Virginia Governor Vetoes 30 Gun-control Bills
The Associated Press reported on March 26 that Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed 30 gun-control bills, signed into law two that have little consequence, and sent back six others with amendments for the state’s Legislature to consider.
During Youngkin’s first term as governor, both the House of Delegates and the Senate were quiescent on the issue of gun control. But once Democrats took control of both houses — by just one vote — the avalanche of anti-gun bills poured forth.
“I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of Virginia, and that absolutely includes protecting the right of law-abiding Virginians to keep and bear arms,” Youngkin, a Republican, said in his March 26 news release announcing the vetoes.
