As one of your constituents and a supporter of Gun Owners of America, I urge you to OPPOSE the following unconstitutional anti-gun bills set to be heard on January 17th: - SB 848, Senator Salim, makes it illegal for anyone under 21 to purchase an “assault firearm.” - SB 880, Senator Ebbin, bans the carry of certain semi-automatic rifles, pistols, and shotguns. - SB 881, Senator Ebbin, makes unfinished firearm frames and receivers and un-serialized commercially made firearms unlawful to possess, purchase, sell, or transfer unless they are serialized. - SB 886, Senator Perry, redefines a “trigger activator” as a “conversion kit, tool, accessory, or device” that alters the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm to “mimic automatic weapon fire or used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than that possible for a person to fire such semi-automatic firearm unassisted…” - SB 891, Senator Salim, requires that a person must wait five days before a purchased or rented firearm can be transferred to them. - SB 1109, Senator Carroll Foy, requires a person to have a permit to purchase a firearm, which is good for 5 years. To qualify for a permit, the applicant must have had firearms training or show firearms competence within the last 2 years. Persons under 21-years-old cannot apply for a permit and are thus prohibited from buying firearms. - SB 1110, Senator Williams Graves, prohibits firearms in facilities that provide mental health services or developmental services, including hospitals, emergency departments, or emergency medical care facilities, if they offer such services. - SB 1134, Senator Boysco, limits the right to self-defense by requiring all firearms in a home, that are not being carried on or about a person, to be unloaded and placed in a locked container if there is a minor in the home or if there is a prohibited person in the home. A gun may only be stored loaded if it is in a biometric safe. - SB 1181, Senator Deeds, prohibits the sale, possession, transfer, and transport of a so-called “assault firearm” made on or after July 1, 2025. It also prohibits sale, possession, transfer, and transport of an “assault firearm” to anyone under the age of 21. Magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and were made on or after July 1, 2025, are prohibited. - SB 1182, Senator Deeds, restricts firearms at public institutions of higher education by requiring such firearms be part of an authorized program or activity inside a building. - SB 1220, Senator DeSteph, makes it illegal to carry pistol, revolver, or other weapon powered by compressed air, even with a concealed handgun permit. - SB 1329, Senator Marsden, requires that a person who does not have a concealed handgun permit and has a handgun in their motor vehicle, keep the handgun out in plain view. Additionally, I expect you to PROTECT my Second Amendment rights by SUPPORTING these pro-gun bills: - SB 837, Senator Sturtevant, lowers the age to get a concealed handgun permit from 21 to 18-years-old. - SB 849, Senator Diggs, sets 90 days as the maximum number of days that the Virginia State Police can take when processing a non-resident concealed handgun permit. - SB 1025, Senator Diggs, exempts highway rest areas from the state agency gun ban. Gun Owners of America will keep me, and their tens of thousands of other supporters in the state, informed of how you choose to vote.
