We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we need common-sense gun regulation here in Virginia.
Too many lives across the country are lost every day to senseless gun violence -- in Virginia, we know this all too well. Our communities are still recovering from the Virginia Beach shooting, and tragedies like El Paso and Dayton remind us that the only cure to this epidemic is to stand up and take action.
Mayor Stoney and the Richmond City Council have taken bold steps to be leaders in gun violence prevention -- and now the Virginia General Assembly needs to follow suit. Add your name to tell the Virginia General Assembly that it’s time to do the right thing and pass common-sense gun regulations.
When a special session was called to address the Virginia Beach shooting, we were hopeful that the General Assembly would follow Mayor Stoney’s leadership and finally have a real conversation about the gun violence problem in Virginia.
But instead, they ended the session after 90 minutes without a single vote.
It’s clear who these legislators care about: the NRA and special interest groups that are funding their campaigns through dark-money donations, not the voters who elected them.
How many more lives have to be lost before they stand up to the NRA and do the right thing for the safety of Virginians?
Enough is enough: tell the Virginia General Assembly that they’re beholden to the people of Virginia -- not the NRA -- and they need to take action on the gun violence epidemic now.
Frankly, we’re tired of hearing about another mass shooting on the news nearly every day -- it’s exhausting, draining, and devastating every single time. But we refuse to normalize senseless gun violence, and we will never stop fighting to end it.
Thanks,
Team Stoney
