VA - VA Senate to vote on Private Sales at Gunshows.

[Ironbarr]

I urge Virginia gun enthusiasts to do just one thing - subscribe to the FREE VA-Alert maillist at www.vcdl.org - know what the legislature is doing for and to you. Get the info direct to you about every gun-related bill. Membership in VCDL is not required for subscribing to this info maillist.

This is a short session and things are already flying fast. Consider this last Alert today:

Jim Kadison, who attended the Senate Courts of Justice committee meeting today on VCDL's behalf, reported to me the following:

GOOD NEWS

SB743 - the day care center gun ban, was DEFEATED by 8 to 7! Yes!

BAD NEWS

SB807 - the gun show private-sale registration scheme from Senator
Marsh PASSED by an 8 to 7 vote. At least three 'pro-gun' Senators
voted for this monstrosity:

Senator Norment (in fact Norment had left the room. Had he stayed
gone the bill would have died by a 7-7 vote. He returned and put in
the final 'yes' vote that got it passed), Senator Quayle, and Senator Mims.

WHAT TO DO

You must immediately contact your Senator and say that you want SB807 defeated. A floor vote often comes within 3 days of leaving committee, so time is of the essence.

A new email reflector will allow you to send email to your senator or delegate without any more than a "Send" click... no muss, no fuss. But only if you want to send it.

But it would be $15 well spent!

Senator Mims is not pro-RKBA. I am one of his constituents, and he's very disappointing.

Not as bad as that RINO Potts, though.

Summary as introduced:
Transfer of firearms; criminal records check; penalties. Adds a definition of "firearms show vendor" and requires that a criminal history record information check be performed on the prospective transferee before the vendor may transfer firearms at a gun show. Under current law, only licensed dealers must obtain such a check.

Current Status:
01/19/05 Senate: Reported from Courts of Justice w/amds (8-Y 7-N)

BTW, does anyone know how to see if your VCDL membership has expired or not? I can't remember if I re-upped in September.
