Update Jan 22 @5pm est

Just a few minutes ago, the immoral SB240 passed the State Senate along party lines, 21-19.







That means we need to convince House Delegates not to vote for this bill.



Here are the most vulnerable House Delegates. We need to call them daily to urge them to vote against this bill.

------- ORIGINAL POST -------



On January 22nd, the Virginia Senate will be holding a floor vote on Senate Bill 240 to suspend Second Amendment rights and confiscate firearms without due process. Please click here to find your state Senator and call them to express your opposition to SB 240.



Let me break down SB 240 in simple terms

You're going through a nasty custody battle with your ex-wife, and she plays her trump card and says that you're a danger and you have firearms.



Cops show up to your door to ask you to voluntarily give up your firearms. You decline.



Cops get an emergency substantial risk order to remove your firearms.



Cops show up in the middle of the night, arrest you and take your firearms. You are now guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor, because, "It is unlawful for any person who is subject to an emergency substantial risk order to purchase, possess, or transport any firearm while the order is in effect."



A Class 1 misdemeanor is punishable by up to 12 months in jail, a fine of up to $2,500, or both.



There goes a year of your life. There goes the custody battle. Good luck getting your firearms back. Good luck voting while in jail. Good luck paying a lawyer, because you won't have a job, because you'll be in jail.



You think this is far fetched?

Google for the term, "Silver Bullet Divorce". Making false statements of abuse and harassment to gain the upper hand in a divorce proceeding or custody battle happens all the time.



Under state and federal laws, including the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), the term "abuse" goes beyond physical abuse and includes harassment, intimidation of a dependent, and generally interfering with someone's personal liberty.
