Ask your new legislators why they think the gun control measures they are proposing will succeed in Virginia when the same kinds of laws passed in Maryland in 2013 did not. Violent crime in Baltimore is awful.
“Awful” is not a highly technical term. It’s not observable, measurable or repeatable. For folks who are caring, concerned and experienced... there might be a good chance they’ll know awful when they see it and be correct when they say it.
Short version is I appreciate your sentiment but think it’s much better offered with facts and data. Surely the Baltimore and MD stats for before and after are available. They will make the case you speak of.

You're naive if you think any of these proposed laws have anything to do with public safety. Like all anti 2A laws these are all about control. Until gun rights advocates stop deluding themselves about public safety the left will continue to pass these bills.
This. They don't care about their effectiveness and they are shameless enough to not care that they are pushing laws that don't work and harm good Americans.
It is worth putting it in their face Patriot Picket style to get that message to the public at large but it will not sway those that cashed Bloomberg's checks and are doing his bidding.
They don't care about crime. To a degree, crime actually helps them advance their agenda.
Even gangs and cartels are just other power blocs to be managed, co-opted, or leveraged to advance the Game of Power.
What they can't allow are a bunch of independent, self sufficient peasants with the means to resist.

Man, I love facts and data...just as long as someone else does the legwork to produce it.
Sorry to be a wanker.
It will though play better with some hard data...just a bit n
They break Virginia they will break other states .
Yep. Proves nobody is safe.
The truth of the matter is that even AFTER gun owners uniformly understand this is not about public safety, they will continue to pass these bills as long as they are in power.
They need to called out on it..there are still fudds who think it's about public safety and therefore the gun grabbers will never come for their hunting guns...
