<p>&#8220;Grayson County Virginia Sheriff Richard Vaughan is here with his deputies. He said he won’t enforce stricter gun laws,&#8221; The Virginian-Pilot&#8217;s <a href="https://twitter.com/AlissaSkelton">Alissa Skelton</a> reported. &#8220;We are here to stand up for the Second Amendment, he said.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Many people are shaking his hand and thanking him,&#8221; noted Skelton.</p>
<p>&#8220;If the bills go through as proposed, they will not be enforced,&#8221; Mr. Vaughan said on camera. &#8220;They&#8217;re unconstitutional. We swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia, and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ll do.&#8221;</p>

<p>Protesters gathered in the wake of three controversial gun control bills passing the Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate last week. “The three bills that made it through include a law that will allow local authorities to ban weapons from public spaces during some events, another that limits handgun purchases to one a month, and a law requiring background checks for all firearm purchases,” <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-governor-declares-state-of-emergency-over-massive-gun-control-protest-here-are-the-three-gun-control-laws-causing-all-the-controversy">The Daily Wire</a> reported.</p>
<p>“The good guys won’t have the guns,” argued Republican Sen. Amanda Chase (Chesterfield). “They won’t be able to protect themselves, and we’re basically creating a disastrous situation in which criminals will not follow the law, and it will only hurt and create victims.”</p>
