A Lancaster County judge stayed proceedings in Crump v. Katz, delaying a June 12 emergency hearing while a three-judge panel considers whether several Virginia SB749 lawsuits should be consolidated or transferred.
Virginia’s defense of SB749 goes beyond public safety claims. In Crump v. Katz, the Commonwealth argues that Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution is a militia-tied right, not an individual Second Amendment-style protection.
A Lynchburg judge has rejected an effort by the Virginia State Police and Attorney General Jay Jones to dissolve an injunction blocking enforcement of universal background checks on private firearm sales.
Ten Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorneys have reportedly said they will not enforce Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s new assault firearms ban. Their position is simple: prosecutors swear an oath to the Constitution, not to unconstitutional gun-control schemes.
A new Virginia lawsuit challenges Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s gun-control package, arguing it bans common firearms, standard-capacity magazines, and public carry protected by the state constitution.
Here is an update directly from Philip Van Cleave, President of Virginia Citizens Defense League, on the legislative situation in the state.
Virginia’s Democrat-controlled House of Delegates recently passed a package of restrictive firearm bills on February 5, 2026, advancing what critics call the most aggressive assault on Second Amendment rights in state history.
Anti-gun legislators in Richmond have been busy ahead of the 2026 legislative session working on ways to burden your Second Amendment rights…
Virginia Democrats are holding back on some horrible gun-control bills until just a few days before the Virginia Citizens Defense League Lobby Day to minimize the number of gun owners that will show up.
Attorney General-elect Jay Jones, who doesn’t take office until January 17, 2026, is already trying to act like Virginia’s top law-enforcement official. And his very first move is aimed directly at your gun rights.
Heading into 2026 anti-gun Democrats won the election and controlled the House, the Senate, the Governorship, and the Lt. Governor’s office. Time to reignite local resistance…
Show an enemy committed to your destruction you’re not willing to fight to the hilt and don’t expect that to do anything but embolden them.
Fusaro has offered a detailed plan, and good one. It’s up to NRA and VCDL to share what plans they have developed to see how their detailed strategies compare…
AG Miyares is directly involved in fighting the Virginia Citizens Defense League and Gun Owners of America, not just some underling in his office…
Abigail Spanberger is not your average Democrat. She is the former CIA agent-turned-Congresswoman who’s now running to be Virginia’s next governor, and she’s bringing with her the most aggressive, well-funded anti-gun agenda in the state’s modern history.
The new Concealed Handgun Permits reciprocity agreement means that Virginia residents with valid CHPs can legally carry concealed in Pennsylvania, just as Pennsylvania permit holders can already carry in Virginia.
Jason Miyares has been Virginia’s Attorney General for three and a half years now, and for gun owners, his time in office has been somewhat disappointing.
Gloucester Attorney Dusewicz, a Republican, pushed forward with the charges, claiming he was keeping guns out of schools. However, a jury saw it differently, taking just an hour to acquit the men.
Do these groups truly care about public safety, or is their agenda primarily about disarming law-abiding citizens? Spoiler alert: they hate your guns more than the safety of your family….
A Temporary Restraining Order has been granted to Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) and Gun Owners Of America (GOA) in our lawsuit against BATFE’s new “engaged in the business” rule!
The Virginia Attorney General has just set the record straight: there is NO requirement to show previous in-person training when renewing a CHP.
Gun-control took it on the chin as VA Governor Youngkin stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Virginia’s lawful gun-owners!
Take action: You have the power to stop this insanity & send a strong message to the Democrats: punish violent criminals & leave the rights of law-abiding citizens alone.
Democrats continue their rampage against Virginia’s gun owners & the 2nd amendment. While Republicans continue to fight for us. Votes in committee and subcommittee were all along party lines.
So does being submerged in water causes trouble with the action of most semi-automatic handguns and rifles?
Why is Virginia’s reportedly ‘pro-freedom’ Attorney General, Jason Miyares, fighting so hard to protect Universal Background Checks?
To use Lori Haas’ own words, that is disqualifying. Plain and simple.
The real treachery here is by Dominion Energy for providing money used to put out phony “pro-gun” ads aimed at suppressing the vote of gun owners for Glen Youngkin.
Our guest today is Tara Craft. Tara is a firearms instructor, blogger, and Second Amendment advocate who shares her experiences as a female gun owner on various social media platforms.
