Virginia's Lobby Day Was A Watershed Moment For Gun Owners

The Citizens Defense League organized a significant rally on Lobby Day, a tradition where Virginians engage with lawmakers on key issues. This year, the focus was on opposing gun legislation proposed by the Democrat-led General Assembly. An estimated 22,000 people attended to support the 2nd Amendment. The Virginia Senate recently passed laws for universal background checks and red flag laws, which are supported by many voters but opposed by gun owners who see them as a threat to gun rights. Gun owners expressed concerns about future restrictions and emphasized their rights to hunt, fish, and live freely.
