Virginia County Supervisors Pull Gun Control Support After Public Backlash

Prince William County supervisors pulled a resolution in support of more firearm laws after county residents flooded their board meeting Tuesday with opposition to gun control.

The Prince William Times reports that the resolution was initially discussed by the previous board of supervisors, which was Republican-controlled, and which passed a “Constitutional County” declaration December 10, 2019.

Democrat Board Chair Ann Wheeler proposed Resolution 10A for the new board, and the matter was discussed on January 7, 2020, but a vote on the matter was suspended amid public backlash.

The vote was rescheduled for January 21, 2020, only to be abruptly canceled on January 14, 2020, with the resolution tabled “indefinitely.”

Go figure in a VA county that is primarily military - good on the folks who showed support. I was involved and after 22 years in the military I support their efforts - my only thought is this; “what were they thinking?”

Its scared. ...and it should be. That glimpse of common sense means there is still hope. Pray.

Need to do a recall of all politicians who vote for gun control and throw them out.

They got WOKE! They knew there were enough people supporting 2A that they could lose their next elections.
