Virginia Anti-Gun Activist Unveils 2021 Gun Control Agenda

[s219]

Everything can be interpreted in multiple ways. What do TBN'ers from Va. think about the new gun laws?

>>>On April 10, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed five pieces of anti-gun legislation into law. Those measures criminalize the private sale of firearms, ration handgun sales to one a month, create a "red flag" gun confiscation scheme, punish property crime victims who fail to hastily report a firearm as stolen, and restrict how Virginia parents may store and introduce their children to firearms. Northam sent two pieces of anti-gun legislation back, including legislation that erodes the Right-to-Carry and the state firearms preemption statute, to the general assembly with governor's amendments. The General Assembly enacted both items of legislation on April 22.<<<<


I would never want these laws in Texas.

I think you chose your words to paint this in a particular way, but other folks have done a good job steering it back to reality. Aside from a couple aspects that are mere quibbles, I am fine with the laws. I support more rigorous background checks and I like the red flag law (which has layers of approvals, so it isn't something normal people should worry about). Some of these laws are simply putting us in parity with most other states and/or rolling the laws back to what they were 15-20 years ago.

I was concerned about the high-capacity magazine proposed law, but that didn't pass. Even some Democrats voted against that one.

I love my guns but there are a lot of dumb and irresponsible gun owners in my part of VA. The reckless things they do to endanger themselves and others boggles my mind. They think the 2nd amendment entitles them to abuse the very right it grants them. They will end up ruining it for the rest of us. Stupidity and entitlement are more powerful forces than most liberal anti-gun movements.

I have been saying that for years. We can work with them or watch our rights go away. The younger generations don't seem to care about hunting, shooting, or 2nd rights at all.

Then there will be more anti gun ownership laws, then a few more, then a few more, then you won’t be able to own a gun, like in Europe.
It’s going to happen and those in favor of these additional laws will propel that result to arrive even faster.

It's weird. I have some sane, rational, inteligent thinking friends that have never been exposed to firearms. They believe that a firearm is just waiting to be picked up by one human to kill another. They are so scared, that they even question if they would pick it up and hurt someone if they "got angry". I don't get it. I mean, they don't run to the kitchen for a knife, everytime they get angry.

I pointed out to one recently, that there are Scandinavian countries that required military service and an assault weapon in every home. Last I heard, they weren't killing people when they got angry. Curious if that is still the case. Maybe Norway?

What you say matters to me. You are in a nation that has stricter gun laws. I’m sure it all started somewhere. Then more and more nanny state restrictions keep getting added. Scope creep.
Ignore your rights and watch them GO AWAY!!

Try Germany and Switzerland.

+10 on that.

I am German and I never heard of anything like that for the firearm at home. If that's the case, my Uncle was holding out on me.

Maybe he was. Have a very good German friend who is an engineer at JD in Mannheim, Germany and when he comes here for training every year he always stops by and spends the night. He has told me that in Germany, it's mandatory that every able bodied man (I presume gal too) has to serve in the armed forces and learn to handle firearms and have sporting firearms in their homes. Not handguns, long guns. same with Switzerland. He likes to shoot my big bore Smiths on my private range too. Always puts a smile on his face. Long guns, not handguns.
