the AWB will ensure that democrats will never win another election in Virgina after this, just like the clinton era AWB created a two decade dominance by the GOP

We’re in a different place now. Everyone except the 2A extremists is tired of all of the gun violence.

AWB is a no brainer.

keep thinking that

Guess you aren’t paying attention. Try turning off FoxNews/newsmax every now and then.

lol i dont watch any of that, i am not 50, i am in my late 20s. Lots of young people voted democrat this cycle for pot legalization and abortion rights, which i agree with. you touch my guns, it will be hell to pay.

If you prioritize abortion and weed over your 2A rights then you deserve everything you get by voting democrat

Go back to the hole you climbed out of.

MYOB Pro Choice all the way. No to PROJECT 2025 and the HERITAGE FOUNDATIONS maternity homes and rules for women and "men head of household"!

You don't. want an abortion or to smoke weed don't. We live in the United States of America we have freedom of choice and we dam well should.

Dictator Don is going to destroy this country hand us to Putin and I hope to god those children of yours are in that experiment.

You can't resist fascists if you ban firearms.

Strawman. No one proposed banning all guns.

All of the 2A supporters should show up with their guns to protest ICE. Let’s see how that will go down.

ICE protesters are already doing that in Minneapolis.

You wouldn't be able to do this in VA.

And then federal agents murdered a guy who had a secured gun.

Let’s see you go out there, big guy.

Most people will prioritize the safety of their families over your cosplay fantasy life.

If you were serious about protecting families they would go after handguns, but none of these bills do that. They prioritize scary rifles that kill fewer people than hammers/blunt objects or even fists each year. 2x as many people are punched to death than shot by rifles.

It's security theatre. Make effective policies.

Is that the narrative you like for your military cosplay?

How many innocent Americans have been shot by Trump’s armed goons this week?

Gov Spanberger please please don’t turn us into MD. Bad enough to have to go there sometimes, we don’t want to live there. Do not reinvent the wheel. There is no “mandate”, we just didn’t want your opponent’s crazy and we were mad at Youngkin because he insulted Feds.

Oh Screw you!

I am tired of these posts.

Today a MAN DIED BECAUSE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ITS LIES.

There is no amount of BS to ever elect another Republican in this country again.

Winsome Sears was a shitty candidate. Youngkin is an election denying POS traitor, criminal, who did nothing in office. You paid him with your tax dollars to lie to you over and over again.

Spanberger for god's sake was in our MILITARY. She is the BEST OF US. Smart Intelligent and not a god dammed treasonous shit.

100%

MAGAs have blood on their hands.

More like Californiacation of Virginia based on tax and gun policies.

It's a bit cold and far, but since Virginia is now a sanctuary state, our time will be soon.

They apparently can’t even do that. There’s not enough violent criminals to make Herr Miller’s daily arrest quota. And all that door to door action is causing them to miss their pickups.

They’re too busy dragging innocent Americans out of their homes with no warrant.

And murdering innocent people in cold blood on the street.

If they weren't a sancutary city, ICE wouldn't have any reason to go after criminals. They could pick up criminals from jail!

https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB357

Does Maryland actually have both these laws/policies?

Maryland does have overly permissive/forgiving policies for violent criminals. They don’t have a state level net investment income tax but they have a local income tax (in addition to regular state income tax) that has a similar rate to this proposed tax.

Eg. The Maryland Second Look Act passed 2025 allows some violent convicted murderers to request a request a reduction in their sentence after 20 years in prison.

How is this overly permissive? It’s just a request/review and the felon has to serve 20 years first.

Because this law is based on an emotional narrative about “second chances” and rehabilitation. It is not based on actual data that supports the idea and it creates a significant threat to public safety. The recidivism rate for violent criminals is is atrocious. Around 79% of violent criminals are rearrested within 9 years of their release. Even if you a just looking at repeat violent crimes a staggering 43% of these people are arrested again for a violent crime within 9 years. Furthermore, a significant percentage of violent crime are never solved, so the actual percentage of these people is committing violent crimes within 9 years is much higher. The repeat violent crime rate is definitely above 50% after adjusting for crimes that were commited by this population but go unsolved. It makes zero sense to give convicted violent criminals(especially convicted murders) second chances when the majority of them will victimize someone else with a violent crime within a decade of being released.

You don’t understand the bill and the data you provided does not support your position.

If you look at people who go to jail before the age of 25, the rehab rehabilitation rate is much higher.

The data you provided is for all ages.

Also, the bill is just for people under the age of 25.

Is under 25 the new definition of children?

No, it’s a statistically significant age group.

OK, so now we are implementing statistical justice.

Math is so hard for MAGAs.

That comment was wild. They literally don't know what it means.
