Positive Pro Gun Steps This Week in Virginia Legislature – Anti’s Bills Killed

Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- This week was excellent for Virginia gun owners! That Said, If We Don’t Vote In Good People In September, This Could All Change Next Year.

The anti’s behaved themselves. Of course it helped that a Capitol police officer was in the room the whole time to serve as a reminder to keep things civil. Chairman Farris made it clear in his initial remarks that incivility would NOT be tolerated.

Even Richmond Mayor Stoney, with interim police chief in tow, was there to push gun control.

BIG THANKS TO THE REPUBLICANS, WHO ALL VOTED CORRECTLY: Matt Fariss, Mike Webert, Nick Frietas, and Jeffrey Campbell.

NOTE: Keep Democrat John Bell in your prayers. He had to leave the subcommittee early tonight because of a tragedy within his family. No further information at this time.
