It never stops


Dudley Brown
Executive Vice President

National Association for Gun Rights

With the introduction of anti-gun legislation last week, Governor Bob McDonnell's office is working hard to infringe on our Second Amendment rights.

SB 1377 turns you into a criminal for defending yourself at a college or university. Under this bill, any law-abiding adult who defends herself on campus would likely face a class 3 felony charge, EVEN in a clear-cut self-defense case.

SB 1378 increases the potential criminal penalties for buying and transferring guns; meaning that law-abiding Virginians could be slapped under a microscope, locked up for 10 years and fined up to $100,000, for virtually any non-government sanctioned firearms sale.

Thanks to your calls and emails, SB 1377 has been stopped in committee, for now. However, SB 1378 has passed the House of Delegates and is now headed for the Governor's desk.

Since some of his proposed legislation has been killed by activists like you, it looks like he's planning a new strategy to force his anti-gun agenda through.

Governor McDonnell thinks the best way to push his gun control is to add additional anti-gun language to Senate Bill 1378 and then ram it through the General Assembly.

In the Virginia system, the Governor has the power to propose nearly anything as an amendment to a bill before he signs it, and it's likely McDonnell will put SB 1377, or ANY OTHER pet gun control scheme, into SB 1378.

That's why it's vital that we demand Governor McDonnell put an end to his anti-gun spree RIGHT NOW. 

Contact the Governor's office at (804) 786-2211 and tell him that SB 1378 is bad enough already. Instead of trying to push even more anti-gun restrictions, he should VETO the whole thing.

The threat to our Second Amendment rights has never been higher. So please take action right away!
