They want to do it in every other state too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rationing Rights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Virginia Democratic Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are more focused on enabling special interest gun control than listening to their constituents. There\u2019s no other logical explanation for their latest gun control scheme to ration the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Nearly every county and several cities passed Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions during the commonwealth\u2019s gun control takeover. Virginians purchased firearms in record numbers last year, just like the rest of the nation. There were 823,513 background checks for the sale of a gun in Virginia in 2020, up from 512, 766 in 2019. So far, Virginia\u2019s tallied 198,111 background checks for gun sales in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sens. Kaine and Warner can\u2019t be bothered with facts and figures.

If they had, they would recognize Americans have voted for the Second Amendment with their wallets overwhelmingly during the past year and rejected the rationing of their rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sens. Warner and Kaine reintroduced their legislation this year because the duo tried once before to pass the rights-rationing bill in the previous Congress. It failed to gain traction then and will likely go nowhere this time. President Joe Biden is now in the White House, but the U.S. Senate is deadlocked 50-50 and gun control proposals aren\u2019t gaining traction.
