Tonight Charlottesville City Council is going to hear a gun-control resolution that was added at the last minute to the agenda!
"5. RESOLUTION* Calling for Statewide and National Gun Control Legislation and Local Control Over Gun Regulations (1st of 1 reading) – 20 mins”
So they not only want federal and state gun control added to the books, but they also want to get rid of preemption so they can be as tyrannical as they wish!
If you can turnout tonight to speak against the resolution, please do so.
ACTION ITEM NO. 1 - EMAIL
We need to flood City Council with emails opposing the resolution:

Suggested message:
Charlottesville City Council Members:
I urge you to OPPOSE the resolution calling for "Statewide and National Gun Control Legislation and Local Control Over Gun Regulations” on the agenda for tonight.
Gun control does NOT make America safer. The massacre in Orlando was in a “gun-free zone.” Without anyone inside the club able to shoot back at the terrorist, he had THREE HOURS to do as he pleased, and a lot of defenseless people were slaughtered accordingly.
The gun-control capitols of the U.S., Chicago and Washington DC, are also the most dangerous. Both cities have universal background checks and gun registration, the kind of things the resolution is calling for.
The good people of Charlottesville have a right to be able to protect themselves during a terror attack or other such emergency. Government should stand behind that right, not interfere with it. There is no doubt as to what side Thomas Jefferson would stand on.
