Virginia: Legislature Acts on Gun Bills; Ball Back in Spanberger's Court
Dear [Lawmaker],
As a Virginian and your constituent, I urge you to VETO SB749/HB217 and SB173/HB229. SB749/HB217 ban certain semi-automatic firearms, including many semi-automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, prohibits the sale of magazine exceeding 15 rounds, and prohibits possession by legal adults under the age of 21. This bill is an attempt to redefine and ban firearms that are in common use by law-abiding citizens, and prohibit the future sale and transfer of virtually all modern firearms. SB173/HB229 prohibits the possession of any weapons in a hospital that provides mental health services or developmental services, and provides that any weapons seized in violation are forfeited to the Commonwealth. These bills do nothing to address crime in the Commonwealth, and exclusively target law-abiding gun owners. With your proposed amendments rejected by the General Assembly, I again urge you to VETO these bills. Thank you.
Sincerely,
______
