Gun owners around the country are under attack. Bloomberg stooges in blue states sell out their constituents. Even in red states like Montana or Texas, politicians talk blithely about banning guns, magazines and ammunition or of passing Red Flag laws without consideration for due process.
But these reckless actions are also inspiring a REAL resistance....a gun control freeze, in effect. Gun owners in states that have long tolerated onerous laws (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) are refusing to surrender their standard capacity magazines holding over 10 rounds or to register their modern rifles. There have been almost no bumpstocks turned in after the BATF banned them under regulatory laws that made no sense.
County governments, including county sheriffs, have been expressing their defiance of unconstitutional laws. Almost all of New York state's counties have already passed resolutions opposing the SAFE Act gun/magazine ban that Governor Cuomo passed in the dead of night. In Washington state, over half of the 39 counties have already declared that they will not enforce Initiative 1639 rifle restrictions.
One of them is even running for governor in 2020.
So let's talk about the next step: juries that include gun owners who will not vote to convict.
40% of Washington states voters...essentially, its jury pool...voted against millionaire-funded I1639 last year. What if they all pledge not to convict non-criminals who have run afoul of the gun control initiatives Mike Bloomberg foists off on the uninformed... or for any any magazine gun bans enacted in the legislature?
What if prosecutors suddenly have a much harder time obtaining convictions or much larger jury pools need to be summoned to balance out those of us who say NO??
This might slow down substantially the momentum of this anti-freedom activism...or even stop it.
