Virginia will begin recalling the nearly 1,700 license plates that feature the Confederate flag
(Washington Post) -- The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles said Thursday that the state will begin recalling the nearly 1,700 license plates that feature the Confederate flag after a federal judge vacated an injunction that required the state to offer such specialty plates.
U.S. District Judge Jackson L. Kiser issued a written order that formally invalidated his 2001 decision requiring Virginia to offer the plates to the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
That ruling is no longer valid, Kiser said at a hearing last week, in light of a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that said banning such license plates does not violate the First Amendment.
The ruling from the bench was enough for state officials to say they would stop issuing the license plates, but they wanted to wait for a written ruling before moving to recall existing plates.

..and my August 7 prediction comes true...i'm pleasantly surprised ...Go Virginia!!!
VA DRIVERS REFUSING TO RETURN CONFEDERATE LICENSE PLATES
Those found driving with the plates will be charged with a misdemeanor.
On Friday, local station WAVY reported that the vast majority of citizens with such license plates have refused to comply with the government’s flag-recall notice. The DMV stated that just 187 Virginians had returned their license plates out of 1,600 who had received a recall notice.
One of those who has refused to heed the call is Kevin Collier, commander of the Stonewall Camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, whose great-great-great-grandfather fought with the Confederacy. “Next thing you know, they’re going to say you can’t wear blue on Monday… or you can’t wear yellow on Thursday,” he told WAVY. “Where’s it going to end?”
The answer: It isn’t. In forwarding the regulation, McAuliffe said the Confederate flag was “unnecessarily divisive and hurtful.” He added, “Even its display on state-issued license tags is, in my view, unnecessarily divisive and hurtful to too many of our people.” Apparently, McAuliffe missed the fact that the victims in Charleston did not suffer from hurt feelings thanks to license plates, but from murder at the hands of a racist renegade criminal. But government’s job is now to protect feelings rather than lives.
...and these people get like this over a confederate license plate (Grant-Lee Surrender spot is 20 miles away from here), I dare 'em to try to take the guns....lmfao...Way to be Vigilant Virginians!!!!
