Permit required to purchase ANY gun in Va?

[mattg43]

The Virginia legislature is currently considering a bill to require a permit to purchase *any* firearm. This includes your standard hunting shotguns and rifles.

This bill would require you:

- to be fingerprinted
- to have taken a class with live fire training within the last 2 years. The classes will likely cost hundreds of dollars and take months to schedule due to the restrictions they are placing on instructors
- to apply for the permit which can take up to 45 days for approval. The permit would have a fee, probably $50. The purchase permit, including fingerprinting, would need to be renewed, probably every 5 years

In addition, a firearm dealer would still need to run the standard background check when you purchase a gun, and there will likely be a 5-day waiting period after the background check is approved!

If you want to fight this and other restrictions on firearms, please share the word about VCDL's Lobby Day, which is on Monday, January 19th at the Capitol in Richmond: [https://www.facebook.com/share/1AKnDQM6X2/].

Wow! This sounds like a heavy restriction on lawful ownership

Fight back, make a donation to the VCDL. This is the loudest and most effective local group that takes political action for Virginian's right to bear arms.

The Virginia Citizens Defense Foundation(VCDF) is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization set up to fund lawsuits to defend and restore our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

Even if it's $25.00, less than the cost of a good box of hunting ammo, send them something, or even sign up as a member (only $25.00).

What happened to the 2nd Amendment? This is why your vote and every vote for that matter, counts... SMH

It is glaringly clear to me that what Spermburgler and her ilk wish to do is unconstitutional!​

Constitution of Virgini​

Article I. Bill of Rights​

Section 13. Militia; standing armies; military subordinate to civil power​

That a well-regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
