Action Item: Email VA Senate to dump local gun bans

[Bob A]

From VCDL email:

Urgent Legislative Action Item 2/15/22!

HB 827, Delegate Wilt, repeals authority for local governments to have gun-control ordinances. HB 827 would remove the local gun-bans in sixteen localities, making gun-laws consistent again across the Commonwealth.

HB 827 is coming up in the Senate Judiciary committee TOMORROW afternoon, February 16!

TIME IS SHORT: we need to flood the Senate with emails and phone calls in support of HB 827! If your Senator is Peterson, Morrissey, Deeds, or Edwards, it is particularly important that you contact them, including a phone call if possible!

Send a pre-written email to your Senator in support of HB 827. The link will also give you the option of calling your Senator and leaving a message:

Let’s roll!

Also, if you can attend the Senate Judiciary meeting tomorrow, please do so. Gun-owner turnout at these committee meetings has been poor and that doesn’t help. The meeting will begin thirty minutes after the Senate Floor session ends, which can be as early as 1:30 pm. The meeting is in Senate Room A on the ground floor of the Pocahontas building, 900 East Main St.



(Good news! The bill to repeal Virginia’s Red Flag law, HB 509, Delegate March, passed the House today and is heading to the Senate! An action item on HB 509 will follow soon.)

this is prob the worst gun control passed. it created a total hodgepodge of rules based on what town, city, county, etc you are in. can you imagine there being no traffic lights, no stop signs, no speed limit signs, no nothing yet you have to know how fast to drive, where and when to stop, etc. without massive research and massive memory, it is just impossible.

if anything, this law has to be removed. please everyone phone and email per above and feel free to use my analogy for why that law is horrible.

here's what i wrote, feel free to copy or paraphrase. you merrylanders should also contact them as you're subject to this bullsh1t when passing thru Virginia.

district34@senate.virginia.gov; district16@senate.virginia.gov; district25@senate.virginia.gov; 'district21@senate.virginia.gov'

Dear Senators,

PLEASE vote for HB 827, removing local gun laws.

Can you imagine if you had to drive across our Commonwealth with no stop signs, no traffic lights, no speed limit signs? You would have to do massive research, then remember and follow different laws at every intersection and every stretch of road. CRAZY.

Please don’t make the Commonwealth’s law-abiding citizens have to continue to navigate this maze. REMOVE local gun laws so that at least we only have to know and follow the laws of our Commonwealth, not different gun laws at each town, city, and county.

Thank you for your support. If you are not going to vote to remove local gun laws, I seriously would like to hear your rationale.

Thank you for your consideration.

One of the cornerstones in the gun control agenda is to have such laws in place because it creates such a mess of crap to navigate through. It is absolutely intentional, not by accident at all.

absolutely true. surely one of the reasons MD has the HBAR and related rules, no one knows what it means and thus dealers are very reluctant to ship those into MD.

make it hard to own a gun. make it hard to get a gun. make it hard to use a gun. etc etc. those 'idiots' are NOT stupid.

Sent. This is absolutely ridiculous.
