These grabbers don't like it. That speaks for itself.

The VA legislature can fix what happened at VT very easily. Allow CCW for students at colleges and universities. But that would require a spine for a majority of solons.

It’s all window dressing. They are still for it but have to complain about it. They raised little or no fuss when it went through Congress.

Unbelievable that they can even put this stuff out.

They seemed shocked that there would be any process to recover gun ownership rights and furthermore, that the govt only has 365 days to complete the process.

Wow, blood will be flowing in the streets etc etc

I hate these VPC morons.

I watched a show called “The First 48” that goes with the police through the first 48 hours of a homicide investigation. In one case, a guy is dragged from a barber’s chair into an alley where three guys are probably going to kill him. The only thing is that he was armed and shot two of them, killing one. The cops KNEW that it was a plain case of self defense. The problem was that the guy was an ex-con living among a very rough bunch of people. He either armed himself illegally or died. So he goes to jail for defending his life! What the heck kind of country makes people make that choice?

WorldNUTDaily has an article claiming exactly the opposite...that this new law (it was passed already) disarms verterans.

Of course, WorldNUTDaily thinks we’re all living in Y2K bunkers while munching on vast stores of MRE’s from the past 8 years...

How is it that GOA wound up on the same side of this argument as HCI?

These grabbers don't like it. That speaks for itself. Well, yes, but the grabbers at the larger and more influential Brady Campaign Like the bill.

The orgininal sponser of the bill, the notoriously anti arms rights Representative Carolyn McCarthy had this to say about it's passage:

"To me, this is the best Christmas present I could ever receive" -- Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), CBS News, December 20, 2007

The VPC says the "Gun Lobby" hijacked the bill, but the NRA supported it from the git go. even though after the Senate added some definite improvements, they hinted that they were responsible for them, via Senator Coburn, although I could not find where Senator Coburn initiated any amendments to the bill. Of course they didn't exactly say that either, they said they worked with Senator Coburn to address his concerns about the bill. Probably thus heading off an effort to hold up the bill in the Senate.

Probably part of the plan all along. use the reinstatement to get the rest passed, then before the ink is even dry, start crying for closing the loophole...

Like this reinstatment part would ever be followed in the first place in a timely manner...

Instead of just taking a few bad things out of a terrible bill, why doesn’t the NRA just kill it entirely. It’s not like Virginia is demanding gun control after the Tech massacre. Virtually every polls shows voters don’t even want the NRA’s gun control lite.

THIS is why I refuse to give to or support the NRA. While other gun groups are trying to kill a beatable gun ban the NRA just wants to put some makeup and earrings on it.
