Comments
And the assault on the second amendment continues...perhaps the members should take a look at the constitution. Whereas Virginia was once the vanguard for the rights of a fledgling nation, it too has been corrupted by the scourge of Liberalism. Defeat this bill, it does nothing to increase the safety security of your constituents.
