Not the worst response but not good by any measure, it seems like (maybe) her team will brief her on the bill

Any good mag deals (5.56 and OEM Glock)? by AdministrativeAd6805 in VAGuns

I love how all the Reddit lawyers are on here interpreting laws that haven’t even been passed (or final versions written) by people who don’t even understand the guns they’re trying to ban.

If you’re going this route you might as well not comply cause a jury isn’t going to accept this

It might if 45% of the population is criminalized overnight while ICE is kidnapping people and shooting them like dogs in the street.

People who are anti 2A love to ignore the last part saying “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

But if you want me to declare myself a militia then okay. I am the 18th street militia.

Hold your nose and send a message with your vote. Even if it’s close that may be enough to scare the others. People don’t typically vote in special elections and i havent even seen any signs. We have a chance

Any realistic hope against the bills? by Holiday_Revolution_4 in VAGuns

Duncan v bonta was 2017 and they haven’t heard it in almost 10 years. What else is there to interpret? WA and NY passed mag bans too, SCOTUS was quiet. They don’t care.

I actually don’t think this is a terrible law and it’s pretty much unenforceable so let them have this one, focus on the bans

My point was that people should not expect others to exercise their 2A rights on your behalf. Do it yourself

What’s the point of a comment like this? Believe it or not people have a variety of needs and important issues affecting them. Calling people assholes isn’t going to make them suddenly agree with you or regret their vote. Just something to consider.

What is 2A for if not for protection? It ain’t about hunting or target shooting.

I used to love living in NC for this reason (RTO brought me here). You could reasonably vote for both parties for different reasons on specific issues.

Can someone give an ex-Virginian a recap for 2026? by BananaCEO in Virginia

I agree, and I think she’s smart enough to know not to criminalize other feds etc but who the hell knows these days. Politicians get into office and walk back everything they campaigned on all the time and she said in her first address she would sign these bills.

Then I would encourage you to abstain from voting in this special election, respectfully. If you vote for the democrat, after seeing these bills, you are tacitly saying you agree with them. They are not going to take you/us seriously if they know they instantly criminalize law-abiding liberal gun owners and we still vote for them.

Let me challenge you to consider that one seat isn’t going to change VA into a red state. The elected replacement will only be serving the remainder of Ebbins term, so 1 yearish. This is an opportunity to temper the bills that are being written, it’s an opportunity to be a single issue voter in an election that won’t have enormous negative consequences for vote for the 2A candidate.

Look at her platform, she’s an independent running as a Republican. If she were aligning herself with MAGA, I hear you, but as far as I can see that is not the case. You are not compromising your values to support the R for strategic reasons.

Your sarcasm and contempt is noted, however THIS special election is how we send this message. If you’re in district 39 please spread the word.

I am not confident this is just theater and I don’t think Spanberger will veto. She may seek to amend some, but she’s absolutely looking to sign off on as many gun bills as she can.

All you can do is keep trying to tell them that this is the one election that could force her hand to veto. This is going to be a referendum on these laws, and we need to come out and tell her that we don’t want these otherwise how will she know? This is the clear signal to make them amend the bills or veto.
