3 words.....license plate readers....get on the confiscation list now, be the first on your block. Will be easy to "red flag" you as a domestic terrorist threat that needs to be disarmed "for the sake of the children." Go if you want, I am staying home.
Which is why the governor is trying to make the capital 'gun-free'.
I have friends that live there that are attending this one.
They win when you fear them. Remember we out number them heavily. If your neighbors can't count on you, you will be sad when you have no neighbors to count on. Don't live in a state of fear. You are a free citizen as long as we all behave like one and defend that status.
Doesn’t work that way, Ga doesn’t share it’s WCL info anyway.
not one single Virginia law has changed yet. The new legislation only went into effect Jan1.
This whole thing is about what “might” happen with the democratic majority there now. Valid fears IMO, but definitely not an excuse not to go there and support.
This ^^^ The best thing us out-of-state folks can do is send them a donation. This kind of battle is expensive, and state groups are always underfunded.
None of these proposed bills are in effect, as you mention. However none have a timeframe to go into effect either, since none have been passed yet. They have been 'pre-filed' so the legislators have a chance to review them before the current session opens.
The assumption is that with Bloomberg hand-picking and funding all the Dem candidates that swept the last elections, the quid pro quo will be that all these gun control bills will be passed.
VA-CDL is holding their Lobby Day demonstration to try and remind these elected officials that a significant number of people are dead set against them.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of the most far-reaching (and BTW, unconstitutional) bills were simply stalking horses. The Dems do this all the time.
Every year we see a new 'AWB' filed in Congress. During the Sandy Hook panic that was the threat they used to try and make 'universal background checks' sound like a moderate approach, when in reality it's what they were aiming for.
I honestly don't think that the Dems will even bother to vote on the confiscation bill, especially if Lobby Day goes well. Take a look at how the Dems pig piled on Beto when he openly admitted that he wanted to confiscate guns. They don;t want open confiscation because then it would all be out in the open.
instead, I believe they are hoping gun owners will fight the wrong battle.
They want us to spend all our political capital fighting a confiscation bill that was never going to pass, but let through a bunch of other bills that are actually worse in the long run because we don't have the money or the clout or the people to stop them all.
This has been their tactic over and over again at the federal level, and I don;t see why they would change the game plan this time around.
