VA Gun Bill Day & MAGPUL Airdrop 1/13/20!

Deep Lurker · Dec 23, 2019

Virginia’s first and critically important GUN BILL DAY in 2020 — the first day to provide testimony against the lunatic Northam/DemocRat’s proposed gun ban/confiscation bills - - is MONDAY, JANUARY 13th!

NRA-ILA will be there to greet you at the Capitol beginning at 8 AM.

It will also be the day at the State Capitol that the NRA-ILA conducts a ”MAGPUL airdrop” and NRA shirt giveaways for those attending.

The NRA-ILA has already commenced their full-court press against the Democrat gun banners, well before the Virginia General Assembly session opens on Wednesday, January 8, 2020.

The power-mad Dems intend to expedite their leftist crazy-town gun ban/confiscation legislation schemes through the legislature and directly onto the desk of Racist Gov. Northam Bedford Forrest very early in the Assembly session, thus the emphasis by NRA-ILA on obtaining overwhelming testimony against these bad bills in committee on January 13th.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This first committee hearing taking testimony on the Dems proposed gun ban legislation - - the first Virginia “GUN BILL DAY” - - is ONE WEEK BEFORE the large and influential LOBBY DAY event sponsored by the Virginia Citizens Defense League on Monday, JANUARY 20th.

Anyone who is available to testify in person on January 13th is asked to help pack the committee hearing room and to testify on January 13th, and of course to return if you can to participate in VCDL Lobby Day on January 20th.

Thanks. I'll look into being there and possibly testifying and submitting written testimony.

Unfortunately, I’ll be out of town.

Hopefully many of the excellent speakers from the Sanctuary meetings will be able to attend.

Please post (and PM me) if a compelling speaker is unable to attend.

I thought 1/20/20 was Opening Day ?

1/20 is Lobby Day and the day the larger rally has been planned - has been in the works for months now by the VCDL and other groups.

Nothing against our brothers and sisters from Virginia, but I sure hope the NRA and these other groups put the same amount of effort into what we are gonna be up against in Annapolis this year!! I feel for Virginians, but us Marylanders are gonna need help this year too!! God bless all of us!

Depending on how Md and Va go, will tell the tale on how fast it creeps across the whole country.

Sadly, I think the NRA will fight in VA more as they likely think they have better odds there. At least, it seems, the population is with them there. Don't mean to be a downer and will keep fighting here but I think VA has a better chance.

They aren't wrong. NRA-ILA does not have an unlimited budget. From their perspective MD is a lost cause. Of course, they'd have more money if they reigned in Wayne's spending, but that is a topic for another thread.

Opening Day for the Legislatures of both Maryland and Virginia is the same day: Wednesday, January 8, 2020.

Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) has used the Monday of the MLK holiday (this year it is January 20th) for many years as their annual Virginia General Assembly LOBBY DAY.

The Federal holiday afforded so many more people a day off of work, plus Richmond traffic was lighter, the Legislature was in session (despite the holiday) and the Richmond parking meters weren’t patrolled that day.

Thus MLK Day was always a very convenient rallying day for assuring a good turnout.

Until 2020, the annual LOBBY DAY on the MLK holiday was also considered to be early enough in the session to still have enormous influence in preventing the bad Dem bills from either being voted out of committee or voted to passage in the full chambers.

All bets are off in 2020: the NRA-ILA is emphasizing that testimony on Monday, January 13th, 2020 in committee against the bad bills is crucial because the Dems are racing to vote them all out of committee and moving to pass them before the VCDL Lobby Day, when VCDL’s organized lobbying of legislators (and outdoor show of overwhelming support for killing the bad bills) is traditionally effective.

The VCDL LOBBY DAY is still crucial - - matters even more than it has for a more than a decade - - but the flipping of the VA Legislature to the Dems changed everything, including the pace of the legislating.

Same thought I had. Wish NRA would have put this much into 2013 with Maryland and last year with the crazy sh’t they tried to pull.

In War you pick the battles that you are going to win.

VA will be tough but they only have a 2 or 3 seat majority in the Senate

MD is like Custard's last stand the chance of victory is slim to none and slim is on vacation!!!

Agreed. But this is a national problem and it would be nice to see the same effort everywhere. Especially in states like Maryland. Best of luck to all freedom loving Americans, but it would be nice to have the same representation across the board when needed. We all pay the same organization but they pick and choose where they lend support and on what level.

Sadly I believe a good Supreme Court decision on a major case is our only hope at this point in having some of this stop. Everyone did a hell of a job in Maryland last year in Annapolis and I thank you all. But the NRA on a highly represented level was nowhere to be found. At least I didn’t see it.

According to a few in the know it's fairly probable that most dem law makers will not even be in their offices on 1/20..

No matter how much money NRA poured into MD, it really wouldn’t change anything. Libs have a super-majority AND think NRA is Satan. Sad to say, their money is best spent elsewhere....like on the court cases you alluded to

I was going to ask the same thing? Or does NRA still consider us a lost state and just provide testimony? I realize it's like trying to have a conversation with the dead, but come on...

The unfortunate reality in the Maryland political landscape , the NRA is considered the Great Satan to such an extent that a high profile effort by NRA on a particular Bill would bring out more frevored Anti opposition than if they didn't
