I'm a mom, gun owner and volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and I support this bill to provide tools to keep our community and loved ones safe.

I oppose all of these blatantly unconstitutional bills and wish our elected officials would actually get to work on fixing things that matter to Virginians.

Time and time again it has been proven that criminals do not care about or follow restrictive firearm laws. Virginia already has some of the most restrictive firearms laws in the country ("B+" rating from Giffords), more unconstitutional infringements upon law abiding citizens is not the answer. We need to address the root causes (access to mental health resources for example) and not throw bandaids at it by punishing responsible, law abiding, gun owners. I oppose these bills and urge you to do the same.

I am writing to voice my opposition to the multiple house and senate bills that do nothing to penalize violent criminals and arbitrarily turn law abiding gun owning citizens into criminals or strip these citizens of their rights and valuable property without due process. I am also opposed to further limitations being placed on citizens who have fulfilled the requirements to obtain a VA Concealed Handgun Permit. Again, the very people who have invested time and money in their committment to adhere to the law are being penalized.

Gun laws do not prevent firearm homicides, based upon gun control organization's own data (Giffords) •No correlation between strict gun laws and firearm homicide incidents •.07 coefficient of determination (AKA R2) where .90 is a strong association •There likely would be a weak association showing gun laws driving the firearm homicide rate higher if Washington, DC was given a score and ranked by Giffords.

Individuals that have committed acts of violence or have used threatening language against family members, neighbors, coworkers, or toward schools or students or government buildings or employees don't need to be in possession of firearms. No right provided in the Constitution is unlimited; owning a gun is a privilege and those that have been proven to be a danger to others should not be in possession of such dangerous weapons.

I support this bill and think it is important to clarify the risk factors to consider and I support that this bill includes relinquishing access to firearms.

ERPOs are an important tool for gun violence prevention. Clarifying how they can be used is essential. I support this bill.
