There&#8217;s a lot going on, right now. Virginia is only one of the issues. I, thankfully, don&#8217;t live there. I live hundreds of miles from there. But, should it happen, that way, HERE? I can tell you this. I do not play &#8220;offense&#8221;. I do, however, play defense. And I play it well. I see that I got ZERO &#8220;likes&#8221; or comments to my diatribe of the other day.

Now, I&#8217;m seeing it more and more on trusted website comments section.

(It IS, and the duty to not follow an unlawful order is as binding as the duty to follow a lawful one). But, what happens when it gets kicked up to the state level, (the Nat&#8217;l Guard), or the FEDERAL level? Either way&#8230;.are you prepared to open fire on your brother or sister? Your uncle or aunt? Your cousin? Remember, once it goes to the state level, the National Guard, it becomes a lawful order. Are you READY? <em>Please<\/em> don&#8217;t hand me that &#8220;<em>molon llabe<\/em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>cold, dead hands<\/em>&#8221; trope. ANSWER the QUESTION!
