Here is a worksheet that tracks all of the anti-police/ anti-2A events across the country. Oh my. :/



Demonstrates the importance of communication channels like 2AC3 and the 2A movement. The scope of this document is highly concerning.

Thanks for the link.



I need to give it to the Left... when they want to get organized and active, they get their people out there! The behind-the-scenes coordination of all these protests is unprecedented.



They are a well funded, well organized machine who uses minorities and other marginalized groups to advance their political agenda under the guise of moral outrage.



We should take a cue in regards to organizing, and starting using tools and setting aside resources for what will be a showdown to determine what rights we keep.

Turnout Needed for VCDL peaceful Protest at Alexandria

NOTE: New time for the protest is from 2-6 pm. We will be rallying in Market Square.



THE ISSUE



The City of Alexandria is moving forward with public comment and a vote on a proposed ordinance to ban guns completely in government buildings, parks, recreation and community centers, and at permitted events and adjoining streets.



City Council had a chance to drop the proposed ordinance on Tuesday night, but did not. They made a minor amendment that did nothing significant for gun owners and voted to move forward with the public comment period and final vote on Saturday, June 20.



If passed, this ordinance would take effect on Wednesday, July 1, and would make criminals out of peaceful gun owners for merely being on a street that abuts a permitted event, or walking through any one of a myriad of public parks, or to go in City Hall to pay their taxes!





ACTION ITEM - GUN OWNERS NEED TO PROTEST THIS ATTACK ON THEIR RIGHTS!



This Saturday, June 13, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm, VCDL is calling on gun owners from Northern Virginia and beyond to protest outside of Alexandria City Hall, located at 301 King Street,... Read the rest of Letters to Rob: Unknown writes

Letters to Rob: Unknown writes Rob-



The 2020 VA General Assembly session had ended, and there has been a lot of propaganda from far-left media outlets saying Northam unequivocally got gun control passed. In reality, thanks to lobby day and our bombardment of email and voicemail boxes of lawmakers, we got major concessions on every single piece of Northam’s prosed gun control. Let’s take a look through each one:



“Assault” Weapons Bans: This was most certainly our biggest victory of all. Gun registration and confiscation bills SB16 and HB961 were killed, though HB961 did advance the House of Delegates, which will help GOP efforts in unseating them. The 10-5 vote in Senete committee on HB961 was to shelve the bill, not kill it, so we must return next year to say no!



Universal Background checks: The governor demanded universal background checks on all gun transfers whatsoever. Gun owners won a significant victory getting universal background checks limited just to gun sales.



Reinstating gun rationing law: Gun owners were able to get VA one-handgun-a-month bill to exclude CHP holders, even though they were not in the original bill!



Requiring reporting of lost and stolen firearms within 24 hours: Gun owners were able to get the deadline extended from 24 to 48 hours.



“Red Flag” Laws- Gun owners were able to get requirements for law enforcement to get a warrant, and offered punishments for false allegations. Though this is a victory, you should still pressure your sheriff to sign the... Read the rest of Letters to Rob: Unknown writes

Letters to Rob: William writes Good morning!



I noticed that it's been a while since an update. Anybody I should be calling or any bills I need to be aware of?



Thank you for your time and hard work.

Hi William,

Thank you for the support and encouragement.



You're right, my updates have decreased as we've gotten further into the legislative session. This is largely because most of the bills are in their last stages and there's little we can do at this point.



I really like what the Virginia Constitutional Conservatives had to say to their Minutemen, "The fight has just begun, one battle does not make a war.



We know this....and so do the Richmond Radicals. We have seen just what the radical left will do with power, and they will still have it in the next session. From gun rights to religious freedom, the far left totalitarians in Richmond are far from done pushing their radical agenda, but as you have seen, we can and will fight back.



And in the end we will win.



Thanks to you.



And now we need the Minutemen more than ever, for now is the time to begin building our effort to Restore Virginia Now. You fought and won against Northam's Gun Ban, you fought Red Flag Gun Confiscation to a tie, only to see the next radical candidate for Governor, Justin Fairfax, cast the deciding vote to trample the Bill of Rights.



Virginia stands in need of patriots like you, for the war has just begun."

Letters to Rob: Nelson writes In regard to your post, "I disavow the protester who showed up at Sen Levine's House".



I thought hard about your argument for a long time, before I responded. I understand your argument that, for you, it seemed over the top, and a possible public relations disaster, (which you attempted to associate it with the violent ANTIFA tactics of the left). I pondered that argument, long and hard, against the actual legal, justifiable demonstration of those two men, exercising their legal rights, against a petty tyrant who feels he can take Bloomberg money to write away our rights, without consequence.



Your position, I think, is a peace time argument of a peace time conservative. You take no risks in that statement, and because of that, will have no loss, if we lose this fight. Your contribution is putting up a web site. Big deal.



I am extremely disappointed in your declaration. This is not a time for peace time conservatives. If you are willing to lose this issue, based upon your fear of consequence, your contributions in this effort should merely be to witness and document, via this website. Your editorial is not something that is needed here.

Back Door Deal Moves Red Flag Law Through VA House Committee Democrats have brokered a back door deal in order to lock down the passage of a controversial Red Flag bill.



After HB 961, the notorious, "Assault Weapon" ban bill, was tabled for the year, attention shifted a set of contentious bills dealing with Extreme Risk Protection Orders, more commonly known as Red Flag laws.



Democrats in both the Virginia House and Senate have put forth similar bills dealing with temporary confiscation of firearms, but up until Friday, Democrats have been unable to agree upon which bill should move forward. Both bills have been strongly opposed by Republicans who are in the minority this year.



Sen. George Barker, a Democrat from Fairfax County who is sponsoring the Senate version, said at a House Public Safety committee meeting Friday (Feb 21), he and the House patron, Democratic Del. Rip Sullivan, have agreed on the Senate's version, with a few adjustments.



The Senate version of the bill, which requires the police to first give the person being served the order an opportunity to voluntarily give up their firearms before getting a search warrant to raise the person's home.



The House version allowed police to attain a search warrant before delivering the protective order, allowing police to search the premises for firearms at the same time.



Both bills have been heavily debated with proponents claiming that temporarily taking away firearms will lower suicides while opponents argue that stripping a citizens of their 2nd Amendment... Read the rest of Back Door Deal Moves Red Flag Law Through VA House Committee

EVENT - Ask Me Anything with VA Del. Glenn Davis Tonight @8pm EST (2/24) 2A*C3 will hold a live video stream at 8 p.m. EST Monday, Feb 24, with Del. Glenn Davis (R-84) to discuss recent controversies regard campaign contributions and gun control bills. The event will air live on https://2ac3.com/channel/12aee7e6bc85c5ea040aa0a66 (you must be a 2A*C3 member, which is free, to access the livestream).



The event will be an Ask Me Anything format, which allows everyone in the online audience to ask Del. Davis a question about any topic.



Del. Davis was entangled in a recent controversy surrounding a $44k contribution from the Democratic Party of Virginia, which the New Virginia Press alleges led to Del. Davis voting for multiple gun control bills including an expansion to gun confiscation orders.



Del. Davis has denied the allegations and has agreed to answer any question regarding the contribution, gun control bills or any other topic that is asked of him.



Gun control has been at the forefront of this legislative session as Governor Northam has pushed the new Democratic majority to pass 8 aggressive gun control bills that would make Virginia one of the most restricted states in the country. While many these bills have failed to pass committee, several still remain.



Del. Davis will likely be asked about his voting record on gun control, what the current status is on firearm related bills and what bills he thinks will likely become law in January.

We see where the passion is Senate hearing room divided between supporters of the Red Flag bill and those opposed.



No respect for those who took the time to get here early. Then they reserve front two rows on the opposition side for the patrons out of the opposition side. So much for accurately reflection of the public desire.

I disavow the protester who showed up at Sen Levine's House Gun Rights Activist Protests With Shotgun Outside Virginia Delegate’s Home







A Virginia state delegate is asking police to file charges against a gun rights activist who protested outside the delegate's home in Alexandria on Saturday with a long gun.



Del. Mark Levine says the activist may have committed a crime by sharing his address online with the intention of intimidating him. The activist, Brandon Howard, says he was just protesting peacefully.



Levine — a Democrat who represents parts of Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax — sponsored the assault weapons bill that failed in committee on Monday. The bill would have prohibited the sale of some semiautomatic firearms, banned bump stocks and banned the possession of magazines that hold more than 12 rounds.



Last weekend, before the state Senate voted on the bill, Howard issued a call to action.



"We're going to tell Mark Levine: We know where you live and armed citizens of the Commonwealth are going to come to your house, to your doorstep," he said in a Facebook video.



Howard, of Hopewell, Virginia, heads a group called Right to Bear Arms Virginia. In the video, he provided Levine's home address in Old Town Alexandria and invited others to join him there.



"We are going to take our destiny into our own hands," he said.

Red Flag bill moves to full floor vote The Senate version of Red Flag Gun Confiscation just cleared the House Public Safety Committee and will be on the floor soon for a full floor vote.



Time to hammer down on the House as well.



Here are the folks that need to hear from you and be told to vote NO on SB240



Delegate Carter- 804-698-1050

Delegate Guy- 804-698-1083

Delegate Tyler- 804-698-1075

Delegate Heretick- 804-698-1079

Delegate Askew- 804-698-1085



Tell them the same message you have been telling the Senators....



Veteran Suicides will increase under Red Flag, for veterans will not reach out for help if they know their homes are going to be raided.



And on February 24th, the House version, 674, will be heard in the State Senate Judiciary Committee- This is why we cannot stop pressuring the following Senators to vote against Red Flag Gun Confiscation-



Senator Lewis (D-6)- 804-698-7506

Senator Deeds (D-25)- 804-698-7525

Senator Hanger (R-24) - 804-698-7524

Senator Boysko (D-33)- 804-698-7533



Tell them they must support our veterans who need help, not send SWAT teams to raid their homes.



Thanks to the Virginia Constitutional Conservatives for the update

Letters to Rob: David writes Rob,



We celebrated our small victory but time to get back to work.



While I am going write a letter to thank the Dems who voted against HB961 there is also an important question to ask them. Why did they refer this for study wasting taxpayer dollars when there are already plenty of good studies done already to show their solutions do not work? Every Patriot needs to flood their offices with this question.



It appears they are playing politics with us and when "lives matter" as they say and real common sense solutions could be taken to curb violence in any form and save lives few things make me more angry.

The video of the actual vote is pretty interesting.





One senator moves to delay it for a year, another moves to delay the vote for 1 day, and another indefinitely. They took up the first motion and it passed.



Mostly because the Dem's who broke party lines need cover fire for their vote. They want to be able to tell people that the wording was vague and needed another body to look at what the impact would be before they were comfortable voting for it.



Yes, all politics.

We Won... What's next? We did it folks. We defeated SB 16 and HB 961.

We get to keep our ARs, mags and suppressors for another year at least.



So what happens next?

Do we just claim victory and battle rifle until next year?



You remember Sun Tzu (The Art of War)

Sun Tzu said, "When you're strong, you want to appear weak. When you're weak, you want to appear strong."



The Dems look defeated right now, but this is actually when they are the most dangerous.



What are they planning?

The first big one is Red Flag Laws.



Red Flag laws are most certainly going to lead to higher vet suicide rates as they won't reach out for help else the government will take their firearms.



The second group this will harm is people whose spouses or ex's try to use the law as a weapon in custody battles or divorce proceedings.



This is who you need to contact:

Senator Lewis (D-6)- 804-698-7506

Senator Deeds (D-25)- 804-698-7525

Senator Hanger (R-24) - 804-698-7524

Senator Boysko (D-33)- 804-698-7533



Tell them they must support our veterans who need help, not send SWAT teams to raid their homes.



What Else?

The other really serious bill is Delegate Price's HB 421, which destroys Virginia's firearms preemption law!



Currently gun laws in the Commonwealth are consistent, with the exception of shooting and hunting. Purchase, carry, transport, etc. are the same state statewide.



HB 421 allows localities to control... Read the rest of We Won... What's next?

Hello,



While we celebrate the defeat of HB961, please consider reminding everyone that HB421 presents a similarly grave threat to our 2nd Amendment rights by enabling municipalities to pass bans or restrictions on the right to possess, store, transport, or carry firearms, ammunition, magazines, and accessories.



We must contact these same Senators and urge them to defeat this dangerous bill! The fight is far from over.



Sic Semper Tyrannis!

Right back at you, guys. Tens of thousands of patriots stepped up to pressure Senators to kill HB 961, the most immoral of VA gun control bills in the 2020 session.



I have to admit that HB421 did fly under my radar. I didn't even initially add it to my 2A Bill Tracker, but I will today.



Here's a pretty good video on how to approach HB421



Northam Fails Bloomberg as the 2A Movement Kills the AR15 Ban The 2A Movement has received its first major win as Governor Northam's push for an, "Assault Weapon" ban has failed in the Senate!



Originally starting out as Senate Bill 16, Governor Northam had pushed law makers into passing a bill that would make it a felony to possess so called, "Assault Weapons" and standard capacity magazines.



This bill was withdrawn in favor of House Bill 961, which required registration of the banned weapons, and later a grandfather clause, but still banned sale of the guns.



These bills sparked outrage among citizens, motivating them to urge their County Board of Supervisors to pass 2A Sanctuary Resolutions across the state. 91 Counties, 15 Cities and 22 Towns passed 2A resolutions, affirming their commitment to uphold the 2nd Amendment. This sent a message to Richmond that Virginia did NOT support any laws that infringe on our right to keep and bear arms.



Nevertheless, Democrats have the majority in both the House and Senate, and with a Governor who badly needed a win on gun control after Bloomberg poured millions of dollars into Virginia's elections in November, the road seemed clear for the Left to pass any gun control bills they desired.



The problem was, the Democrats overplayed their hand.

Instead of boiling the frog like California and New Jersey, they attempted to eat it raw.



On January 20th, tens of thousands of citizens showed up in Richmond to protest the gun control laws. At the top of their list was HB 961.... Read the rest of Northam Fails Bloomberg as the 2A Movement Kills the AR15 Ban

Thanks, Chris.



I've seen a number of these petitions floating around the past few months. You might be surprised to learn that I haven't actually signed any of them.



Why, you ask?

First, I don't trust them.

I don't know who started them, who my email is being shared with and whether or not the petition has any legal merit.



Second, I don't trust Change.org. I've read that it's a left leaning website and petitions like these make easy lists for government to analyze.



Third, what exactly will this petition do?

Here is what an elected official can be recalled for...



Code § 24.2-233 states acceptable reasons for recall when it has "material adverse effect upon the conduct of the office" include:

1) Neglect of duty

2) Misuse of office

3) Incompetence in the performance



Other acceptable reasons include:

- Conviction of a misdemeanor relating to drugs

- Conviction of a misdemeanor involving a "hate crime"



Yeah, Northam is trying to undermine the 2nd Amendment, but will the courts find him guilty of any of the above because he supports California... Read the rest of Letters to Rob: Chris writees

Another video of the Capitol police clearing the room. Do you know of someone who was there that day?



Since I was not there I would not have standing or I would file a criminal complaint with the US DOJ under section 242 title 8 myself. This looks like a clear violation and someone there could file the criminal complaint with the US DOJ. The folks were understandably upset but they were not rioting.



I think it is time we test this.



Have them contact me via email and I can help them get the ball rolling.



I need to know the name of the lawmaker or official also who ordered the room to be cleared to specifically name in the criminal complaint.

Q&A with Rob I thought I would share some updates with the audience in the form of a Q&A.



Q. What's the latest on the immoral gun control bills in VA?

A. There were a LOT of gun control bills that started out in Jan. Most were defeated in committee, but a few of the bad ones got though. Most notably HB 961 which is the AR ban (now with grandfather clause), SB 64 which is paramilitary training, the red flag bill, universal background checks and 1 gun per month.



Q. Where are the bills at in the process?

A. You can track the latest on our 2A Bill Tracker, but basically the bills that I mentioned above have cleared the body they originated in and are in committee in the other body. ie. House bills are in the Senate and Senate bills are in the House.



Amendments or changes may or may not be added, then they'll back to the original body for final vote before going to the Governor for his signature into law.



Q. How are things looking?

A. It's likely they'll get 1 gun a month, universal background checks and red flags. Probably paramilitary activity. Not sure if the AR ban will make it through the Senate. We REALLY need to keep the pressure up calling Senators every day.



Q. Has there been any more 2A Sanctuary County action?

A. Not much in VA. Other states like NJ, KY and Utah are going crazy though passing 2A Sanctuaries. We've started something... Read the rest of Q&A with Rob

EVENT - AMA (Ask Me Anything) with VA Del. Glenn Davis (R-84) Delegate Davis is at the center of a controversy this week as the New Virginia Press reports that Davis received contributions of $44,000 from the Democratic Party of Virginia.



The article goes on to state, "And since winning his race just over three months ago, Davis’ recent voting record in favor of multiple gun control bills in the House of Delegates has raised eyebrows, especially in light of his reporting a donation from the Democratic Party.



In particular, Davis has voted with Democrats to expand gun confiscation orders and establish a state-recognized day intended to demonize gun owners. Overwhelming majorities of Republicans opposed both.



However, Davis hasn’t just voted for Democrat-based gun control bills; he’s even carried some of his own. Davis also carried a bill this year that would make it harder for Virginians to get a concealed carry permit."



Digging into it

Before spreading the story on social media, I decided to look into the allegations.



I went to the Davis' Facebook page, and I saw a series of videos and posts supporting the 2nd Amendment and railing against gun control bills in the House.



I looked at his vote on HB 961, the measure to ban the sale of ARs in VA, and he voted against the bill.



Something wasn't adding up

Why would a republican take $44,000 from the Democratic Party?

What was the money... Read the rest of EVENT - AMA (Ask Me Anything) with VA Del. Glenn Davis (R-84)
