So - this will stop "drug dealers, criminals with misdemeanors in violence" and the like? HOW? I am not aware of any drug dealers that purposely follow the law and get themselves a conceal-permit and undergo the background checks.

AND how are the states failing the audit?? Thanks to this action, I'm not having to spend hundreds of dollars to apply for the states I'm impacted in that I travel to frequently. Florida being one of those, their application asks the very same questions Virginia does, requires background check/fingerprinting, requires proof of compentency with firearm, etc.  So where is the failure in the audit for Florida?

Something smells here and smells like New York and Bloomberg. This has nothing to do with what the AG is stating to the media - in a galliant effort to protect Virginians. My tax dollars to the state has just been utilized to further strip MY RIGHT away from me and restrict the populace.

I am fed up with these politicians who constantly betray their oaths to their constituents and their constitution.

The lies and deceit must stop.

I did not risk my life serving my country only to be shackled with a politician's deceitful move to gain better footing towards his future career goals.

ENOUGH.
