It's not just the 2A they're after

[GeneFrenkle]

There's a ton of new laws that are prefiled that can have just a big, if not worse, impact than those attacking our 2A rights. I scanned through http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+lst+ALL and here's what immediately jumped out at me. I'm sure I've missed a few and they're adding new ones all the time...

Notice how much there is about voting, and in particular voting id, absentee voting, and bypassing the intent of the electoral college. If they end up changing how the voting operates, it can be used to, well... I'm sure you can guess. If they consistently get and increase the votes, it's just a matter of time for everything else to be eliminated, to include hunks of our Constitution, as we are disenfranchised more and more. If you have some time, email, call, talk with others about what's going on not just on the 2A front as well as your representative and bill sponsors to voice your opinions. Even if you don't think they'll listen (and many probably won't), with enough people they'll have no choice but to actually acknowledge something. In fact, one delegate's district phone ended up being disconnected and I'm sure it was "unintentional" (https://www.facebook.com/delgdavis and look at the 24 Dec post). Statists are really pushing hard to, as Northam said, to fundamentally change Virginia.

10+ more anti-2A bills were added...

[GeneFrenkle]

Tough to keep up with all the bills they're adding. They now have bills about Indoor ranges, outdoor ranges/shooting on personal property, ammunition (reading that as restrictions on wolf, barnaul, etc), 10% tax on ammo, a "voluntary" do-not-sell list (people "voluntarily" add themselves to a list which restricts their 2A rights), localities can make their own restrictions on firearms - eliminates preemption, eliminate firearm manufacturer protections from lawsuits, reciprocity controlled by the AG, etc.

This is unbelievable. Even if this stuff doesn't pass, the voting stuff will eventually ensure it gets adopted at some point.

[allingeneral]

It really is unbelievable. There are so many horrible bills. They are literally flooding the legislature with stupidity.

They are coming after US.....We better be ready !

[SHMIV]

I guess they figure that if they throw enough chit, something is bound to stick.

I guess they figure that if they throw enough chit, something is bound to stick.

I've been thinking that for over a month.
I think their plan is to propose so many outrageous bills that we will let a few of the less objectionable bills slip through.

Basically causing us to waste all our energy on the obviously unconstitutional bills that they don't expect to pass anyway.

[kelu]

I am pretty sure some of them will pass. They know the people are too weak to do anything. All bark, no bite.

I don't think they're gonna get the reception, or reaction they expect to get...

[ Post made via Mobile Device ]

The legislature is already flooded with stupidity.

[Mindflayer]

It's all cleverness foisted on us by out-of-staters - and in many case, foreign national interests. This is to move the USA to a centrally controlled system.

The courts are going to be busy soon. I just hope they stand for the Constitution.

We really are the test case for the rest of the country. It's no coincidence that many similar laws are being pushed by Dems in other states.

I believe some of these laws, have so much room for disaster, SCOTUS will have to look at them. The Red Flag law alone, appears to violate the 1st, 2nd, & 4th amendments. The law about criticizing politicians seems such an easy slam dunk violating the 1st.

I hope the courts side with the people, & set a record for most legislation overturned from one session.

Its going to take years to clean up their mess. Years.
