Please Stand-Up and Make Your Voices Heard!
Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4, the Senate Finance Committee will be hearing Senate Bill 1166.
Sponsored by State Senator John Watkins (R-10), this bill would increase the gun tax charged by the Virginia State Police to run the mandatory background check from $2 to $5, a 150% increase for Virginia residents. For non-state residents, the legislation mandates an increase of 60%, from $5 to $8.
Please contact the members of the Senate Finance Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to oppose a tax increase on the Second Amendment rights of Virginia’s law-abiding gun owners. Contact information can be found below.
