Virginia –-(Ammoland.com)- The State Senate is scheduled for a final vote on SB 323, a bill to repeal Virginia’s handgun rationing bill (one gun-a-month) on Thursday, February 2nd.
VSSA has already heard from some of our members that you answered our call to contact your state senator and urge their support for SB 323. Now, the gun ban lobby is making one final push to try and defeat the bill on the Senate floor.
There are five state senators upon which gun owners need to concentrate their efforts over the next critical hours.
They are:
- Sen. Harry Blevins (R-14th) – (804) 698-7514 [email protected]
- Sen. John Watkins (R-10th) – (804) 698-7510 [email protected]
- Sen. Walter Stosch (R-12th) – (804) 698-7512 [email protected]
- Sen. Phillip Puckett (D- 38th) – (804) 698-7538 [email protected]
- Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-25th) – (804) 698-7525 [email protected]
- Sen. John Edwards (D-21st) – (804) 698-7521 [email protected]
Senator Edwards voted for SB 323 in committee and Senator Deeds has expressed support for repealing the law in the past. Senator Watkins expressed his support for repealing the law recently but the anti-gun lobby is focusing on him and the other senators listed above.
Please take a moment and contact the senators listed above and let them know that the one gun-a-month law only affects and penalize law-abiding citizens and to please vote for SB 323.
