Pro-gun rights

Virginia’s new gun ban laws have exposed a clear divide across the Commonwealth.

Some prosecutors are choosing to stand with law-abiding gun owners and the Constitution, while others are helping anti-gun politicians defend one of the most sweeping attacks the Second Amendment Virginia has ever seen.

Attorney General Jay Jones is now attempting to consolidate multiple lawsuits challenging Virginia’s new firearm and magazine bans, a move designed to deprive each case from having its day in court.

Shockingly, two Republican Commonwealth’s Attorneys joined that effort.

Frederick County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ross Spicer and York County Commonwealth’s Attorney Krystyn Reid signed onto Jones’ filing, aligning themselves with the same political machine pushing bans on commonly owned firearms and standard-capacity magazines.

TAKE ACTION

If you are a resident of York or Fredrick Counties, contact your Commonwealth’s Attorney and tell them to to stop siding with Jay Jones!

At the same time, several Commonwealth’s Attorneys across Virginia are taking the opposite approach by publicly signaling they will not participate in enforcing these unconstitutional restrictions.

Those prosecutors include:

Leslie M. Fleet — Appomattox County
John L. Lumpkins Jr. — Goochland County
Phillip Blevins — Smyth County
Rob Cerullo — Powhatan County
Justin L. Griffith — Pulaski County
Kyle Kilgore — Scott County
Ryan Mehaffey — Spotsylvania County
John S. Bell — Warren County

If this is your attorney, please reach out to them and thank them for their steadfast defense of what’s right!

If you don’t see your attorney on this list, reach out to them and urge them to publicly refuse to enforce Virginia’s unconstitutional firearm bans.

Together with our friends at the Virginia Citizens Defense League, we prepared this letter that Commonwealth’s Attorneys can sign and release publicly, and we encourage you to forward it to your local prosecutor by email.

Gun owners are tired of watching politicians and bureaucrats treat constitutional rights like temporary privileges.

Now is the time to ensure that every Commonwealth’s Attorney in Virginia publicly declares where they stand.

Today, Chief Counsel Joshua Prince, assisted by Attorney Dillon Harris, secured a monumental decision by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court, wherein the Court ruled that Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Bivens and the Pennsylvania State Police's regulation, adding a "disqualifying criminal offense" as a nebulous, prohibiting criteria, was unconstitutional. Specifically, the Court declared that: (1) Lieutenant Colonel … Continue reading MONUMENTAL Decision – Regulation of Act 235 – PA’s Lethal Weapons Act – Ruled Unlawful →

What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed its reply brief with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Elite Precision Customs v. ATF, which challenges the federal laws prohibiting licensed firearm dealers from selling handguns to out-of-state buyers. FPC filed its appeal after the district court wrongly upheld the ban.

The Biden DOJ & ATF sent Adamiak to prison for 20 years for nothing, now gun owners have the chance to help free him and right this wrong…

Joe Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice ruined Tate Adamiak’s life.

President Trump must pardon him.

Gun Owners of America is calling on our grassroots members to call the White House and tell President Trump to Pardon Tate Adamiak!

Tate Adamiak’s Case

For those who may not know, in 2022, federal agents arrested Patrick “Tate” Adamiak, a U.S. Navy sailor with no violent history or criminal record.

Tate’s crime? He was a firearms enthusiast.

If that sounds like an exaggeration, it’s not.

Biden’s weaponized DOJ charged Tate with violations of the National Firearms Act for having collectible firearm parts at home.

Importantly, NONE of these items were an actual “firearm” under the NFA – at least, not until ATF agents tampered with evidence before trial, leading to one of the most unjust convictions we’ve ever seen.

And to make matters worse, the U.S. Supreme Court has just declined to hear Adamiak’s case.

That means if the DOJ doesn’t ask that Tate’s sentence be reduced at an upcoming hearing, then a presidential pardon is Tate’s last shot at freedom.

We’re calling on the Trump Administration to do the right thing and reverse this Biden-era miscarriage of justice.

We as a community, need to help Tate Adamiak.

Adamiak was following a legal process and did everything he needed to do, he didn’t try to “bend” the rules, he was following the law. The ATF put him in prison anyway.

Tate has now exhausted his appeals, and the Supreme Court apparently had no appetite to right this wrong.

But here’s where you come in.

Call the White House and demand that President Trump grant Tate Adamiak a Presidential Pardon.

After all, under this administration, ATF has entered a “new era of reform,” pledging to clarify regulations and end weaponization.

There is no better place to start than to set Tate free.

Call the White House at 202-456-1111.

What: Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a new federal lawsuit, NRA v. Moore, after Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed legislation to ban semiautomatic handguns with a cruciform trigger bar, which includes nearly every Glock and Glock-style pistol on the market. FPC is seeking a permanent injunction against the enforcement of the ban as well as other relief.
