Please vote yes. The only reason for law enforcement to wear masks is if they plan on breaking the law. Officials who treat people with respect, ensure due process, and act within ALL laws proudly show their faces and gladly give out their business cards. Masks=you have something to hide. Vote yes.

I am writing to oppose the current slate of firearm restriction bills before the General Assembly. While these proposals are framed as public safety measures, in practice they disproportionately harm marginalized Virginians — including racial minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals (especially trans people), immigrants, and low-income residents — who often face higher risks of targeted violence and slower or unequal police response. These bills add costs, delays, and bureaucratic hurdles to exercising a fundamental right. Increased fees, mandatory waiting periods, feature bans, and expanded disqualifications fall hardest on people with limited financial resources, unstable work schedules, or justified concerns about their personal safety. For many vulnerable individuals, the ability to lawfully and promptly acquire a firearm is not about ideology, but about self-defense. History shows that restrictive gun laws are most aggressively enforced in minority communities, amplifying disparities in arrests, prosecution, and legal exposure — even when no harm has occurred. Expanding civil liability, criminal penalties, and subjective risk standards increases that risk. Public safety should not come at the expense of civil rights or equal access to self-protection. Policies that price people out of their rights or delay lawful self-defense do not address the root causes of violence and instead leave the most vulnerable less safe. I respectfully urge you to oppose these bills and support approaches that protect both public safety and the rights of all Virginians, regardless of income, identity, or background. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The only reason why some officers wear masks is because unnecessary harassment, threats, intimidation, and even violence from specific groups of people creating chaos in society. The Left leaders continue to incite riots , rebellions, and violence against these officers. I bet if the Left followed the laws we wouldn’t not have to deal with this issue. Hypocritical behavior by the Democrats and the socialists when they are the ones who forces people to be masked, vaccinated, and lockdowns on Americans.

Such bills if passed would provide little benefit to the safety of Virginia citizens. Gun violence is not a major concern in Virginia, and criminals will neither abide nor be limited by such legislation. Instead, many responsible citizens would lose their rights. There is no reason to pass such measures. In addition, many of these bills are not written to an excellent level of clarity and will spur much confusion on what remains legal or illegal.

The General Anti-Mask Law (Code § 18.2-422) KEEP this in mind. Walk down the street; view cars driving; go into grocery stores, banks, thrift stores, shopping malls; i.e. any public places and you WILL visually see that there are citizens and non citizens wearing face masks, coverings etc. 50% of these individuals are NOT sick with "INFECTION", Carrying a "BONFIDE PHYSICAL MEDICAL EXEMPTION" and COVID-19 IS EXPIRED! All these individuals should be procecuted with the law; Class 6 FELONY, Fines and/or imprisonment. Creating a bias for (1) group of people to make people DOX, STALK and HURT other AMERICAN Citizens is NOT how this state should proceed. There should be a portal and/or app that those who walk around the state of VA with a mask on should be reported to follow the currently law. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
