I am writing to encourage you to adopt or affirm the two bills that Senator Ebbin is sponsoring (SB643 and SB310) and reject the rest of these bills. I have a Masters in Public Health and have a strong interest in curbing gun violence, which in our country is a major public health problem.

Please VOTE ON on SB328 and SB 675. SB 328 would allow law enforcement to acquire military hardware which would increase the number of dangerous weapons on the streets of Virginia. SB 675 would exempt retired police officers from back grounds checks when buying their service weapons. NO ONE SHOULD BE EXEMPT FROM A BACKGROUND CHECK, especially police officers who may have been charged with domestic violence. We need our legislators to protect Virginia citizens from gun violence, not make it easier for anyone to acquire more weapons. Thank you. ~Linda Falkerson

SB353 - Emergency Shelters Upgrade Assistance Grant Fund; funds to be paid to certain entities.
Last Name: Neil Organization: City of Portsmouth Locality: Hampton

The City of Portsmouth strongly supports this bill. This matching grant fund has proven very helpful to us is upgrading the HVAC system in one of our older public schools which is used as an emergency shelter. This grant fund has been well received statewide. Out of the first round of funding in 2021, 3 other cities and 14 counties were provided aid in upgrading their emergency shelters. The bill merely requests a slight language change that would provide the opportunity for local governments that operate but do not own their emergency shelters the opportunity to compete for funding. As the bill currently stands, only local governments that own and operate their emergency shelters can seek funding assistance from this Fund. Please support... thank you
