One Handgun A Month Repeal Passes Virginia Senate

Virginia Citizens Defense League

Covington VA --(Ammoland.com)- The Senate just passed the repeal of One Handgun a Month by 21 to 19!

The House had already passed it.

The Governor said he would sign such a bill, so barring something truly bizarre happening, the One Handgun a Month repeal will go on to become law in the next month or so and will become effective on July 1st.

We will continue to watch the One Handgun a Month bills as they now flow through the opposite House.

The albatross is almost dead.

Key Senators Need to Hear From Gun Owners Now.

Virginia Shooting Sports Association

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 district14@senate.virginia.gov
• Sen. John Watkins (R-10th) – (804) 698-7510 district10@senate.virginia.gov
• Sen. Walter Stosch (R-12th) – (804) 698-7512 district12@senate.virginia.gov
• Sen. Phillip Puckett (D- 38th) – (804) 698-7538 district38@senate.virginia.gov
• Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-25th) – (804) 698-7525 district25@senate.virginia.gov
• Sen. John Edwards (D-21st) – (804) 698-7521 district21@senate.virginia.gov

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.
