Virginia members - Governor Northam pushing gun control NOW

[LittleLebowski]

Please join the VCDL (https://www.vcdl.org/Join-VCDL) ASAP. The VCDL is an extremely effective state level gun rights organization.

Four days after a gunman opened fire and killed 12 people at a Virginia Beach government building, Gov. Ralph Northam on Tuesday called for a special General Assembly session on gun laws.

Northam told the Associated Press on Tuesday that he wants the Republican-controlled General Assembly to hear from the public about the need for “common-sense” laws related to guns and accessories.
He plans to convene a special legislative session later this summer.

The AP says Northam wants lawmakers to vote on items such as mandating universal background checks before gun purchases, limiting purchases to one handgun per month and a so-called red flag bill that would allow authorities to temporarily seize someone’s guns if they are a shown to be threat to themselves or others

It is galling that he is still in office after the blackface and infanticide scandals. Nevertheless, it appears he needs to be reminded he is the servant, not the master.

[RyanM]

Good reminder that I need to renew my membership!

[LittleLebowski]

Wants to ban assault weapons and suppressors. He also wants to (double) ban bumpstocks.

[BillSWPA]

My understanding is that the guns were purchased legally years ago, and if there were any warning signs, no one has figured it out yet. So none of what is being proposed would have prevented what happened in VA Beach.

None of that matters to the gun grabbers.

Also, if you are in the 24th district of Virginia there is a primary election next week where Emmet Hanger, a guy who has screwed us over on gun legislation time and time again, is facing a primary challenge from Tina Frietas, wife of Nick Frietas. Solid on the 2nd amendment and has the VCDL endorsement.

We need to find a way to up membership in the VCDL. I wonder how much it would hurt business for ranges and gun shows to require patrons have a membership? I know that’s a bit heavy handed. We definitely need to get the word out that the VCDL, not the NRA, is the only organization that has a chance of protecting our rights at the state level here in Virginia.

[BillSWPA]

Of course not. I am hoping it does matter to people who are not solidly in either camp, but simply want to see their loved ones go to school and work with some likelihood of returning safely at the end of the day. They are the ones who can potentially be persuaded that more gun control fails to achieve that goal.

[LittleLebowski]

Just so we are clear, Governor Northam wants to ban legally owned and purchased suppressors. Illegal ones are still...illegal.

Edit: a hoax picture of a homemade suppressor found in CA is circulating the net and being purported to be the one used in VA Beach.

[ssb]

Looks like one of those "solvent traps" you see for sale...

[Crow Hunter]

Is that a Hi-Point with single stack magazines and a single after market extension?

So the narrative of high capacity handgun with a suppressor that we need to ban (think Glock 21 with a high end .45 suppressor and multiple magazines) to a Cleetus "ghetto blaster" with a single stack bubba extended magazine and a garage made suppressor.

Interesting.

That picture is a hoax and LL has since edited his post.

What good is the constitution if you have to pay 3rd parties or else loose your constitutional rights? northam is a twat.

Apathy and "I'll sign up later" won't cut it anymore. I sure as hell don't want to see Virginia transform into Maryland V 2.0....

Please, be gentle.

Uhh, not ridicule here, I am tempted to start "properly provisioning for the future" buying myself.

Why would you not with our PF discount with Hansohn Brothers?!


Grab yourself a YHM can or two. They’re excellent cans at a great price.

I *need* a 7.62 can (that can pull double duty on my AR), but my concern with Northam's mutterings is that if these are made illegal, what becomes of our investment?

Depending on what my bonus looks like, I might set aside some cash for a rifle can (the one you bought looks compelling), but I'm concerned about the future...

I’d get the bigger Vox S (https://hansohnbrothers.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_69&product_id=601) if that’s your only/first can.

I’m not too worried about my cans in VA. I don’t think they can confiscate, ever. Plus, I think that we can win this in asssembly.

Man, I’m in WA state: a fair amount of my discretionary money of late has been spent on "reasonable and prudent fear" buying...

(As opposed to that "bare fear" ammo run shit from the Obama years that gave us entire aisles of empty at Cabelas; those guys were just a buncha neckbeard hoarders, natch.)

[Paul Blackburn]

Every time there's an event similar to VB the anti gunners call for more control. Seems like we are only as free as the elites allow us to be regardless of the constitution.
Some nut job mows down a bunch of people with a bump stock, ban bump stocks. Shoot a few people with a suppressor, ban suppressors. Of coarse suppressors can add up to a lot of more money than a bump stock if they are to be turned in or destroyed with no compensation like the bump stock. But if that's what the gov says...I don't recall anybody having a say about bump stocks. Just complaints that made no difference.

The truth is none of the proposed gun control has ever been or ever will be practical because gun controls has never been about and never will be about a practical solution. Its only about control and the eventual ban of all guns like in countries the left throws out as examples. They know as well as you do more gun control won't make any difference except to keep chipping away at the 2A.

It would be my first/only centerfire rifle can. I already have a rimfire can.

The Vox- looks good too.

We still don't have details about the exact proposals that the Governor will send to the General Assembly, but between his statements and the standard lack of anti-gun ingenuity, we'll likely see many of the same bans and restrictions as are proposed in the GA every year. At this point, it's probably still too early to ramp up pressure on delegates and senators. As soon as we have more details beyond the date of the special session (July 9), I'll post a link here that allows VA members to easily contact their delegate and senator.

While the most important thing to do is to actually make contact with you delegate and senator, if you personalize your response, it may be more effective.

Done and personalized.

Just a reminder of the special session next week. Here is the email we sent with details for anyone planning on attending:

Virginia: Defend Freedom, Oppose Gov. Northam in Richmond

Governor Ralph Northam and his gun ban allies are ready to push their extreme anti-gun agenda when the General Assembly convenes its special session on July 9th. Your NRA is calling on members and Second Amendment supporters to join in the fight against Gov. Northam’s misguided gun control proposals by coming to Richmond on July 9th to personally urge their elected officials to stand up for our rights by opposing the Northam gun ban agenda.

You are invited to stop by the House Conference Room to pick up your FREE NRA gear as well as meet with fellow members and Second Amendment supporters. Additionally, NRA staff will be present to provide updates and to assist everyone in finding their lawmakers.

July 9th 10:00 A.M.- 12:00 P.M.
House Conference Room, 6th Floor of the Pocahontas Building
900 E. Main St.
Richmond, VA 23219

Also, if you want any more info on any of the policies being pushed by Northam, we set up an informational microsite with facts about each policy: https://www.nraila.org/campaigns/2019/virginia/northams-virginia-special-session-on-gun-control/

Good to see you posting here, brother. Thanks for all your hard work, and I hope your work isn’t too hard right now.

Well, she's at least not wrong that it's hard to have a real policy debate when we still don't have the legislation. It's hard to argue that you're on the side of reason/logic/the people when you wait until only days before (maybe the day of) a vote to unveil the legislation to be voted on.

[Paul Blackburn]

What good is the Constitution if this prick governor can call for these bans a get them?

[CG12]

Virginians will be happy to know that this special legislative session was shut down in record time before anything could be discussed. See this article by delegate Ken Plum- in which he claims that "gun violence that takes the lives of more than 1,000 citizens of our state each year". What a statement. The VA State Police report less than 400 homicides statewide last year by any means at all.
