A lot of y'all have been hitting me up in my various comments sections asking about what *may* happen (probably will) at midnight.

Well..... I've been in contact with politicians/lawyers/IOIs/state reps/etc.... over the last 48 hours pretty much constantly. If it goes through, there will be some nuances that will be important.

I'll be dropping a video sometime tomorrow, depending on how everything plays out, with all the details I can provide but some initial things to consider:

1. Some states have laws pertaining to the NFA - *most* of those will still be in play.

2. We (FFLs) still haven't received any guidance as of this post which will put FFLs that do transfers in a tough spot tomorrow. Most are mom and pop shops without attorneys on staff so please extend grace to them in the near term.

3. For some people in some places, "making" and "transferring" are legally different.

4. I know a lot of y'all are trying to join GOA (y'all can use QR code below to sign up) so you'll be covered as a plaintiff and I know their site keeps crashing due to this but it's coming back every few minutes so hit refresh accordingly...

If this happens - it'll be the biggest "win" in restoring our 2A rights in A VERY LONG time which is insane to even type out but it's true.

Thank you to all of y'all who have watched/called/written emails/etc... over the last few years. Without y'll this would have never happened 🇺🇸💯

The win is here. Phase One starts NOW. 🇺🇸
Qualifying suppressor transactions at participating PSA locations in South Carolina can now move through a 4473 + normal background check without the separate Form 4 process described in the old system.
And qualifying PSA-sourced suppressors through our direct dealer network may be covered.
Watch the full breakdown.
State/local laws apply. Not legal advice. If you have questions, consult an attorney.

BIG NEWS - Virginia's weapons ban has been temporarily stopped by a preliminary injunction! What does that mean?
The preliminary injunction temporarily stops the enforcement of Virginia SB727.

There's an old saying that says you can't cut corners on the Constitution. Our Virginia Supreme Court is about to find out just how many corners were cut on the recent gerrymandering amendment.

When the Democratic-controlled General Assembly in October 2025 decided to hijack a special session, rewrite its own procedural rules on the fly, and ram through a constitutional amendment mid-election, this was not governance but a naked power grab.

When Virginians were asked to vote on a deliberately manipulated ballot question in April 2026, the power grab was made worse. The Virginia Supreme Court has the authority and a solemn obligation to say as such. The judiciary serves as a check to that power and as the last line of defense when the other branches forget their limits.

Virginians have arrived at that moment.

What the Virginia Constitution requires is explicit. Proposed constitutional amendments must pass through two separate sessions of the General Assembly, with a general election of the House of Delegates occurring between those two votes.

This is no mere bureaucratic formality, but an intentional, deliberate and structural safeguard designed so that major changes to our governing document are considered by legislators answerable to voters who know precisely what is at stake.

As a circuit court judge already found, because the next qualifying House of Delegates election cannot occur until 2027, the process is void from the start. This is no technicality, but a bedrock requirement where amendments to our constitution should be fair, deliberate, transparent and accountable to the people.

Yet the manipulation doesn't end there. Once a proposed constitutional amendment passes the General Assembly the first time, the Virginia Constitution requires the Clerk of the House to transmit the text to every circuit court clerk across the commonwealth to post the amendment publicly for at least 90 days before the next election.

Instead, Virginia Democrats ignored this requirement and admitted as such during the 2026 General Assembly by clumsily attempting a retroactive correction, something that has never occurred before in the 400-year history of the Assembly.

Then there is the ballot language. Virginians were asked whether they wanted to "restore fairness" to elections. That is campaign rhetoric disguised as a ballot question, which tells a voter that opposing the amendment means opposing fairness. Does that strike anyone as neutral or fair?

The contention from Virginia Democrats that the voters have spoken is as manipulative as the ballot language itself. Certain facts remain facts. The Virginia Constitution requires voters to be given an honest and accurate description of what they are being asked to decide. That never happened. The process was unconstitutional, the language was unconstitutional, and from start to finish, Democrats manipulated both the public and the process because they knew they could never win on the merits.

Respect for the voting will of Virginians means more than manipulating the Constitution to produce a desired result. The justices of the Supreme Court of Virginia must rise to the moment and be the check of sanity and balance in the face of political manipulations.

Striking down this manipulated amendment will reinforce to every Virginian that our rules mean something, that the Constitution is not an obstacle, but a commonly shared playbook that binds all of us, regardless of party, to one set of rules. That good government is respected by law and through good process. That in Virginia, our laws are not suggestions to be sidestepped when inconvenient, but the fundamental criterion upon which all we claim to hold dear stands.

The Fourth Amendment isn't optional. If the government wants to read your messages, search your data, or spy on you, they need a warrant. Period.

My Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act ends warrantless surveillance of Americans.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

I requested information from the ATF on a secretive program that appears to allow the federal government to monitor law-abiding Americans attempting to exercising their second amendment rights. I plan to follow up since we haven’t heard anything in almost a year.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Where in the Constitution do you see the word 'permit?'

Exactly.

Pass the National Constitutional Carry Act.

[Colion Noir @MrColionNoir]

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger said she supports the Second Amendment… then signed gun control laws and submitted changes that could effectively ban handguns.

That’s the part people need to sit with.

Because if Governor Abigail Spanberger really supports 2A, why is she pushing laws that go after the kind of handguns regular people actually carry for self-defense?

You can’t keep saying “I support the Second Amendment” while trying to gut it piece by piece.

So I want to hear from y’all:

What do you call it when a governor says she supports the Second Amendment while backing laws that could ban handguns?

Comment: LIAR, CLUELESS, or AUTHORITARIAN

And bigger question—

What’s more dangerous now:

politicians who openly hate the Second Amendment
or
politicians like Abigail Spanberger who claim to support it while working against it?

Drop your answer in the comments.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

When even the Washington Post calls out Abigail Spanberger’s “brazenly dishonest” campaign to disenfranchise voters, this is about more than politics.

This is about fairness, democracy, and protecting the voice of millions of Virginians.

VOTE NO.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

251 years ago, Patrick Henry stirred the hearts of Virginians to make a stand against tyranny with the words “Give me liberty or give me death.”

Today, Virginians can carry that spirit of liberty against tyranny with just one word: “NO.”

Join me in voting NO on the far-left’s unconstitutional gerrymander and get 10 friends to do the same between now and April 21st. We all need to fight in one direction against this blatantly political power grab that overturns the will of the people.

WATCH: A Virginia neighborhood was shaken by a loud explosion and a massive house fire, prompting at least 50 families to be evacuated.

One man who was inside the home was taken to the hospital, though officials have not released details on his condition.

Firefighters worked for several hours and ultimately brought the blaze under control.

The description of this amendment brought to you straight from the ministry of propaganda.

[Michelle Maxwell ™ @MichelleMaxwell]

Virginia, we have a problem — and it's going to take all of us to fix it.

In 2020, nearly 2.4 million of us voted to end partisan gerrymandering in Virginia. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents came together to say: our districts should represent our communities, not political parties.

Now, that historic reform is under attack.

Out-of-state PACs are dumping millions into a scheme to ram through a constitutional amendment that would redraw Virginia's congressional map into a partisan "10-1" gerrymander — splitting communities apart to guarantee one-party rule. And they're doing it through a special election on April 21, a date deliberately chosen so most Virginians won't even know it's happening.

That's why we launched NO GERRYMANDERING VIRGINIA — a bipartisan coalition that includes former Governor George Allen, former Speaker William Howell, former State Senator Chap Petersen, former Delegate William Fralin, and redistricting advocate Brian Cannon.

We don't agree on everything. But we agree on this: voters should choose their representatives — not the other way around.

This isn't a Republican issue or a Democratic issue. It's a Virginia issue.

Stand with us. Share this page. And mark April 21 on your calendar — because they're counting on you to stay home.
