Virginia Senate votes in favor of 'red flag law' bill

Virginia's state senate has passed a bill that would allow law enforcement officers to confiscate guns from or prevent the purchase of firearms by people deemed to be threats to themselves or others, just days after a massive gun rights rally swarmed the state capitol.

The bill passed the chamber in a narrow 21-19 vote and will next move to the state Housem of Delegates.

Jake Rubenstein, a spokesman for Virginia House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn, told CNN the House would "deliver" on a demand from voters for gun control measures.

"Virginians spoke loud and clear on Election Day demanding common sense gun violence protections, and make no mistake, we will deliver on that mandate," Jake Rubenstein said.

The President just repealed a drinking water regulation that now allows industry and farms to dump pollutants, pesticides and excess fertilizer into waterways without permits being reviewed. Since you live on a watershed out there I figured your readers may want to know about it. Bombshell report from yesterday also found that most of Americas waters were contaminated with chemicals found in flame retardants.

Something tells me they may be headed for more gun violence than they could have ever imagined.Push people hard enough and they'll reach a breaking point.

Take care of the problem;which is not a gun

9:50- They aren't "drinking water regulations." No where is it called that, except among you idiots and the spin of your leftist news outlets. What he did was revert power back to the individual states to determine regulations. Here's a something that is obvious. When you lefts use the word "Bombshell," it is a big nothing burger.

In addition, your TDS is so severe, you posted on a thread that has nothing to do with Trump. You just can't help yourself to be a massive tool, and to try your best to make Trump supporters look like idiots. The thing is, you fail every time. Either by omitting facts or just plain lie. It does not permit any one to dump anything, idiot. It means the state dictates how it protects its own water ways. Either learn to read or stop being a LIAR!

Red Flag laws are bogus. The government takes your guns based on the threat THEY see. When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

The problem may not be the gun , but a mentally unstable person WITH a gun IS. Can you not see that ?

Who determines who is a mentally unstable person? I think Dems are mentally unstable. Therefore they shouldn't have a gun, right? Can you not see the problem when you start infringing on protective rights?

You can be determined a threat should you voice your displeasure regarding Government take over.

This is the back door way to disarm us all before they take over , and send us to re education camps

that Bernie Sandars and Obama speak of

Nothing at all wrong with that in some cases, but you know damn well it will be abused in the pursuit of their agenda.

Okay if politicians have Security personnel with GUNS. Not citizens. The new law can be very dangerous in that situations can be exaggerated to allow authorities to confiscate a person's gun.

Water is a flame retardant, thanks for the tip 9:50

@9:50- Damn, dude. You just got owned! 1:22-I am sure you are also aware of the thousands of jobs this Obama created government oversight has subverted, or better worded, destroyed, and how this will also hopefully rectify that, and revitalize hundreds of towns that were, or nearly destroyed by Obama's mandate; that the federal government knows more than your local municipality. 9:50 is stupid, a democrat, a politician, or all three. If most drinking water has flame retardant chemicals, and Trump just reversed Obama's mandate, then what did Obama accomplish? They pretend to be "woke", so it is easy to spot and disprove. That's why they can't come back with facts or proof. Here, they will just show up again tomorrow. In person, they look like Adam Schiff.
