Virginia Gun Laws May Flip the National Laws
Virginia Gun Laws May Flip the National Laws

The Summary below is a short online of sheriffs thought on new Gun Law.
Summary of the YouTube Short (WSET ABC 13 News):
In this news report, Central Virginia sheriffs are publicly opposing proposed gun control bills in the Virginia General Assembly, particularly an assault weapons ban and stricter concealed carry rules. They argue these measures infringe on Second Amendment rights.

Key points from interviews:

Amherst County Sheriff Jimmy Ayers criticizes the broad definition of "assault firearms" and semi-automatic rifle bans, stating that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms. He says he will not support or enforce such laws if passed.

Henry County Sheriff Wayne Davis questions age restrictions, noting that 18-year-olds can enlist in the military but might be barred from buying certain firearms. He echoes that sheriffs have a duty not to enforce laws they believe violate the U.S. Constitution.

The sheriffs emphasize that the Constitution states the right to bear arms "shall not be infringed" and are open to lawsuits challenging the bills. A former U.S. Attorney is quoted advising caution but suggests rural sheriffs could collectively refuse enforcement of laws they view as unconstitutional.

The short highlights a broader pushback from multiple Central Virginia sheriffs, framing it as a defense of constitutional rights over new state legislation. It has received significant positive engagement from viewers supporting the sheriffs' stance.
Virginia may rid Themselves many issues

DC Square and Checkmate

"DC Square" most likely refers to the "Make DC Square Again" proposal (or Act), a recent political idea to restore Washington, D.C.'s original boundaries as a perfect 10-mile square.

Background

The U.S. Constitution and the Residence Act of 1790 called for a federal district "not exceeding ten miles square" (100 square miles). George Washington helped survey it as a diamond-shaped square (rotated 45 degrees) straddling the Potomac River, with land from Maryland and Virginia.

In 1846, Virginia's portion (including what is now Arlington County and the City of Alexandria) was retroceded back to Virginia via an act of Congress, mainly due to concerns over slavery and economic issues. This left modern D.C. as a non-square shape on the Virginia side.

About Being Berean
Being a Berean and Rightly Dividing the Word

Rightly Dividing the Word in 2 Timothy 2:15, is to be similar to being Berean and end in the same result. As a believer in the Body of Christ, your faith will increase and personal love for Christ in your life will grow.

[2Ti 2:15 KJV] 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Take note at bottom of the page the other verses that make up the context.
Being a Berean refers to the positive example of the Jewish people in the synagogue at Berea(in Macedonia) described in Acts 17:10-12 of the New Testament. They are praised as “more noble” (or “fair-minded” / “open-minded”) than the Jews in Thessalonica because of how they responded to the gospel message preached by the Apostle Paul and Silas. These Jewish men had an in-depth understanding of the Old Testament and the Gospel that Paul taught with the mysteries revealed to him added to what they understood.

Key Bible Passage (Acts 17:10-12, CSB)
“As soon as it was night, the brothers and sisters sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. Upon arrival, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. The people here were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, since they received the word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Consequently, many of them believed…”
What “Being Berean” MeansTo be Berean is to adopt these key attitudes and practices:
1. Eager Reception of God’s Word.
  They listened openly and willingly, without immediate hostility or prejudice. They received the message “with great eagerness” or “all readiness of mind” — showing humility, teachability, and a genuine desire for truth.

2. Daily, Diligent Examination of Scripture
  They didn’t blindly accept what Paul said(even though he was an apostle). Instead, they searched the Old Testament Scripturesevery day to verify whether Paul’s teaching about Jesus as the Messiah aligned with God’s Word. This was careful, ongoing study — not a quick glance.

3. Result: Genuine Faith
  Because they tested the message against Scripture, many believed — including prominent Greek women and men. Their faith was informed and rooted in truth, not mere emotion or blind following.

Modern Application: “Be a Berean”Today, “Being Berean” is a common encouragement in Christian circles. It means:
- Don’t accept every teaching, sermon, book, or idea at face value — even from respected leaders.
- Test everything against the Bible with an open but discerning heart.
- Study Scripture regularly and eagerly for yourself.
- Approach God’s Word with humility, expecting it to shape your beliefs.
This practice honors God’s Word as the ultimate authority and protects against false teaching (see also 1 Thessalonians 5:21 and Galatians 1:8).

In short, Bereans were noble because they were eager learners who verified truth in Scripture — a model for every Christian who wants a faith that is both passionate and grounded. Below I have included the context and the key verses; The context does add clarity to the depth of the verses.
[Act 17:10-15 KJV]10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people. 14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still. 15 And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.

[1Th 5:21-24 KJV]21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it].

[Gal 1:8-10 KJV] 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

[2Ti 2:14-16 KJV] 14 Of these things put [them] in remembrance, charging [them] before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, [but] to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane [and] vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
