Citizens of all races bought there firearms in a legal manner.Now with a stroke of a pen possibly made illegal..Oppressing and infringement laws are a racist act..The legislators are infringing on rights of different ethnicities, color,culture.The majority of the authors who wrote the bills are white..Some have come from other countries where there rights were oppressed. Now in turn they are the oppressors of American citizens..Citizens are brothers and sisters..And you decide Are the legislators racist in writing these bills..? Sad to see..This will be in record for future generations to see..Let's hope they learn from history and not repeat it .

HB1459: SUPPORT HB1524: OPPOSE, both the VA and US constitutions protect the right to carry any legally owned firearms. Both the VA and US constitutions protect the right to own center-fire rifles, center-fire pistols, and shotguns that accept a magazine of greater than 10 rounds SB27: OPPOSE, this unconstitutionally, unfairly, and unjustly empowers anyone to hold the firearms industry responsible for actions of others outsides of the industry's control. SB38: OPPOSE, the language prohibiting persons under 21 is unconstitutional. The language prohibiting a cohabitant is also unconstitutional. SB86: SUPPORT SB173: OPPOSE, this violates Virginians' constitutional rights. Virginians have the right to carry a firearm for their personal protection anywhere that lacks sufficient security to assume responsibility for the safety of any disarmed persons and that lacks safe storage of firearms carried to and from such location. SB272: OPPOSE, this violates Virginians' constitutional rights. Virginians have the right to carry a firearm for their personal protection anywhere that lacks sufficient security that assumes responsibility for the safety of any disarmed persons and that lacks safe storage of firearms carried to and from such location. SB323: OPPOSE, Virginians should be free to build or customize personally owned firearms without serial numbers. SB337: OPPOSE, this language seems to attempt to legislate based only the current circumstances surrounding national guard deployments in the US. This could hinder an Adjutant General from acting responsibly and prudently under possible future circumstances currently unforeseen.

With respect to SB 86, I just want to say that I am in favor of allowing a retiring officer to purchase their issued weapon if they so choose.

Why are you discriminating against people of different races and ethnicity. ,? And for a person who is poor? Imposing the bills will make it expensive ,less affordable for someone to purchase a firearm for self defense..

Why discriminate against the constituency whom voted you into office? Vote against the bills..

Firearms were used to free slaves, And self defense..This mantra of self defense carries on ..A hundred years later..You would attempt to limit a constituents right to self defense.. Illegal discrimination ..Do the right thing Vote against the bills..

This critique is true. Will one of you legislators have the courtesy to step out of the groupthink and vote against the gun bills ..? The challenge is to have the guts to do it..Firearms are used for self defense..Freeing citizens from slavery. Sport shooting creates tax revenue and jobs.

The authors of the bills know they cannot ban guns outright..Create hardship bills so a constituent will not want to carry..Delegate, because you possibly do like firearms ..Is it your role ,to treat constituents in a discriminating way..? Against a class of citizens..? Liberals own gun too Not just conservatives..Vote against the bills.

The second amendment is a right not a privilege that can be taken away or will be taken away. Our right or sovereign under the constitution second amendment shall not be in French. Why don’t y’all work on making punishments more harsh for the criminals that rape people moles, children murder, and so on. Instead of trying to make hard-working, taxpaying citizens criminals

Good morning, As a lifelong Virginia resident I can’t believe what bills are even being considered. My name is Chandler Cobb and I currently reside in Isle of Wight County in Smithfield, VA. I’m a Christian, a disabled Veteran, a husband, and I am against any bills that take away our God-given, govt protected, Second Amendment rights. I’ve been a concealed weapons licensee for over 20 years and have never had to fire my weapon in defense of myself or another. That is the story with 99% of Virginian concealed weapons license holders. We also prevent harm without having to fire a single round. The recent Supreme Court precedent set in Bruen and Heller, makes every anti-second amendment bill written UNCONSTITUTIONAL and will eventually be overturned by SCOTUS. Please do not support any bills that take away our rights. These bills will do absolutely nothing nothing to make VA safer and will actually make us less safe. Legal gun owners in this country and this state follow the laws, but criminals don’t care what laws you write banning firearms as they don’t follow laws. These bills only hurt us law abiding concealed weapons license holders and gun owners in VA. Furthermore, there are millions of standard capacity magazines and AR15 sporting rifles and handguns that carry standard capacity magazines. You all are making instant criminals out of not only every Virginian, but anyone driving through our great state. I ask you all to vote NO on EVERY gun bill that infringes on our rights and that’s any bill adding regulations and restrictions on the firearms millions of us own. Thank you and God bless, Chandler Cobb Soli Deo Gloria~ Sic Semper Tyranis~

I stand with the VCDL's position on the firearms related bills. I oppose all Gun Control.
