Taking Guns Away From Virginians?

Herr Staatsoberhapupt und Gaultier von Virginia Ralph Northam is moving 
towards confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens. It appears that the
special target of that Fascist goal are those scary-looking, faux, "assault rifles"
which, with all other rifles, inflict fewer murders than knives or "blunt objects".

Of course, those rifles are the best weapons to "put down" ordinary criminals,
those waging (eg Islamist) terrorism in the USA and tyrannical politicians.

I suggest that he (And his SA supporters) reflect on the statements of other 
Virginians.
1. "No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms"; "The strongest reason 
or the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to
protect themselves against tyranny in government"; “What country can preserve
its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of
resistance. LET THEM TAKE ARMS.”. (President Thomas Jefferson)
2. "The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil 
interference---They deserve a place of honor with all that is good.";  "Firearms
are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples' 
liberty teeth". (President George Washington)
3. To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always
possess arms and, and are taught alike, especially when young, how to use 
them.” (Richard Henry Lee Who offered the original motion for independence
from England at the Second Continental Congress).
4. To disarm the people is the best and most effective way to enslave them”
 (George Mason, American Revolutionary)
