Why this Stupidity should matter to you.

The biggest issue in my opinion is the Supreme Court has been tip toeing around the main issue of what the 2A protects and doesn’t. They define arms as common use, the AR15 is the #1 most commonly used and owned firearm yet these states still pass laws that go directly against this ruling with no repercussions. The state gets sued, that gets fought in the courts for years, then it gets overturned but in those years we lose our rights. It’s a rinse and repeat game in blue states. Look at CA. I just don’t know how you even fight against it. These politicians are protected and allowed to dictate the citizens in said states. You can’t sue them directly for these bills so how do you stop it?

If you dive further in these states and who is getting these laws even on the table to get voted on they all stem back to NGOs that are sponsored heavily by billionaires. What can be done against those?

It's VA don't know why you folks act so suprised...they have always been anti-gun. They canceled CWP reciprocity agreements I while back, then they reinstated it after a couple year battle..removing my pistol from the holster an placing in on the dash while driving thru VA was just weird, but legal.
I pass thru VA every couple weeks
Got it down to 60mins, I don't speed, I don't stop, and I dont spend time/money there, just try keep moving and try not to get any of it on me.

Then next door in WV you have SB 1071 kicking around...Its to establish Office of Public Defense to sell FA machine guns to qualified state residents...#Merica!

They just canceled the CWP along with the rest of these gun laws in last two months. Virginia has always been an open carry state which means I could walk into Walmart with an AR-15 on my back as long as Walmart didn’t have a sign up stating otherwise. Virginia has always had great gun laws, until the progressive lefties came into office. Governor Northam did this same and people actually showed up to protest 6 years ago. Virginia wasn’t and different than WV until this year.

BS. This thread is about gun control, specifically in VA, where it is being passed almost 100% on party lines. It's not much different at the federal level. You can't give me a similar example of republicans cramming civil liberty violations down the throats of law-abiding citizens when they were in control of our state, because there isn't one. So don't give me that nonsense,.

The Patriot Act

"Virginia's two U.S. Senators in 2001—George Allen (R) and John Warner (R)—both voted Yea (in favor) on final passage in the Senate."

The Patriot Act

"Virginia's two U.S. Senators in 2001—George Allen (R) and John Warner (R)—both voted Yea (in favor) on final passage in the Senate."

Not a good example:
The USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 passed the Senate with a near-unanimous vote of 98-1 on October 25, 2001
. The legislation received overwhelmingly bipartisan support just weeks after the 9/11 attacks, with both Republican and Democratic leadership supporting the bill. Only one senator, Russ Feingold (D-WI), voted against
