🚨 Today, a bill to ban "assault weapons" was voted out of committee in the Virginia Senate-- and it essentially makes gun ownership illegal in the commonwealth.
Its author is State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim, who was born in Bangladesh.
In Virginia's code, an "assault weapon" is defined as "any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles."
The bill makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to possess or sell an assault weapon under this definition-- as well as any magazine that holds over 10 rounds.
Most firearms fit under this definition.
If signed into law, it would turn millions of law abiding gun owners in Virginia into felons with the stroke of a pen.
A horrific story out of Delaware. State Trooper Corporal Grade One Matthew T. Snook murdered in the line of duty. He leaves behind a wife and 1 year old daughter. I can’t think of a more important cause this Xmas than raising money for the family. As always 100% of proceeds will go directly to them and I will match 100%. I know money doesn’t lesson the pain in these situations but I did have the opportunity recently to sit with 3 widows from prior donation drives we’ve done. All of them said despite the tragedy they can’t put into words how much our support meant to them. We’re asking for help 1 more time
