We are well aware the 2A is under attack. The fight is on in Virginia. And the fights coming to other states as well.

You don't have to live in Virginia to join or support the VCDL and send a message to the anti-gun legislators.

Get involved and do your part to resist tyranny.

Exc post, thanks for this.

I like the response a lot of the counties of Virginia are sending to Richmond. I'm a member of the WVCDL and they've done a real good job in West Virginia getting things like constitutional carry and getting preemption passed forbidding municipalities from bypassing state and federal gun laws. They've been very effective in West Virginia and I'm sure the VCDL is doing it's best in Virginia.

IIRC, Phil Van Cleave at VCDL was one of the driving forces behind VA loosening its CCW regs back in the '90s to early '00s. Used to be a regular back in the Packing.org days.

The Founding Fathers were smart.
They knew to get us away from a monarchy, protect us from the tyranny of the majority, and explicitly state rights that the government has no authority to take away. They built in checks and balances, protection against urbanization and industrialization dictating how everyone else should live, etc.

And we spent the next 200 years jacking it up.

Just like rural New York, Colorado, Vermont, and Massachusetts,
Reynolds v. Simms has now struck Virginia.

At the federal level, giving each state an equal status in the upper house has been degraded And under attack because it gives less populated states equal representation.

At the state level, the protection rural citizens used to have from their way of life being dictated by cities was eradicated by Reynolds v. Simms.

Yeah, we really need Electoral Colleges at the state level--if we mirrored the Federal structure at State level, many Blue States would be more Purple.
