**************************************************
5. Fairfax County's School Board and Board of Supervisors plan to
urge the General Assembly to pass more gun control
**************************************************
Well they're at it again in Fairfax County!
Both the School Board and Board of Supervisors have included anti-gun
positions in their legislative agendas urging the General Assembly to
restrict YOUR right to keep and bear arms:
School Board Draft Legislative Agenda: See
http://tinyurl.com/2wkj2q, at pg 34:
"The FCSB supports legislation to prevent weapons violations and to
protect citizens, specifically authorization for localities to ban
possession of dangerous weapons in recreation centers and prohibition
of the sale of look-alike firearms, particularly BB and pellet guns,
to minors. The FCSB supports interpretations and provisions of law
that allow local school boards to be rigorous in banning the
possession of weapons on school property in order to protect the
safety of students in the school environment."
County Supervisors Draft Legislative Agenda: See
http://tinyurl.com/2da5hm, at pg 5:
Summary of County Initiative item 4: (1) Allow County to preempt
state law and ban gun carry on all County property, with a permit
holder only exemption; and, (verbatim) (2) "Oppose any state or
federal legislation that would make it easier to traffic in illegal
weapons."
VCDL Analysis: Looks the like the current elected leaders of Fairfax
County don't believe in your right to self-defense and are living in
the past. They even want to repeal concealed handgun permit holder's
right to carry in vehicles on K-12 school grounds!
Hello!? Did they not watch pro-gun Democrat Chap Petersen crush
anti-gun Republican (and Bloomberg backed) Devolites Davis on
election day??
We're not sure the Fairfax County School Board took the time to ask
for public comment, but the Board of Supervisors did, and the
comments were 2 pro-gun & 0 anti-gun out of the 3 speakers at the
hearing. To watch the video, go to
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cable/channel16/asx/bos_11_19_pub_hearings.asx,
then move toggle button at bottom of video to 58:30. At the end of
the hearing, Supervisor Connolly said the record will remain open for
more public comment until their next meeting in December when they
will vote on the final form of the agenda.
ACTION ITEM # 1: If you are a Fairfax County Resident, email the
Board of Supervisors and the newly elected Supervisors to tell them
to delete the anti-gun agenda items!

Subject: Please remove anti-gun items from the County's Legislative Agenda!
Dear Supervisor:
I urge you remove an anti-guns item from the County's Legislative Agenda.
I specifically object to the effort to ban gun carry by law-abiding citizens on County property. The right of self-defense does not end just because a citizen sets foot on County property paid for with taxpayer dollars in the first place.
Further, I object to the non-sensical plank about opposing measures to facilitate trafficking of illegal weapons. Just what on earth IS an illegal weapon??
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME YOUR ADDRESS

ACTION ITEM # 2: If you are a Fairfax County Resident, email the
School Board and the newly elected members to tell them to delete the
anti-gun agenda items!

Subject: Please remove anti-gun items from the School Board's
Legislative Agenda!
Dear School Board Member:
I urge you remove the 3 anti-gun items from the from the School
Board's Legislative Agenda, which are: (1) To "ban possession of
dangerous weapons in recreation centers," (2) prohibit "sales of BB
and pellet guns to minors," and (3) to support "interpretations and
provisions of law that allow local school boards to be rigorous in
banning the possession of weapons on school property."
The School board needs to stick to education and stay away from
anti-gun politicking. Frankly, restrictions on gun carry by
law-abiding adults on school grounds are already too onerous, and I
will be urging my legislator to conform Virginia law to federal law
and that of many other states so as to fully de-criminalize concealed
handgun permit holder gun carry on ALL portions of school grounds and
at school events.
Simply telling criminals and madmen who seek to murder people "I'm
unarmed, please don't hurt me" does not work.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME YOUR ADDRESS
P.S. To send the school board action email to the newly elected
Springfield District School Board Member, go to
