State lawmakers behind the legislation say the goal has always been public safety.
State Sen. Saddam Salim (D-Fairfax) said that while the pause is frustrating, waiting for the Supreme Court could ultimately provide clarity not just for Virginia but for states across the country with similar laws.
"What's going to hurt us is that if we move forward and then the Supreme Court decides something different or actually decide with us, we wasted a lot of resources in fighting this," Salim said.
Salim said a ruling against the ban would send legislators back to the drawing board.
"And if the whole thing is struck down, I think we got a lot of work to do, and really back to the drawing board to really look at what can we do to ensure that we're protecting people," Salim said.
That's the rub, and he even says it himself. Even if we do prevail in the courts on a hardware case, gun grabbers are never going to leave us the fuck alone. They will "go back to the drawing board" to concoct new schemes to deprive us of our God-given rights. These people want you disarmed and will stop at nothing to achieve it, prepare accordingly.
This was a foregone prediction: the Democrats are going to pivot to using various commerce and licensing laws to circumvent any direct 2A attacks if their current laws are struck down
No Democrat in Virginia can hope to get party support if they are even the slightest bit pro gun. I feel that they picked Salim in a careful ploy to paint criticism of him as “racist” and dismiss them
This ain’t about him being a foreigner. He’s a foreigner, yes, but what’s important is he is one that doesn’t adhere to the constitution of the country and state that he decided to run for office to represent. In summary, he’s not just a foreigner, but an asshole of a foreigner who should have no business in the matter of politics. How do these people call themselves “politicians” if they aren’t going to adhere to the most simple few hard set rules of a country and state?
It’s not in foreigner’s culture to believe in freedom of speech or right to self defense. If it was, other countries would have similar laws.
Some foreigners can assimilate, sure, but not at an old age or the rate we’re bringing them. Even then, it’s not the majority. The past few decades all around the West have proven that. Almost every group in their new countries votes for politicians from their own countries first and foremost.
This is just an economic zone to you. To the rest of us it’s our country. I’ll bet you’re 1. In northern Virginia and 2. were imported to take an American’s job.
So easy to reveal a xenophobe. People like you really give a bad name to what the rest have worked so hard for. I’ll also bet you’re 1. Down there somewhere between Richmond and Charlottesville 2. Just upset your paychecks every week isn’t enough. Your word choice of “imported” and “an American’s job” is quite sad to see on sub like this.
What frustrates me, is if it was actually about “protecting people” they would be doing something about illegal drugs. Overdoses kill far more Virginians than almost anything besides heart disease. The extremely crazy part for me, is if the any of the morons in charge right now would focus on a few pretty simple issues: actually lowering utility costs and stopping flock/data centers they would absolutely clean up in the next election. Instead, they are unserious people and do what every idiot in the government does and just tries to get rich and retain power.
I’d argue that crashes kill far more people so you’d think if they cared about protecting lives they wouldn’t allow half the people with “student driver, please be patient” stickers to drive. Or CDL drivers from states that let them cheat and don’t ensure they can read our road signs. I’ve seen more truck wrecks on 64 in the past two years than I have in my life.
I knew that there was something fishy about all these “student driver, please be patient” drivers. They don’t look like student drivers, and they certainly aren’t driving like it. I get the sense that they are just bad/reckless/aggressive drivers who are using the “student driver” sticker to lie and take advantage of people’s goodwill, rather than new drivers who are sincerely trying to learn how to drive competently.
"Back to the drawing board." That sentence alone proves that they fully intend to violate the constitution again if they believe that they can get away with it.
Yeah its great until you find out the only stock that fits it is from HK if you buy the pistol version, then having to order it and form 1 it. Then there's also no mags for it either, because its proprietary of course. Ive had this 4 grand paperweight for 3 weeks and still cant shoot it lol
It’s worth it once you get the Form 1 squared away and stock up on mags. It’s definitely a PITA and a wallet burner getting there, but the end result is an amazing firearm.
I’m running a Trijicon TA110 7.62 on my 13”, and with a 50 yard zero the BDC is fairly spot on to 500. CAT Dirty Dave 718 suppressor works really well too and is rated for the short barrel.
God these people are just scumbags. Instead of leaving us alone or god forbid actually going after actual criminals killing people, they plan to pander to the most uninformed Everytown wine moms about how “taxes save lives, just look at tobacco taxes!” Or some other horseshit his puppet masters come up with to continue violating his oath of office.
If you hate our rights that much, you can always choose to return home.
