Va is lost and here's why...

I would have used this as a teaching moment. All these gun control laws sound great until you delve into the details.

Universal Background Checks: Who really wants to sell a gun to a criminal who will be using it to commit crimes? Only those that are, themselves, criminals. But when you add the fact that registration is part of the process and that criminals don't go to gun stores or shows to buy firearms it shows this to be a simply "I feel like I am doing something" moment.

Red Flag Laws: Again, who wants to sell a firearm to a psychotic killer so he can shoot up a school. Pretty much no one unless they, themselves, are psychotic. But then you get into issues of violations of Constitutional rights and such. I tend to like to elevate this by saying if they cannot be trusted to own a firearm they can't be trusted to roam free in public. Now you are talking about jailing people without due process and the "feel goodness" of this starts to dissolve.

You can develop your own thoughts on waiting periods and the one gun per month rule following the same sort of logic.

Define Criminal.... or Mental. Today the Left is decriminalize illegal immigrants, theft, drug smuggling and selling. In some cases outright Assult is justified.

even without that outside half in CA, the residents of this state is still overwhelmingly liberal.

Lots of pacified Indians Chinese and Latin Americans you think the US Govt will take care of them just like back home.

I think it is something like three counties in VA are lost. The other 92 counties might feel a little different.

Well, if those counties elect the most of the legislature then others don't matter as much.

I was surprised that both of the African American supported Trump, but it was a pleasant surprise. Both had grown up in the south and the older guy, aged 68, absolutely hated Democrats. Said he lived through Jim Crow in the Deep South and wanted nothing to do with the Dem party.

This is why I am surprised that most African Americans don't support the Republican party!!

but were all 30,000 residents of VA? and also that is 30,000 in a state of 8.5 million (as of 2018) and of 5,682,805 registered voters as of 1/31/20

that isn't enough to vote to stop any gun control bills.

In therein lies the issue.
There shouldn't be votes on the second amendment
