Dem. Abigail Spanberger, the candidate for Governor’s office, has stated that she will support every gun control policy proposed by Gov. Youngkin has been fighting against.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who has been in office for four years now, has acted as a barrier against the radical Left’s relentless attack on the Second Amendment. He vetoed 54 gun control measures aimed at destroying the rights of law abiding Virginians.

His unwavering dedication to the Constitution sets the national standard for protecting the right to bear arms, but it also highlights the aggressiveness of the radical Left. Virginians should be aware of the policies that Democrat legislators have in mind, and how the Commonwealth might look if Youngkin had not stood his ground.

“I took an oath of allegiance to the Constitution of Virginia and the Constitution of the United States of America, which includes the right of law abiding Virginians who follow the laws to bear arms,” stated Youngkin.

Here’s a clear picture about what my fellow Virginia gun-owners are facing this fall.

Goodbye freedom, hello regulation

Youngkin is the last line for gun owners in Virginia as Democrats currently control the House and Senate.

Spanberger’s loyalty to anti-gun lobbyists and her clear opposition against the Second Amendment is well documented. If Republicans are unable to turn one chamber red — or fail to push Lieutenant Governor Gov. If Spanberger is able to push Winsome Sears across the finish line of the gubernatorial race, he will certainly approve the most extreme gun control measures.

In 2025 Gov. Youngkin vetoed a total of 24 anti-gun laws that would have severely limited almost every right protected by the Second Amendment. In the previous year, vetoed thirty similar bills.

If not for Youngkin’s veto the Democrats would already have banned certain “large-capacity magazines” ( HB 1607) and hair triggers ( HB 1660), as well as binary triggers and other modifications that are used by professional and competitive shooters.

On the shelves, you will only find simple bolt-action rifles and single-fire weapons.

Visitors to Virginia who are licensed in states that have less restrictive gun laws would not be allowed to carry concealed weapons ( HB 1797). Even if this were possible, location restrictions could make it difficult for visitors to carry concealed weapons outside their own homes ( HB 1977).

This expanded sensitive location would include any mental health or hospital facility.

A person who is deemed a “prohibited individual” or under a protective orders would not be allowed to transfer firearms to anyone younger than 21 or anyone living in the same home ( HB 1960). A person who is deemed to be a threat by a red-flag law or someone recently convicted for domestic violence could not transfer firearms to a spouse or other family members living in the home.

The Democrats also pushed legislation to raise the minimum age of purchase for all firearms, including long guns (SB 848), ban the public carrying of “assault weapon” (SB 88), and extend the waiting period before receiving a firearm to five days (HB2631).

Virginia Democrats have even tried to pass legislation that would allow firearm manufacturers to face lawsuits for simply selling a gun to someone who used it later to commit a criminal act ( HB 1450).

These bills each pose a serious danger to Virginia gun owners. But when combined, they spell the end of freedom. Gov. Younkin protected Virginians during the past four years. But the next election puts Virginians into an unprecedented situation — will the Second Amendment be lost under Democrat leadership in Virginia?

Spanberger doesn’t stand by the Constitution

The Left has reimagined the Second Amendment as an issue of identity politics, weaponized to create a base of voters through fear. The Second Amendment is a political idea that should be viewed as the foundation of all the freedoms Americans value.

Fearmongering is effective, and the million of dark money that goes into gun control groups keeps it so. Abigail Spanberger has aligned with these groups for years, and will help bring their policies center stage if she is elected.

In Virginia, the Freedom ballot will be on the November ballot.
