Tomorrow, January 18, at 4:00 p.m., in House North subcommittee room 200, the House Public Safety Subcommittee: Firearms is scheduled to hear a full slate of anti-gun bills, House Bill 2 will have a major impact on Virginia’s sportsmen. Every hunter and gun owner needs to email the members of the subcommittee to ensure they know exactly where you stand – opposing HB 2 and protecting the Old Dominion’s outdoor and firearm heritage.
Anti-gun legislators repeatedly introduce legislation based on emotion and the appearance of “doing something,” and this year is no different. HB 2 only restricts firearms and their use among the law-abiding, whether for protection, or shooting. Anti-gun advocates have made it clear their real motivation behind legislation of this type: Restrict freedom without benefiting public safety.
HB 2 bans the import, sell, transfer, manufacture, and purchase of “assault firearms,” and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. This bill is nothing more than an anti-gun grab-bag, with modern hunting rifles and accessories pulled into the ban, once again, with no material benefit to public safety.
