Virginians will continue to be able to pack heat in day care centers when the Senate’s Committee for Courts of Justice rejected by one vote SB 743. Here’s the vote:
YEAS–Saslaw, Marsh, Norment, Howell, Lucas, Mims, Puller–7.
NAYS–Stolle, Quayle, Edwards, Reynolds, Rerras, Blevins, Cuccinelli, Obenshain–8.
I guess gun owners want to ensure they can defend themselves against attack by the baby brigade.
Meanwhile, the same committee approved SB 807 that would require gun buyers at gun shows to undergo background checks. Sen. Fred Qualye (R-Chesapeake) who voted against SB 743, sided with the gun control advocates.
YEAS–Saslaw, Marsh, Quayle, Norment, Howell, Lucas, Mims, Puller–8.
NAYS–Stolle, Edwards, Reynolds, Rerras, Blevins, Cuccinelli, Obenshain–7.
