Democrats in the Commonwealth of Virginia are threatening communities that declare themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries.

On Wednesday, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam said that localities could face �consequences� if law enforcement officers don't enforce the new proposed gun laws.

�There's not going to be retaliation. That's not what I'm about. I'm about making Virginia safer,� Northam told reporters. �If we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it.�

The argument in favor of arbitrarily revoking the Second Amendment rights of college students, as is done in dozens of states, has ostensibly been rooted in safety concerns.

And it just got a lot weaker.

Two anti-gun professors wrote in the Washington Post that �campus-carry laws will invite tragedies on college campuses, not end them.� Another liberal professor, writing for the New York Times, warned that �when there are more guns around, there is more risk � it�s as simple as that.�

Some local governments in Virginia have passed resolutions on second amendment rights since the November election, when Democrats won majorities in both the House of Delegates and Senate, increasing the likelihood that a highly restrictive gun law could be passed in 2020, such as the one proposed in Senate Bill 16.
