Word to the wise @SenFitzgerald #Virginia chose inaction in their #GVPsession in July. Now the GOP in the Commonwealth is in danger of losing both houses in next month's upcoming election. The same will follow in Wisconsin. https://t.co/Ss96Qp02pd

@VASenateDems @GlenSturtevant @NRA Really? @GovernorVA along with support from @VAHouseDems refused a 665k grant that used effective evidenced based measures to reduce gun violence. Seems like democrats just want political talking points not to actual solve a problem. #GVPsession

After feigning support for gun violence prevention, @GlenSturtevant receives "A-" and an endorsement from the @NRA. No question why--he's voted against gun violence prevention bills every year since he was elected to the Senate & cast the deciding vote to end #GVPsession early.

More than 11K Virginians have died from #gunviolence since Virginia Tech. During that time @ctoddGilbert has led the efforts in Richmond to kill all life-saving gun bills including adjourning #GVPsession in July. He has been handsomely rewarded @NRA 💰 https://t.co/D8JxKA28Xz

At an @NRA forum a few days after #virginiabeach shooting, @BillDeSteph blamed mental illness for gun violence. At special #gvpsession this summer instead of offering solutions to protect his constituents, he voted to adjourn & cowardly ran away. 36 days until #vaelections

An overwhelming majority of Americans support universal background checks and red flag laws, yet VA GOP blocked them AGAIN during the #GVPsession in July. Let's flip the Senate blue in November to pass commonsense gun safety laws. #HonorwithAction https://t.co/h28GflWMYD

If they alliance between the Gun Lobby and the @vahousegop wasn’t clear when they adjourned the #gvpsession in under 90 minutes without debate or voting, GOP leadership just accepted $200K from the NRA.

The NRA just gave $200K to @cToddGilbert 's PAC, according to VPAP. Don't usually see them cut individual checks that big in Virginia

Their shameful actions during the #GVPSession made one thing very clear: @SpeakerCox and the @vahousegop are much more radical than Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump when it comes to the gun lobby. https://t.co/M1hLcG0m9a

Last month, VA GOP adjourned the #GVPsession without considering a single bill, instead punting all bills to the #VACrimeCommission, without another meeting of the legislature before the November elections. https://t.co/LZeIHtPn73

@RachelBitecofer @cfthepodcast I get it. Why Spanberger was forced to say “Abigail Spanberger is my name” in the debate. It also showed Dave Brat to be the fool he is. From what I see Dems are tying the GOP in Virginia to Trump on policy. #CrimeCommission #GVPSession #Racism

“We have convened here today to do what responsible legislators do.” During #GVPsession, Del. McQuinn spoke of a delegate’s important duty to their constituents & the Commonwealth. Ironically, @vahousegop voted to adjourn and rejected their duty. https://t.co/LzKDjuF2eg

This week, the Virginia State Crime Commission is meeting to review bills from the #GVPSession. We want responsible action from the commission, not cowardly antics. https://t.co/X8TejSIpWb
