We Are in a Real Fight for our Rights
David Adams,
VSSA Legislative Director
If you watched the anti-gun demonstrations last weekend you may have noticed similarities with the "Womens March" and other recent demonstrations. That is because they are related. What we are seeing is a framework which has been in place for some time, just waiting for the right moment. It is staffed by organizers and professional agitators designed to organize people to protests. Professional agitators are in the background but they are the muscle. It’s obvious to anyone willing to look that these teens don’t have the resources and skills to coordinate a nationwide movement. Instead it’s the experienced activists who are actually running things. This is all funded by millionaires and billionaires with a political agenda that is designed to fractionalize and divide this nation by tearing away at our traditions, core beliefs and attack the Constitution of the United States. We are facing radical progressives; they are vicious and are capable of anything. Their target is you, the individual gun owner, and the Second Amendment.
All firearm owners need to stick together. We cannot allow them t divide gun owners because some are hunters, some are competitive shooters and some are plinkers. We are all gun owners. We must stand together. There are some gun owners who think “they will never take my gun.” The signs the protestors carried betray their true intentions. Signs like “Yes, we are here to take your guns” and “Ok, we will pry it from your cold dead hands.” There is no special exception for target shooters, hunters, collectors, those interested in self-defense, or anyone else - no exceptions.
On Tuesday, March 27, 2018, the New York Times carried an op-ed written by Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. This is another sure sign of where the American Leftists want to go. Stevens has pulled the mask off of the American Left and we can now see clearly what and who they are and where they want to go.
We thank you for your membership. Please urge every gun owner you know to join VSSA. We need as many people as possible engaged in this fight.

Citibank Handcuffs Retailers on Gun Sales
America's First Freedom
Citibank, part of one of the nation’s 10 largest banks, has jumped on the #boycottnra bandwagon by unilaterally deciding it won’t do business with retailers that don’t arbitrarily stop selling “high-capacity” magazines or requiring that rifle-buying adults be 21. READ MORE
Hardware: Bergara B-14 HMR
American Hunter
One day the powers that be at Bergara looked around, realized that a whole bunch of big-name rifle manufacturers were using the barrels produced at their factory, and decided to join the club. Bergara the barrel maker soon became Bergara the barrel and rifle maker. Less than a decade later the company now builds 19 bolt guns on two actions and is better known for these than its barrels.

You Can Try to Repeal the Second Amendment, but You Can’t Repeal History
National Review
This week, retired Supreme Court justice John Paul Stevens wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that advocated a position most liberal pundits and activists have been incrementally working toward for a long time: repealing the Second Amendment. And while many liberal columnists argued that Stevens had only given fodder to gun advocates — because his position is unfeasible right now — not one whose piece I read argued that Stevens was wrong on the merits. Not one claimed that American citizens do, in fact, have an inherent individual right to protect themselves with firearms. READ MORE

"All we've ever asked for is a little bit of intellectual honesty in this debate and we surprisingly got a little bit out of Justice Stevens. We knew all along that he was an anti-Second Amendment and anti-individual freedom justice, so that wasn't really a surprise. What was a surprise was the collective yawn of the national news media." —NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox
