Via Epoch Times: Virginia Gun Rights Advocates Brace for 2 Dozen Gun Control Laws to Take Effect July

VSSA spoke with Epoch Times reporter Michael Clements yesterday about the gun ban bills that are currently on Governor Spanberger's desk awaiting her action.

In November 2025, Democrats took control of both houses in addition to sending Spanberger to the governor’s office. Many of the freshman legislators were active in the gun control movement, including the new governor.

“It was expected that this was going to happen when the Democrats got that trifecta,” said David Adams, legislative director for the Virginia Shooting Sports Association (VSSA). “I fully expect Gov. Spanberger to sign all of these bills.”

In an email to The Epoch Times, a spokesperson said Spanberger is considering her options.

“As the mother of three daughters ... and a former federal law enforcement officer, Gov. Spanberger, knows how important it is to make sure kids and families are safe. [She] is grateful for the efforts of legislators and advocates to address gun violence, and is carefully reviewing all legislation on her desk,” the email reads.

VSSA stands ready to challenge the gun ban and other bills in court. Please join thousands of Virginia gun owners and join VSSA to help us fight for your rights.
