Shortly after 9 AM yesterday morning, HB 961, the ban on "assault firearms", standard capacity magazines, silencers, etc. was tabled until next year's legislative session. This means Virginia now has an entire year, and a whole election cycle, to drive home the point that we will not allow our rights to be trampled with impunity.
Now we must sally forth and eject every single democrat from the legislature to make sure they understand what a very, very, bad idea it was to go on the attack against us... and to make sure they understand it well enough that it does not become an issue again for a long, long time.
Once we have the Socialists ousted from the legislature, we then need to set about telling the Republicans they need to roll back all the damages this legislature caused, or else their seats will be next on the chop block. They're not special if they can't fix problems government has caused, and don't need their seats in government if they don't.
I'm done being nice to politicians. This was just too damned close, and we're not out of the woods yet.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
