Indeed, some of the county prosecutors that are refusing to enforce Spanberger's new assault weapons ban are effectively arguing that the sovereignty of the people *within* the borders of these red counties can't be overridden by the state legislature!

This is bad. At least 9 county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas of Virginia have now openly declared that they won't enforce the assault weapons ban that the Dem state legislature recently passed.
It's a MAGA nullification movement.
New piece from me:

Governor Spanberger signed an assault weapons ban. Some county prosecutors in pro-Trump areas say they won’t enforce it. Is a new MAGA nullification movement brewing?
