MAGPUL / NRA Handing Out 30-Round Mags in VA to Fight Northam Gun Ban

[PickingPA]

The NRA will be handing out 1,000 30-round magazines in the Virginia Capitol City of Richmond Monday as part of the fight against Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D) gun grab.

The NRA used a Sunday night tweet to explain that Magpul Industries — a renowned magazine and firearm accessory maker — sent 1,000 magazines to the gun rights organization in order to have them given out to pro-Second Amendment Virginians on Monday.

Monday is January 13, the day on which the NRA has asked its members to flood into Virginia Senate meetings and ensure that pro-Second Amendment voices drown out those calling for gun control.

Democrats in the Virginia legislature have already put forward a number of bills, one of which is Delegate Mark Levine’s (D) HB 961.

Levine’s bill bans “assault weapons,” “high-capacity” magazines, certain triggers, and suppressors, among other things. The bill puts forward a means by which “assault weapon” owners can apply for a license to retain their gun, but the trade-off is that their names are entered into a database.

Owners of “high-capacity” magazines, certain triggers, and suppressors, will have a grace period to get rid of the accessories/devices, after which they will face felony charges for possessing them.

Only $10,000 worth of magazines and they will be gone in 30 minutes. Virginia is the NRA's home base. Sorry to sound negative, but this seems very underwhelming.

This effort makes the NRA look like a bunch of Pikers. They need to bring their A-game to this fight.

They're playing catch up.

Besides, it's 1000 magazines, not $1000.

For better or worse, we are going to find out soon enough.

Nothing has been signed into law yet IIRC and I think there is a 1 year grace period written in.

The NRA has intentionally done their best to keep themselves separated from the VCDL and lobby day, including running their own rally for members days before the big one. They ran some billboard adds with the new timeline for gun control to be passed starting on the 8th and are doing this with Magpul and that's about it.

Either way if anything goes wrong they along with racist white people will be blamed.

It should be noted, the PMAGS were donated to the cause by Magpul. NRA is simply distributing them today during their planned event at the Capitol building
