Virginians Launch Petition Demanding
a Halt to 'Gun Control' Legislation


Virginia gun rights activists are signing an online petition
demanding a halt to the introduction of restrictive 'gun control'
measures by Democrats in Richmond

Only days into this year's legislative session, and already beleaguered Virginia gun owners have launched a petition demanding that the Democrat-controlled General Assembly immediately "reject and kill" one of several House bills introduced this session in an effort to ratchet down on Second Amendment rights.

The petition, appearing at Change.org, specifically targets House Bill 217, along with a "coordinated bundle of anti-Second Amendment legislation." As reported earlier by TGM, Democrats now running things are essentially making up for lost time over the past four years when Republican former-Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed 'gun control' legislation.

That has changed dramatically now that freshman Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger has taken over.

TGM received a statement from Chad Cadenhead, author of the petition, detailing his motivation for writing the document.

"Virginians and all Americans," Cadenhead explained, "are entitled to laws that fully respect and uphold our constitutional rights, rather than erode them.
