Keith Hardine: Virginia Wants To Outlaw Self-Defense Training?

George Tucker, a legal scholar on the 2nd Amendment believed like every other American Founder, that the right of revolution begins with the right of individuals to defend their life, liberty and property. According to MR. Tucker’s 1803 Commentaries:

“This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty...the right of self defence is the first Law of Nature...in most Governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible...'"

In what is strikingly different today from the views that the American Founder’s expressed during the American Revolution; is that the State of Virginia—now entirely run by truly insane Democrats who support infanticide and child murder (Abortion)—is proposing a new 2020 law known as SB64 which will be taken up by the Democrat-run Senate beginning January 8, 2020.

* Specifically, the law says that a person “is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity” (a class 5 felony) if that person:

“Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons…”

The phrase “technique capable of causing injury or death to persons” covers all forms of martial arts and self-defense training, including Krav Maga, BJJ, boxing and other contact martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do or Tai Chi.

Under the proposed law, all forms of self-defense training — including hand-to-hand martial arts training — would be considered “paramilitary activity,” even if the training consists of private classes involving just one instructor and one student. That’s because every form of martial arts training imparts skills which could be used to cause injury to other persons.

In fact, according to the language of the law, just “one” person learning such arts is a felony crime, which means that watching a DVD on Krav Maga would be a felony crime.

Notice that Jesus himself, never made a single attempt to “confine” his disciple’s “Natural Right to keep and bear arms for self defense within the narrowest possible limits...” No! He merely exhorted them to be mindful of the proper time to use them. As Jesus asked them in Luke 22:35-36, (NLT):

“When I sent you out to preach the Good News and you did not have money, a traveler’s bag, or an extra pair of sandals, did you need anything?” “No,” they replied.

“But now,” he said, “take your money and a traveler’s bag. And if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one!” What other use could two swords have but to defend one’s self from bandits along the way?

Now here is the full text of the proposed Virginia law:
