Thanks to Del. Geary Higgins for calling out these bills put forth by Democrat law makers in this session.
The Democrat Majority passed a myriad of bills on party-line votes that would: make it harder to do business in Virginia, raise our taxes, dramatically increase our cost of living, further embolden criminals, endanger victims, and legalize recreational drug use. Here are just a few:
- HB 1 – Drastically raises the minimum wage, which will only further increase inflation, cost jobs and decrease purchasing power
- HB 2 – Bans all legal ownership of so-called “assault weapons”, something that no one has successfully defined and can be interpreted to encompass nearly all firearms made since 1898
- HB 77 – Lessens penalties for robbery
- HB 110 – Repeals the prohibition on surrogacy brokers
- HB 183 – Further criminalizes law-abiding gun owners regarding gun storage
- HB 455 – Allows the reduction of possession of almost any drug under a gram to a misdemeanor (House Democrats tried to include fentanyl but thankfully the Senate pulled it out)
- HB 776 – Allows for non-citizens to be police officers
- HB 1174 – Increases the purchase age requirement for nearly all firearms to 21, effectively removing Second Amendment rights of all 18-20-year-olds.
- HJ 1 – Constitutional Amendment on Abortion, eliminating any ground for compromise that protects life and respects women (Governor Cannot Veto)
