VA Dems Drop AR-15 Confiscation After 1000s of NRA Members Show |
2020-01-15 |
[BREITBART] Virginia Democrats withdrew an AR-15 confiscation bill Monday after thousands of NRA members showed up to oppose new gun controls. The NRA asked members to flood the January 13, 2020, Virginia Senate meetings and ensure pro-Second Amendment voices drowned out those calling for gun control. Video from hallways outside the meetings showed NRA members responded en masse: The Washington Free Beacon reports the presence of thousands of NRA members “appeared to have an impact.” Democrats withdrew a bill aimed at AR-15 confiscation and moderated other gun control proposals. But NRA-ILA Virginia state director Daniel Spiker made clear the changes, though good, were not enough. He said, “While there were some improvements to some of these bills, overall, it’s still bad legislation. Putting in more regulations and making it more onerous on the law-abiding citizens of Virginia is not something we stand for.” |

#4 So what. They are playing us. They step up with this gun confiscation crap, NRA goes nuts, while we are claiming victory, they will pass a very small but incremental step toward the same end. All they have done is show us their end state. |
