If you want to call it that. My guess would be some disease like syphilis but I don't think it's contagious between species. 

 

He responded that he used penicillin to cure himself.

 

 

Was the goat cured?

Huge overflow crowd assembles at Virginia Beach council meeting over gun sanctuary status

 

Unlike sanctuary cities for illegals, the Washington Post considers the movement propelling Second Amendment sanctuaries a fad and “mainly symbolic.” That only proves further how out-of-touch mainstream outlets like the Washington Post are — more and more municipalities are declaring themselves gun sanctuaries, especially in Virginia, where Gov. Ralph “Coonman” Northam and a majority Democrat legislature have made noises about gun confiscation.

 

The action Monday night was in Virginia Beach, and a video screen had to be set up outside for the huge overflow crowd. Nearly a hundred citizens had signed up to give three-minute statements.

The right to armed resistance to tyranny is one of the few natural rights we actually have.  The fact that these folks haven't resorted to armed resistance yet is a sign that they still believe in the process that bad actors are abusing in an attempt to curtail that right.  Be happy!

Hot Mic Catches Two Virginia Democrats Scheming to Ignore Speeches by 'Mixed Up Little Kid' 'Gun Guys'

 

When Virginia went blue in 2018 with the help of Obama "wingman" Eric Holder and anti-gun mack daddy, Michael Bloomberg, law-abiding gun owners were left on their own.

 

To fight back against the anti-gun blue wave, thousands of Virginians stormed public meetings and passed so-called "Second Amendment Sanctuary" laws to preserve their rights. It was an in-your-face response to Democrats who are fond of sanctuaries for non-citizens.

 

Democrats revealed a spending plan that included a force to remove guns from people and more spending on criminal justice for jail space and prosecutions. Then Democrats asked for public input.

 

Hundreds of Virginians have turned up at these budget meetings to talk about gun rights. Some Democrat lawmakers have listened politely, others have had a sudden urge to go to the bathroom when the "gun guys" show up to testify.

I guess to prevent someone from renting a floor of a privately owned office building and turning it into a shooting range?  I don't get it either.

Resistance? For what? Because they can't win elections? Yes, be happy, we live in the best society this world has to offer.

The purpose of that legislation is to shut down the NRA headquarters in Fairfax.

 

Really...how many other ranges employ more than 50 people?

It doesn't matter who wins elections.  Natural rights are natural rights.  A legitimately elected government official (or legitimately elected government) becomes illegitimate as soon as he (it) infringes on the people's natural rights.

Yep. Democrats, silencing their opposition since forever. But let's keep pretending their harmless and do nothing to silence them first.

 

Yep.  They're attempting to dismantle "opposing" institutions in order to form their one-party state.

 

Not to mention that in 10 years that 50 employee bit will be considered a "loophole" and then Dems will want to close it.

Is taking away a wife beaters guns a reason good enough reason to revolt? I'd say it isn't.

Let's not pretend that that is what this all is about.  You linked an article that says there's more than that and you know it.  Don't be disingenuous for the sake of advancing an illegitimate point.
