Virginia: House Committee Rubber Stamps Bloomberg Agenda

Virginia: House Committee Rubber Stamps Bloomberg Agenda

On the morning of January 24th, the Virginia House Public Safety Committee quickly passed all of the gun control bills on its docket for that day. These items from Michael Bloomberg’s wishlist will now go to the House floor. Please call your Delegate and ask them to OPPOSE the gun control bills heading their way. You may click here to look up your Delegate and find their Capitol phone number. If you already know who your Delegate is, click here.

You may also click this button to email your Delegate directly.

House Bill 2 criminalizes private transfers of firearms without first paying fees, with limited exceptions. Most transfers between friends, neighbors, or fellow hunters are not exempted. These proposals would have no impact on crime and are completely unenforceable.

House Bill 9 victimizes gun owners who suffer loss or theft of their property with a fine if they don’t report a lost or stolen firearm within 24 hours of discovering them missing.

House Bill 421 allows local governments to enact their own gun control ordinances, potentially resulting in a patchwork of laws and the Second Amendment not being protected across the state.

House Bill 1083 severely restricts parental decisions about firearms in the home while attaching excessive penalties for violations.

House Bill 674 allows the seizure of an individual’s firearms on baseless accusations without a hearing or other opportunity for the person to be heard in court. It permits the government to seize firearms based on weak evidence and nebulous standards of evidence.

A person subject to a suspension of a Constitutional right should be entitled to high evidentiary standards, an opportunity to be heard, and the right to face his or her accusers. Civil liberties advocates from across the political spectrum have expressed concerns on these “red flag” bills and how the procedure might lead to abuses of the process because of insufficient due process protections in the bills.

House Bill 812 arbitrarily rations an individual’s right to lawfully purchase a handgun to once within 30 days.

Again, please call and email your Delegate and ask them to OPPOSE these gun control bills.
