Virginia Democrats Drop AR-15 Confiscation Bill

Virginia Democrats just learned what happens when you try to mess with our Second Amendment Rights! THOUSANDS show up to the capital in Richmond to show just how loud our silent majority can get. The scene from hallways while people wait to protect their 2A rights makes my gun-loving heart so happy!

Governor of Virginia had to have known that we would show up. He is has been touting for weeks the “urgent” need for “common-sense” gun control. *rolls eyes*

Gun violence takes the lives of more than 1,000 Virginians every year—three people every day. Virginians have had enough of the vigils and the funerals, enough of the mourning. They made that clear at the ballot box. #EnoughIsEnough #SOTC

Guess what Gov. Northam the loud minority in your state may have put you into office, but I guarantee you the silent majority will kick you out next term.

Thanks to people like Andrew Whiting, who came out in opposition to the AR-15 gun band. He spoke emotionally about his disabled wife and her need to be able to protect herself. She has a small number of firearms to defend herself, and the AR-15 is one of them. He is advocating for his wife, and it is beautiful.

“What is going on right now is an assault on law-abiding gun owners.” He continues to say,” I employ one of you to fight tooth and nail claw talk to everybody you can, gun owners and non-gun owners alike because it’s going to take everybody that cares about our rights to fight for our rights. Because without them, we have nothing.”

NRA member Andrew Whiting came out to Richmond to stand and fight. This issue is personal for him because his wife is disabled, and her firearm of choice is an AR-15.

We must continue to fight for everyone’s right to own a firearm. Whether they sit in your safe, are used for hunting, or are used to protect your life, we must keep our 2A strong. Some people say, well, an AR-15 is excessive, you should see what your government uses! Our second Amendment is one of the few safeguards we have that keep our country from becoming Iran, Syria, or Venezuela. Bernie Sanders and his supporters may want that for this country. Still, luckily for America, we have intelligent citizens like the thousands that showed up in Virginia to protect the ones too stupid to realize their mistake.
