Each of these bills are unnecessary attempts to create further restrictions on your Second Amendment rights and will do nothing to prevent violent crime in New Hampshire.  Committee members need to hear from you now.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION West Virginia: Carry Permit Fee Reduction At Risk House Bill 4955 to reduce the application fee for a License to Carry Deadly Weapons (LCDW) is currently before the Senate Finance Committee for consideration. Unfortunately, a number of sheriffs have lobbied against reducing the fee because they want to maintain their revenue stream from selling rights back to citizens. This is despite the sheriffs testifying in 2016 during the fight for constitutional carry that they would give away the permits for free if they could.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION NEWS  Attention Virginians! The Fight Against Bloomberg-Backed Gun Control isn't Over! Freedom-loving Virginians are breathing a well-deserved sigh of relief. On Monday, February 17, four Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee joined their Republican colleagues to vote down HB 961. The legislation, backed by disgraced Governor Ralph Northam and his Michael Bloomberg-bought allies in the House of Delegates, would have banned a wide array of commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and magazines, making criminals out of otherwise law-abiding individuals merely for retaining possession of their own property.   NEWS  American Bar Association Expands Promotion of Gun Control The American Bar Association (ABA) has long supported restrictions on the rights of gun owners. While it has defended the due process rights of some very unpopular groups, including, enemy combatants, terror suspects, and convicts on death row, in 2017 the ABA decided that gun owners should not be afforded similar due process protections.
