Message Subject Everytown Slams NRA for ‘Outrageous’ 30-Round Mag Giveaway At Virginia Statehouse As Committee Advances 4 Gun-Control Bills

Everytown for Gun Safety is not happy with the National Rifle Association.

The Bloomberg-funded, gun-control organization bashed the nation’s gun lobby for giving away 1,000 MagPul 30-round magazines Monday at the Virginia statehouse.

The giveaway was in protest to a bevy of legislation Democrats hope to pass in the coming weeks and months that will restrict one’s right to keep and bear arms in Old Dominion.

“In an attempt to intimidate lawmakers and subvert the will of voters, the NRA gave away dangerous high-capacity magazines – similar to those used in the country’s deadliest mass shootings – to random civilians at the Virginia statehouse today,” said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

Moms Demand Action is an offshoot of Everytown. It, along with Mayors Against Illegal Guns, merged to form Everytown in 2013.

“The NRA’s outrageous behavior underscores precisely why its agenda has been rejected at the ballot box in Virginia and across the country,” Watts added.

While the mag giveaway was a stick in the eye of the gun prohibition lobby, anti-gun legislators in the Senate Judiciary Committee advanced four bills today.

If there’s good news to come out of Richmond, it’s that what is arguably the most controversial bill, Senate Bill 16, was withdrawn from consideration at the 11-hour, according to WHSV.

Sponsored by Sen. Richard Saslaw, SB 16 would expand the definition of so-called “assault weapons” and ban their possession as well as the selling or transfer of any ammunition feeding device capable of holding more than 10 rounds.
