Virginia Democrats Already Pushing Sweeping Gun Control After Being in Office for Barely a Month
It begins. Democrats in Virginia have been in power for barely a month and they are already pushing sweeping new gun control laws.
To make matters worse, they are doing this at a time when the country has seen four terrorist attacks on the homeland in the span of just two weeks. God forbid the American people are able to defend themselves from all of the potential terrorists that Democrats imported into the country on Joe Biden’s watch.
This is all about control.

Virginia Dems send sweeping gun ban to Spanberger as West Virginia weighs expanding machine-gun access
Virginia Democrats have sent a sweeping gun-control package to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk, while West Virginia lawmakers are debating the opposite approach — a proposal that would allow residents to lawfully obtain machine guns.
The dueling efforts highlight how sharply gun policy is diverging across the old Virginia border. More than 160 years after West Virginia split from Virginia during the Civil War, the two states are again charting very different political paths — with Democrats in Richmond advancing new firearm restrictions while Republicans in Charleston explore expanding Second Amendment rights.
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signaled she looks forward to “reviewing” the sweeping firearms ban from state Sen. Saddam Salim, D-Dunn Loring, when it reaches her desk next week.
“As the mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools and a former federal law enforcement officer who carried a gun every day, Governor Spanberger knows how important it is to make sure kids and families are safe,” Spanberger’s office said in a statement to Richmond’s ABC affiliate.
“The governor is grateful for the efforts of legislators and advocates to address gun violence in Virginia communities, and she looks forward to reviewing all legislation that comes to her desk.”
Some pro-gun activists in the state have responded by handing out free AR-15 magazines.

Spanberger and other members of her party ran as centrists on the issue of affordability. The minute they took power they revealed themselves to be the leftists that they actually are.
It will be fascinating to see how long it takes for the people of Virginia to realize they were duped by these frauds.
