A Virginia bill, SENATE BILL NO. 64, to amend and reenact a previous law relating to paramilitary activities and the related penalty is flying under the radar. This bill, if passed, could be an entry into some slippery legislation with serious repercussions to gun owners and patriots.

Some of the alarming language used could put a person in prison for training to use a firearm.

The bill states that “A person is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he: 1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; 2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder”.

This is 100% unconstitutional and a blatant disregard for the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. This bill is in line with the “Intolerable Acts of 1774” and should be treated the same way.
