VA Executive Order 50
 

I fully support Executive Order 50, which bans firearms in executive branch agency offices. I want the ban to become permanent and support expansion of the ban to include campuses, all public buildings, and public spaces. I read hundreds of the public comments opposed to the ban and I don't get it. I'm much more concerned about some local hothead with a concealed weapon than I would ever be of the nearly non-existent threat of "ISIS on the street," as I read in a few comments. A civil society is not promoted by armed civilians. I would like to live in a civil society.
