Spanberger Weaponizes Virginia’s Legal System Against Gun and Accessory Makers, Dealers

spanberger bill signing

Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed a series of gun control bills on Friday that include legislation regulating firearm manufacturers’ liability, ghost guns, and partners of individuals charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.

The legislation, approved by Virginia’s Democratic-controlled General Assembly, includes a bill that allows gun manufacturers and dealers to be held legally accountable for “negligent” business practices leading to gun violence, a move gun rights activists call dangerous.

The measure creates a legal pathway for victims to sue companies that fail to implement reasonable safeguards in the sale and distribution of firearms.

Philip Van Cleave, the president of Virginia Citizens Defense League, said the new law making manufacturers and dealers liable for gun violence creates a path for not only dealers, but also gun accessory sellers to be subject to lawsuits.

“This one basically allows frivolous lawsuits against anybody for doing anything with firearms,” Van Cleave said. “Doesn’t mean you’re a gun manufacturer. Doesn’t even mean you’re a gun dealer. You could be making holsters. You could be making a strap for a rifle.”

Van Cleave said the legislation only hurts business owners and has no real effect on public safety.

“They’re not really trying to make the public safe,” he said.

    DOJ Fires a Shot Across Virginia’s Bow.

    This is a quick description because we want to get this out to you. But Virginia beware, because DOJ is looking to pick a fight with you. Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a letter, sent today, from Asst. Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, to Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger which basically states that if she signs several Virginia gun bills into law, the lawsuits are dropping. This is a major preemptive move by the DOJ and yet another reason why Harmeet Dhillon is proving to be the most valuable attorney right now in that agency.

  3. All blue state governors and AGs should be treated as RICO, they have a pact against the legal law abiding citizens that own guns in their states.

  4. It’s only virtue signaling in the “gun community”.

    When you open carry or go hunting. And then don’t bother to go and vote. And same for the conceal carrier’s too.

    And it seems there were tens of thousands of open carry, “virtue signaling” gun owners. At the Richmond capital just a few years ago.
