That's the condecending smile of a progressive who looks at the electorate and says "you don't understand, so we will do this for you because we know what's best for you". yeah right, Constitution? What Constitution.:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Looks like he's crusing for a date to me. Looks like the Wiki pulled the Civil Rights part.

This is going to get worse. I think UBC's will happen, though I highly don't want them. It just seems like they aren't listening to us. They are just doing what they want.

VCDL is part of a coalition of gun rights groups that have been fighting this. Hopefully they won't stop and agree to the amendments. We need solidarity right now. There is power in numbers.

If we lose, we lose but let's go down standing on both feet rather than holding our ankles.

Oh I know. I make reference to that about our Senators. For once it would be nice to see a senator go around and ask the peoples opinion. I mean, isn't that there job? To represent what the state as a whole wants? It's just sad to see the abuse of power.

I've been trying to get the actual text. That's been interesting. According to Toomy's office and Warner's, it isn't out yet and the discussions are based on the summary they have on their sites.

Manchin's aid hung up on me. Damn pencil neck little pr***....anyway, it should be a serious red flag that they don't want people reading the actual amendment.

Well. that didn't take long. And BTW you might be right (ref date). The morons north of the Ni made Timmy our shepard. OC is one of the
targets (no pun) on his list to usurp both the state and federal Constitutions.:cuss:

According to the woman with whom I spoke at Sen. Warner's Office, the details and implementation will be figured out after the bill passes.

That's crap. That should be considered before, and while voting. That's like saying I'm going on a shopping spree, and I'll figure out how to pay for it later.

It appears that a person would have made an unlawful transfer of a firearm if they pass their firearm to another person to protect their own life outside of one's home. The specified exceptions are only for hunting and trapping and do not apply to response to criminals or tyrants. That this didn't even occur to those writing this is sickening in itself.

I really don't think it is safe to make such an assumption.

However, it is worth noting that it was not included.....or more pointedly absent.

Thanks Grapeshot for all the work you've put in so far!

Hopefully everyone will keep the heat on Warner and Company. Who knows, he may blink.
