Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed nine Executive Orders and two Executive Directives just hours after being sworn into office outside the State Capitol Saturday.
Prior to that, a pro-rights majority took the reigns of control in the House of Delegates as the General Assembly gaveled into session on Wednesday. Not much legislative work took place as the Assembly waited for the new statewide officeholders to be sworn into office.
Governor Glenn Youngkin’s actions and inaugural address, promise good things are ahead for Virginia. The Daily Wire described Youngkin’s address as a “Rousing Speech” that championed “Liberty” and a “New Day for Virginia”. While not mentioning gun rights, it was clear from his remarks that Youngkin believes deeply in the rights of individuals and that government needs to get out of the way and let the individual flourish.
In the General Assembly, there are a number of bills that have been introduced in the House and a couple in the State Senate to undo the restrictions placed on gun owners in 2020 and 2021. Many of those bills are awaiting assignment to committee.
There are very few gun ban bills as of today and the last day to introduce legislation is January 21. There is a bill to eliminate the ability of private citizens to build their own firearms (so-called “ghost gun” legislation”). VSSA’s legislative team will be at the Assembly every day of the session working to pass the many bills restoring our rights and defeating what is now less than a handful of bad bills.
There are no firearm-related bills on the docket in tomorrow’s Senate Judiciary Committee. VSSA will keep members informed of what is going on at the Assembly. You can track legislation by clicking here, and by following VSSA’s Facebook, Twitter, and Gettr feeds.
