Abigail Spanberger, former Virginia representative and current gubernatorial candidate (D), has systematically undermined Second Amendment rights for Virginia gun owners through her advocacy of Orwellian red flag laws that are unconstitutional.
She consistently supported red-flag law legislation during her tenure as Virginia Representative. Spanberger, as a U.S. Congressperson in 2021, supported the Bipartisan Safety Communities Act, which was endorsed by Biden. This law required red flag laws to be eligible for mental health funding. Officially called Extreme Risk Protection Orders, “red flag laws”, empower to revoke Second Amendment rights for any Virginian who is deemed as a “risk” with no limit on the length of time that rights can be withdrawn.
We don’t live in a society where we punish people based on actions they may take at some unknown point in time, if ever,” said Adam Kraut, executive director of the a Second Amendment Foundation, during an interview with Restoration News , Adam Kraut said, “We don’t live a world where we punish people for actions they might take in the future, if at all.” It’s that simple.
Spanberger supported the Bipartisan Safetyr Communities Act in Congress which provided $5,1 million for Virginia’s red flag laws for 2021. He also voted in favor of the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order Act 2022. This bill was an extension of the BipartisanSafer Communities Act and allocated $750 million to red flag laws.
In response, the Federal Government provided assistance to 21 states as well as the District of Columbia in order to strip citizens of their Second Amendment Rights.
Abigail Spanberger will spell the end of gun rights for Virginians
Virginia is still a target of the gun control lobby, despite the fact that the national trend on gun control has shifted. Many states are rolling back their restrictive firearm policies. Spanberger has a long list of accomplishments, including volunteering with the anti-gun organization Moms Demand Action as well as speaking during one of their January rallies where she called further gun control measures.
Abigail Spanberger’s congressional vote and history tell the whole story.
If elected governor, Spanberger could usher in an administration that undermines the Second Amendment by emboldening red flag laws and advancing unconstitutional legislation previously blocked in Virginia by the current Governor Glenn Youngkin.
Virginia is at risk of becoming another failed state under her leadership. She combines extremist Californian-style laws with Washington, DC establishment politics.
