Wonderful news from Virginia

From the Washington Examiner:

Bloomberg’s gun ban rejected in Virginia with Democratic help
Despite spending millions to turn Virginia’s legislature blue and a last-minute visit to Richmond, Democrats in the Senate turned back presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg’s top goal in the state of banning “assault weapons.”

In a lopsided 10-5 vote, the state Senate Judiciary Committee killed any advancement this year, pushing the legislation off for a year.

A politicians job is to represent their constituents. If they do not, they get voted out and a new pol is hired for the job.

Their work is not done yet - there is a need to stay vigilant:

While the state legislature has approved several Bloomberg-pushed gun control measures, the bill, HB961, killed today in Richmond was the top goal. It would have banned the sale of AR-style semi-automatic rifles, the most popular rifle in the United States. It would also have banned suppressors and large ammo magazines.

Gun ban bill defeated! This morning the VA Senate Judiciary Committee voted to table HB 961 for 1 year. Three sheriffs were present: myself, Sheriff Vaughn, and Sheriff Helton. Our 2A patriots sent a message, loud and clear, on these bills. We cannot rest, however. Other bills remain. pic.twitter.com/P9koC8aCPD target="_blank"

Nice to see the pendulum swinging back to conservatism.
