He said the package includes measures to require universal background checks; establish an Extreme Risk Protective Order; reinstate Virginia’s One Handgun a Month law; prohibit individuals subject to final protective orders from possessing firearms; ban assault firearms; prevent children from accessing firearms; and require individuals to report lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement.

The bill also modifies the definition of assault firearm to any firearm that is equipped with a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

Yeah, word has bee getting around. I'm telling all interested parties to link up with the VCDL and FPC.

I don't think the most egregious portions have a chance in hell this year, but in the next few...


Sad thing is that I escaped California to come to Virginia. All those nuts out there chirping, "Move to a free state!" can blow.

That's why we need to actually start pushing back. We're running out of "free states" to run to.

VCDL (Virginia Citizens Defense League) works very hard to protect Virginia's 2A rights. I highly recommend joining and, at a minimum, sign up for their email updates (VA Alerts, link: https://www.vcdl.org/VA-ALERT )

Lobby day (MLK day) is a strong venue to voice your opinions at the Capital Building in Richmond. VCDL organizes an impressive force for it and can always use more voices to be heard.

Great advice, and no kidding. Republicans still hold a slim majority in the state legislature, but this is an election year and it may only be a matter of time before the anti grown wins the few extra seats they need to push this sort of nonsense through. And with a rabidly anti-gun Governor leading the charge that Dem majority would be disastrous. We'd go full NJ/NY/MA?MD crazy within a few years.

Amen. VCDL is a strong pro 2A voice in Virginia. It's well worth the effort to join and participate when you can.

If we keep putting up terrible candidates. These hard social conservatives don't have a prayer in hell. The state wants to stay red but we do everything in our power to put up candidates that will never win the general.

Good news from VCDL president Philip Van Cleave via VA Alerts email:

************************************************************
1. Legislative Update
************************************************************

Tonight was an excellent night for Virginia gun owners! THAT SAID, IF WE DON'T VOTE IN GOOD PEOPLE IN SEPTEMBER, THIS COULD ALL CHANGE NEXT YEAR.

The anti's behaved themselves tonight. Of course it helped that a Capitol police officer was in the room the whole time to serve as a reminder to keep things civil. Chairman Farris made it clear in his initial remarks that incivility would NOT be tolerated.

Even Richmond Mayor Stoney, with interim police chief in tow, was there to push gun control.

BIG THANKS TO THE REPUBLICANS, WHO ALL VOTED CORRECTLY TONIGHT: Matt Fariss, Mike Webert, Nick Frietas, and Jeffrey Campbell.

NOTE: Keep Democrat John Bell in your prayers. He had to leave the subcommittee early tonight because of a tragedy within his family. No further information at this time.
