I don't think it's true that the fed can't help us if we don't help ourselves. Even if we do nothing, the administration can file with a judge looking for a stay on the law until it can be judged if it is constitutional or not.  It isn't constitutional, so that will be the end of that, unless the governor refuses to stop the action there.  If that happens, then the president will be able to use the insurrection act. Insurrection Act:  https://duckduckgo.com/?q=insurrection+act+of+1807&t=ffnt&atb=v198-1&ia=web None of this requires any action on your part.  Our government is there to protect us from these acts.  We live in a country where laws prevent us from having to rise up by design.    The left is egging you on to rise up.  Fake pictures of UN trucks in VA yesterday.  Fake news story from Zero hedge claiming the UN is hiring people to confiscate your guns. Why do you think this is happening in VA and not a bright Blue state?  New York would accept this.  but they are doing it in a state they knew Gun owners would fight it tooth and nail.  They want an insurrection.      I think this will be the first time a law is passed to say you can confiscate guns form felons.  Understand that the gov already backed off of gun confiscation state wide and are now proposing removing guns from felons only. I am not saying this would be okay.  If it comes to that I support you all standing up against tyranny, absolutely!  But I just really don't think its going to come to that.  It can be years before these kinds of cases make it through he judicial branch up to the appeals courts and then the Supreme court if necessary.     The law would be voted on in January but not take place till June.  So you have time to prepare if there is no intervention filed against the law.  You must not rise up unless there is no legal recourse.  Dems want riots to justify removing Trump.
