The Lancaster Circuit Court blocked the Virginia State Police from enforcing the challenged gun and magazine bans while our case continues.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to follow and signup for notifications!
But, anti-2A Attorney General Jay Jones wants that injunction stayed.
In plain English, he wants Virginia’s unconstitutional gun and magazine bans back in force while our case moves forward.
That means Jones is fighting to restore restrictions on the acquisition, transfer, manufacture, purchase, importation, and public carry of many commonly owned firearms and standard-capacity magazines.
These are the very bans the court has blocked from being enforced by law enforcement.
Jones’ office is claiming the injunction creates confusion and interferes with so-called “public safety.”
But the real threat to public safety is disarming peaceable Virginians and threatening them with criminal penalties for exercising their rights.
Article I, Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution is clear: “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
Jay Jones does not get to rewrite that constitutional protection simply because he does not like the judge’s ruling.
GOA and our allies are fighting to defend the injunction and stop these bans from being forced back onto Virginia gun owners.
As Independence Day looms, please consider helping us fight this battle against AG Jones’ attempt to disarm Virginians, by contributing to GOA’s Legal Defense Fund.
We will keep you updated as the Supreme Court of Virginia considers Jones’ attempt to put these unconstitutional bans back in effect.
