It started with sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants….Basically, it was local politicians declaring they did not care what the law was, they were going to do what they felt like.
It perhaps never occurred to them that two can play at that game.
So now, in Virginia and elsewhere we have this:
More than 100 Virginia cities, counties declare themselves gun sanctuaries as Dems prepare to take legislature

And it appears to be gaining momentum:
The Gun Sanctuary Movement Is Exploding
And this:
Counties in Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia, Arizona, and Texas became part of a growing "Second Amendment sanctuary" movement this month.

So now, factions on both side of the political spectrum have decided they will simply ignore laws they don't like.
And I imagine each side feels justified, and believes the other side is not.
And so here we are.
It's a brave new world.
