We need to keep our legislators aware that we are watching.
If you're not already a VCDL member, join now. If you're already a member, please consider an additional donation. Member or not, try to join us in Richmond for Lobby Day in January, we need a huge turnout this year. |

Not any time in the next few years, no. Should we eventually lose control of the General Assembly when a Democrat is governor then sure, anything could happen.
We're safe for now, though, which is really all we can worry about. |

Demographicly, it is headed toward being MUCH bluer. It's only a matter of time until they control both houses plus governorship. At that point, they WILL pass a Virginia AWB and limit mags to 10 rounds again. |

I don't say this in a mean-spirited manner, and I don't meant to imply that the OP isn't fully dedicated to the cause.
But if we keep thinking of this issue as a matter of "toys", our arguments won't have as much weight. Words mean things... this isn't just a hobby to me. |

Of course it is possible, and we had better all act like it is possible.

Technically, we already have an "Assault Weapon" law.
Anything can happen, particularly with "Northern" Virginia spreading further South and West. Stay informed and stay involved. |

View Quote Yep, even some of the most down to earth pro gun communities have had proposed anti2A legislation come out of nowhere....community organizing to leftist ideals is in effect. We've even seen places like Newport News think they could upstage it to the Commonwealth. Previously, I've pointed out the very influential Virginia Municipal League is pushing stuff on us at the state level(ETA local level efforts, but statewide influence). There's more being cooked up against us then we recognize and I would say a false sense of security here. If we have to vote for R's like Gillespie again, we will not have the support we think. |

Va will eventually fall, the demographics are just not on our side. While it probably won't be for 20+ years, NOVA is a cancer (no offense to our NOVA brothers) that is destroying Va's freedom. Va is becoming more liberal and the state GOP is run by GOPe, bible thumping morons who believe that GOPe/Bible thumpers can still be elected to high positions in Va.
While we have elected moron governor's before, it is a real low point to have elected Timmay not only to Governorship but to US Senate (he will most likely retain his seat in 18), then to elect a full on out and out proud anti gun dumbass like McAulife.
Join and donate to the VCDL, email, call, talk in person to your reps, even if they are not on our side. We will eventually fall, but it shouldn't be done quietly. |
|
I'm afraid it'll happen eventually, but not too soon. Even when enough districts vote democrat, most Virginians are still very pro-gun at the moment. Though that is changing slowly, I think we're going to hold out for a while.
|
|
While Northern Virginia is more liberal than the rest of the state, still, it is less liberal than Maryland or D.C. The reason is that when people come from outside the region to work for the federal government (or one of its many contractors), they self-select the jurisdiction that they live in, according to their ideology. All of the more conservative newcomers locate to Virginia, while the true-blue liberals choose the District or Maryland. That's why Virginia as a whole will never be as liberal as Maryland. Certainly, gun owners, when faced with the choice, would not knowlingly locate to Maryland. (The District isn't even in the running.)

The Antis are gaining hearts and minds, not just in NoVA. but in other areas, so we need to be active in a positive manner. Now is the time for all of us to be ambassadors, with the current rhetoric about gun control, I've had a few people ask about carrying or getting a gun, or counter augments to the antis. Now is the time for the discussion if you're in an active shooter, burglary, assault, etc, do you want to be able to defend yourself and family? California has all the gun control, restrictions, background checks, waiting periods, that the antis are asking for, so its not the solution. |
|
Just my opinion, but one of the biggest things you can do to help keep VA from turning into another MD, NY, NJ, etc... Don't hide the fact that you're a gun owner. I know all the arguments about OPSEC, but gun owners staying in the shadows is what helped sink those states for them.
There are huge numbers of gun owners in those states, but most would never know it, because they all stay hidden. When it looks like owning a gun is out of the ordinary, or something to be ashamed of, people uneducated about them have no problem going along with restrictions/bans. |

Anti-gun troll? You're out of your fucking mind. I've been shooting and collecting guns since before you were born, sonny boy. And they're not just fudd guns, either. You need to take a break. Maybe your mommy will bring you some nice Kool-Aid or something. ETA: And not that it's any of your business, but I voted for Cuccinelli. I had to. I would much more have preferred to vote for Bill Bolling, but he got ambushed at the state convention and wasn't on the ballot. |

Gentlemen, this is not GD and your posts are to reflect that. You can disagree, but please do so in a respectful manner.

I think we will something of an executive order from the McAwful. Here is my reasoning, Obama and Hellary have both promised EOs and I think McAwful will allow himself and the CW with pressure from Kaine to be their petri dish for the experiment to see just how much WE will endure before demanding a repeal and a recall.
McAwful has already made on EO and most would think that "well, that is not so bad....no guns in state buildings....I can live with that as it does not affect me".. So know a precedence has been set and others will point and use these as a reason for more erosion of our RIGHTS. I think the VCDL got it right with their response. I just renewed my membership, sadly I will not be able to make Lobby Day though. M2C, thank you |

Mc Aullife cant do anything to ban magazines, or any kind of firearm with an EO.
His EO powers are severely limited. One thing might be a problem, and thats 41p, and shall sign for NFA items. We wont see that as long as he is in office. |

Apologies in advance to the pro-2A transplants to Virginia but the fact is it's the transplants that are the real cancer. They are not just moving into NoVA to work but to points west 60-80 miles away.
My next door neighbor is moving to the Tidewater area (job related) and have their house for sale. So far all the people I've noticed that have looked at their house have been driving vehicles with out of state tags. I've seen at least two from NY. |

Quoted: Quoted: Yes, especially if people here keep voting Sarvis the Republican party keeps nominating people like Cuccinelli. Now I hope he doesn't run againin 2017. Of course, many will roundly complain about how Ed Gillespie is a bad nominee or not conservative enough and sit the race out or vote for Sarvis. And that will be how we get Governer Northam.
The House, and Speaker Bill Howell, are who you can thank for the current firewall (66 GOP members) against anti-2A legislation in VA for a long time. Certainly safe until the next census. With re-districting after that, who knows... That is why it is important that we vote for our GOP legislators, even if sometime we disagree (or even outright dislike.) |

Quoted: I'm no fan of Cuccinelli, but the guy came very close to winning the Governers Mansion. And that was being outspent by a mile and effectively going dark at th end of the campaign. You and I agree on Cooch personally but his problems stemmed from his inability to raise mone not a problem garnering the votes. He won a State Senate seat in NOVA as well as the AGs race. Now I hope he doesn't run againin 2017. Of course, many will roundly complain about how Ed Gillespie is a bad nominee or not conservative enough and sit the race out or vote for Sarvis.

Gillespie is a GOPe hack, but he actually would have made a decent Senator, I believe, well far better than that piece of shit Warner. It gives me hope that Gillespie didn't run a very good campaign and barely lost to a very popular Warner. Maybe we can get rid of that cock gobbling Obama bastard Timmay. Cooch had his faults, but he was far preferable to McAwful. |
