So Obama/Hilary's boy (the governor) has an “emergency” state-agency (such as DMVs) gun ban in place.   That emergency ban runs out in 18 months.  What will follow it, is a permanent gun ban.
The permanent gun ban is being done following the normal method - it is listed in the Regulatory Town Hall and is required to get comments from the public for about six weeks.  I am told by someone who would know that if we can provide an overwhelming number of comments providing good reasons for the regulation not to be implemented, we stand a chance of stopping the regulation if the press picks up on the issue and runs with it.

Simply urging the Governor to drop the idea is a waste of time, as he has already made up his mind.  We want to get the attention of the press and others.
As a bonus, with a huge negative response, the Governor cannot point to the Regulatory Town Hall and say that no one responded because they agree with what he is doing!
Unlike letters and email sent to the Governor, which he can hide from disclosure by placing them in his “Governor’s working papers,” your comments in the Regulatory Town Hall are public and visible to all.

Another important note.  If at least 25 of us also request that the comment period be extended, it will get another 30 days added to the cut-off date (currently January 27th).

Make sure that the subjects clearly says that you're against such ban. Right now we have 2464 comments and 99% are against. But we can do better than this.

Tag for later.

Dupe VA thread

Anybody who is eligible to get a permit should go out of their way to get a permit.
If nothing more than to be a statistic.  

VA has 8.23 Million people it. Imagine the message that would be sent to Terry McIdiot if all the gun owners had permits.

Getting a permit sends a message like voting. Its your civic duty!

VA has about around 325K Permits issued http://crimeresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Concealed-Carry-Permit-Holders-Across-the-United-States.pdf.  Not even 5% of the population.
