Timothy P. Williams made this comment and I thought I’d read to you: “We have received multiple questions regarding proposed legislation for the 2020 General Assembly session, in the authority of the governor of Virginia, to employ the Virginia National Guard in a law enforcement role.
What was Caesar’s big mistake? He crossed the Rubicon. What does that mean? He was crossing the Rubicon with troups that were supposed to be national defense. Which is what a National Guard is. It’s supposed to be national defense. Now they’ve called out National Guard there’s floods and everything. But now they just want them to do like a policeman on the roads. And that’s why Caesar was bringing his troops home. To use them as a police force and, also, to guarantee his power.
He says, “Please make sure you share this message with all your personnel. We understand and respect the passion people feel for the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment rights. We will not speculate about the possible use of Virginia National Guard. I encourage everyone to be patient while we allow our elected officials to work through the legislative process.”
What does that process include? Well, it should include the Supreme Court which would overrule these rules as an infringement upon the rights of Virginians to keep and bear arms. What’s happening is that counties are declaring themselves sanctuary counties and saying you can’t enforce those state rules the state statutes in our county. Because we’re going to stand by the Second Amendment which is a part of the Constitution. Which is also law. And these two laws seem to be coming into conflict. You can spend two years in college studying conflict of law. But it’s very clear, the supreme law for all the statute makers—all these lawmakers in the state—is the Constitution.
“We have not received any request from the governor or anyone on his staff about serving in a law enforcement role related to any proposed legislation. I expect our soldiers, airmen and members of the Virginia defense force to be professional and respectful in their discussion about this subject. As a private citizen, our personnel are free to express their opinions to their elected officials. But they should not engage in any political activity while in a uniform status.”
Because this is National Guard. They’re on for a while, they’re off are for a while. But they can be called up in a second, because they’ve taken oath and they’re bound in that. That’s another whole story. But when they’re in uniform, they can’t have a political opinion. They want everybody to figure out this conflict. Because what you see here is groups within the state legislature trying to line up the military against the population of Virginia so that they will be in a literal Civil War with each other. Now it probably won’t get that way under this particular event. But the idea that this idea is entertained in the minds of some of your legislature is a frightening concept. That’s Civil War…. We lost more people in the Civil War than all the other wars combined. The Civil War in America was disastrous. It is the beast turning on the beast. It is a bad thing. And it should be avoided at almost all costs. But not the cost of righteousness. But what the problem is is that people don’t know what’s going on.
“We will provide regular updates when appropriate during the General Assembly session. Please utilize your chain of command to direct any questions or concerns to my office and we will do our best to address them.”
So anyway, that was his comments. And he was making those comments because of the fact that you had these ridiculous statements coming out of legislature’s mouth. “The law is the law.” “They have to obey the statue we pass these laws.” “They must obey it.” “If they don’t obey it, they should resign their office.” No.
