Richmond, VA—You don’t have to care about politics but politics care about you. Virginians are getting a crash course in civics since the state went Democrat in November. While the threat of radical gun laws loomed thanks to Bloomberg’s bought-and-paid for candidates, nobody really expected the Democrats to double down like they have.
Let’s spell it out for non-Virginians.
Between November 18- 21, 2019, just days after winning the majority, several anti-gun bills were pre-filed in Virginia. These would criminalize ownership of AR-15s, outlaw ‘militia’ activity with the term now broadly defined, ban ‘high-capacity’ magazines and more.
We’re Americans and We Won’t Be Ruled
Virginia voters—not just gun owners, but anybody who cared about the rule of law and checks and balances—were rightfully outraged. More than 90% of the state voted themselves a Second Amendment Sanctuary. News articles and Facebook forums were openly talking about voting out every single Democrat in the state in the next election.
The Democrats shot back: they filed bills that repeal voter ID, would allow felons the vote, and more. A LOT more. Senate Bill 399 would give Virginia’s electoral college votes to the winner of the national popular vote. SJ 29 would change election law so that the governor would be elected by majority of votes in congressional districts, not by statewide majority. Basically, what D.C. says goes and the rest of you be damned. SJ 14 would restore voting rights to convicted felons. SJ 8 would allow felons and those declared mentally incompetent to vote. SB 65 – Eliminates photo ID requirement for voting. SJ 6 -Increases the term limit of the governor from 4 to 8 years.
