VA: Tell AG Jason Miyares to Support 2A


 

Attorney General Jason Miyares has recently sided against us in court by defending Virginia’s unconstitutional One Handgun a Month law. Instead of standing with gun owners, he worked to keep that restriction in place and argued that it should survive even though similar laws have already been struck down elsewhere.

Now there is an even bigger concern.

Twenty six attorneys general and the Arizona Legislature have just filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in Gator’s Custom Guns v. Washington. They are urging the Court to overturn Washington State’s ban on magazines holding more than ten rounds. If the Court agrees, it could set a nationwide precedent affirming that magazines are protected arms under the Second Amendment– a big win for the 2A.

This coalition includes states from every part of the country. They told the Court that lower courts are ignoring Supreme Court precedent and treating law abiding citizens as criminals

However, Virginia is missing from the list. Jason Miyares left us out while twenty six other states stood up for gun rights.

That is why we need you to take action right now. Reach out to Attorney General Jason Miyares and tell him that Virginians expect him to defend their rights, not abandon them. The Office of the Attorney General must stand in solidarity with gun owners by filing an amicus brief in Gator’s Custom Guns v. Washington, and by dropping to defense of the unconstitutional “One Handgun a Month” statute.
