Defend Your Rights

These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. — Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 1776

Free citizens of Virginia, we stand behind you.

Your state legislature has wasted no time in working to restrict or eliminate your God-given rights to the tools of liberty, turning thousands of your fellow citizens into potential felons. This is one of the most egregious overreaches by a state government in a long time.

Exercising Constitutional rights should never be against the law.

More than fifty of your counties have passed “Second Amendment Sanctuary” resolutions. Tazewell County supports your right to form a militia, and the Culpeper County Sheriff said he will deputize “scores of residents” to fight against state-imposed gun control.

We at the Armored Republic know that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, and that the tools of liberty are your right as a free citizen of our Republic.
