📣 2A Rights Under Attack in Virginia! 🇺🇸🔥

Right now in Richmond, our Second Amendment rights are facing some of the most aggressive legislative assaults we’ve seen in years. Lawmakers are moving forward with multiple bills that would restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners across the Commonwealth. 

Proposed changes include:
• Banning “assault fi****ms” — including common semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns — and limiting magazine capacity. 
• Stricter storage requirements and new permit requirements to purchase fi****ms. 
• Restrictions on carrying fi****ms in more public places. 
• Higher taxes on suppressors and other accessories. 

Supporters claim these measures are about safety, but they will only criminalize everyday, law-abiding citizens and infringe on our constitutional rights. 

The Virginia General Assembly is deeply divided — votes are mostly along party lines — and this legislative session is shaping up to be a major battle for our freedoms. 

📞 Take Action: Now is the time to contact your state delegate and senator and make your voice heard!
