At the request of the Virginia legislature, the Virginia State Crime Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 20th to discuss Governor Ralph Northam’s anti-gun proposals. Among the proposed legislation is HB 4021, which seeks to ban suppressors in the state and require law-abiding owners to turn in the more than 50,000 suppressors currently in circulation in Virginia.
The American Suppressor Association’s Executive Director Knox Williams will be on hand to testify as one of the Commission’s invited guests. If you’re available, we encourage you to show up as well to show your support.
