The newly elected state representatives and senate are in a rush to pass all sorts of crazy gun control schemes: red flag gun laws, universal background checks, one handgun a month, 10 round magazine limit and even semi-auto gun bans have all been pre-filed for the 2020 session. It isn't about crime, Virginia has the fourth lowest violent crime rate! Ultimately, gun control is about control of law abiding citizens. Criminals, by definition, do not obey the law. Gun owners - we need to get more active politically than ever to stop the loss of our freedoms. Please join Virginia Citizens Defense League's Virginia Alert mailing list so you can be alerted of action items (you can do that for free!). After that, send a generous donation to VCDL, Gun Owners of America and the National Rifle Association.

 Last week, I had the privilege of joining several hundred other patriots at a gun rights rally at the Virginia State Capitol building. The rally featured some excellent speakers including:
The speakers reiterated the uselessness of the governor's proposed gun control schemes including red flag laws and universal background checks. Gun control will not increase our safety. Here's actions we can must take to keep our rights:
#2A #rkba #vcdl #goa #gunowners #nra #gunrights #votefreedom   2020 Presidential Candidates are "in a race to the bottom" to see who can promise the biggest attacks on our 2nd Amendment freedoms. For example, Kamala Harris has said she will make Executive Orders to enact gun control within 100 days of taking office. Hollywood actors and actresses are also calling for gun control while protected day and night by armed security. At the recent Academy Awards, the police protection was on par with when the President visits! This hypocrisy should come as no surprise to us. Hollywood celebrities and politicians are not at all in-touch with the day to day lives of normal Americans.  I was saddened last month to read about the 12 people killed in a mass shooting at a California bar. 
I heard an amazing quote from Thomas Jefferson during the third episode of the Gun Owners of America "Firing Back" podcast. This new podcast has been very informative in discussing the history of gun control around the world and some of the basic myths including - background checks, gun registration, "No Fly, No Buy," and others. His quote is :"I prefer dangerous freedom to safe slavery." This is very inspiring to me and a great reminder of why the founding fathers gave us the right to keep and bear arms - to ensure our freedom. Gun control isn't about guns, it is about CONTROL. Any gun control law is an imposition on our freedom and means law abiding citizens will suffer. I've subscribed to this podcast and recommend that you do too. Also, consider joining the GOA to help ensure our freedoms are protected and expanded.  "I prefer dangerous freedom to safe slavery."
