Virginia Democrats are steamrolling ahead with their war on the Second Amendment despite new polling showing the majority of Virginians oppose their radical gun-grabbing scheme. Afforded a trifecta after November's elections and no longer restrained by former Governor Glenn Youngkin's protective vetoes, Democratic lawmakers are preparing to devastate gun rights across the Commonwealth.

The numbers don't lie, patriots. Virginians see right through this constitutional assault, yet Richmond Democrats couldn't care less about what their constituents actually want. They're drunk on power and determined to turn the Old Dominion into another California-style gun control nightmare.

The Left's Gun-Grabbing Wishlist

Here's what these freedom-hating legislators have in store for law-abiding Virginians: a complete ban on the sale, purchase, manufacture, transfer, or importation of so-called "assault firearms" and magazines holding over 10 rounds. Because apparently, criminals will suddenly start following magazine capacity laws, right?

But wait, there's more. They're also pushing a five-day waiting period for ALL firearm sales and – get this – an 11% tax on firearms and ammunition. That's right, folks: they want to tax your constitutional rights while making you wait nearly a week to exercise them.

"This is exactly the kind of government overreach that our Founding Fathers warned us about. When politicians ignore the will of the people to advance their radical agenda, that's tyranny," one Virginia gun rights advocate told local media.

This is what happens when Democrats get unchecked power. They don't govern – they rule with an iron fist, trampling on constitutional rights while ordinary Americans watch their freedoms disappear.

The Real Agenda Exposed

Make no mistake: this isn't about "public safety" or "common sense" gun laws. This is about control – pure and simple. Virginia Democrats know that an armed citizenry is the last line of defense against government tyranny, and they're determined to dismantle that defense piece by piece.

President Trump and the America First movement have shown us what real leadership looks like. While Trump fights for our constitutional rights at the federal level, Virginia patriots need to make their voices heard in Richmond. Will Virginians stand up and fight back against this assault on their God-given rights, or will they let the radical left turn their state into another freedom-crushing stronghold?

I've lived in Virginia for 30 years and never seen such a blatant disregard for constitutional rights. My family has been hunting and shooting sports for generations - are they really going to criminalize law-abiding citizens?

Can someone explain what specific measures they're trying to push through? I want to make sure I'm fully informed when I contact my representatives.

As a retired police officer, I can tell you that criminals don't follow gun laws. All these restrictions do is hurt honest, law-abiding citizens who use firearms responsibly for protection and recreation.

The founders would be rolling in their graves. 'Shall not be infringed' means exactly that - no exceptions, no compromise.

Instead of wasting time on unconstitutional gun grabs, how about focusing on the real issues like crime in our cities and border security?

This is exactly why we can't trust politicians who campaign on one thing and then do the complete opposite once in office. Virginia voters made their voices clear and these Democrats are completely ignoring the will of the people.

Absolutely right. They think they know better than the voters who put them there in the first place.
