Democrats might wield power in the Old Dominion, but gun rights backers haven’t given up the fight.
As lawmakers met Monday to consider a slew of gun control bills, they were greeted by “thousands” of Second Amendment supporters determined to voice their opposition, The Washington Free Beacon reported.
Even in the face of that kind of popular discontent, four measures moved forward in the state’s Senate Judiciary Committee, thanks to a Democratic majority, though some were in slightly weakened form, The Free Beacon reported.
But one bill, known as SB 16, a controversial measure that would have “effectively” allowed authorities to confiscate weapons that violate it, was withdrawn entirely, The Free Beacon reported.
It was the potential of people power on full display.

They’ll do it behind closed doors with no warning. It’s what they do.
That’s an absolute guarantee if we were talking NYS!
Good job, Patriots!
This was a head fake. SB16 was pulled, but HB961, the one that is worse, is the one that the Governor said that he supports and wants passed.
The media is trying to lull people back to sleep.

Yep, that is the way of socialists/communists/democrats.
Isn’t Monday the big rally in Richmond? If so I will try to make it.
The left doesn’t wait. As soon as they get into power they force us to pay for abortion and (try to) take our guns. The American left, the democrat party, consists of fascists who will install a totalitarian dictatorship within days of getting into power.
SB 16 was pulled, but HR961 is still lurking with many of the same provisions.
Like Obamacare passed while the last reruns of Hollywood Squares were the most interesting things left on late, late TV that night.
Several Michigan laws were passed at 2 am. With State Police guarding the doors. Pension tax was one.

Here’s what the state House passed while you slept
By Cheyna Roth & Lauren Talley • Dec 13, 2018
The state Legislature passed several bills late last night and early this morning during its lame duck session.
Members of the Michigan House were busy quickly passing bills in its lame-duck session until 3:30 am Thursday morning. Here’s a round up of what they passed.
AND I BETCHA THE 2A PATRIOTS ARE All TRUMP VOTERS.....LOL.
Yes, Monday January 20 is Lobby Day and VCDL is asking for as many people to show up as possible.
I was planning to go, but I got added to the schedule to work anticipating big gun sales.
Love it.
A little small but effective.
Now he should make the big, full size banner and attach it to the Goodyear blimp.
Something is very wrong in Va. If it takes a massive crowd marching on the state house to give motivation to leaders to pass or not pass legislation, the government needs replacement. Being able to read public opinion is part of being a legislator. Va. officials missed the boat. What a bunch of clowns.
Yay for our team...
Yeah, it's called D.C. Liberals moving into the D.C. suburbs of Alexandria and Fairfax that is tipping the state Blue.
Clowneys. If you get my drift.
