I am adamantly opposed to McAuliffe's unconstitutional order #50, illegal infringement of my rights!
 

Fact: The authors of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as the United States Constitution referred to the militia, and the militia consisted of all able-bodied men, age 16 to 60, to participate in self-defense. They were required to meet once a month to drill with their own firearms, mostly personal rifles that they used to hunt with. They were required to load and reload and fire four times a minute, hence the phrase well regulated. The militia therefore was and is we the people. We not only have the right to freely own and bear arms, it is our civic responsibility to do so.

McAuliffe is obviously ignorant of our Constitution as recently demonstrated by his rebuke by the Supreme Court of Virginia. For McAuliffe to continue to issue tyrannical and dictatorial executive orders in clear contradiction to the sacred rule of law, and of the Constitution, governing the citizens of the Commonwealth is nothing short of breathtaking hubris and arrogance. His denial of my God-given rights to self defense is clearly illegal, immoral, and reprehensible  Order #50 should be recended immediately!
