McDonnell was in favor of some form of Sunday hunting as was Cuccinelli. McAuliffe thinks the "status quo" is fine with him. He is more concerned with passing "Colorado" style gun control(his words, not mine) than he is Sunday hunting.

With these people in charge, I'm afraid Sunday hunting will be the least of our worries in a few years.

Edited to add: The VCDL has what they call a "legislative tracking tool." They track proposed bills and categorize them as to whether they oppose them, strongly oppose, are neutral, support, or strongly support. I remember a sunday hunting bill from a couple years back being listed as neutral.

Single issue politics is how we have gotten to where we are today. We MUST stand united as a party REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE. We must stand united. I know it stinks. But look what we face for opposition. The Dems stand as ONE. For every vote. Regardless of the consequences.

Hunters need to be aware of this.. We are one if not the largest stockholder in gunright in the state.
We all need to contact our Senator/Delegate before these bills hit the VaGA and voice our opinion.
The Daily Progress summarized their proposals:...
The group recommended a special warrant that would allow police to remove firearms from the possession of people authorities believe to be a danger to themselves or others. Additionally, the consortium proposed a new civil restraining order process could allow citizens to petition the court for the temporary removal of firearms from friends or family members who are considered at that time to be dangerous, according to the report.
Other high-risk populations targeted by the consortium's recommendations include people with histories of substance abuse and domestic violence.
Another recommendation temporary bars anyone convicted of a violent misdemeanor; a temporary domestic violence restraining order placed on them; or multiple DUI, DWI or controlled substance convictions in the past five years from purchasing or possessing firearms.
“We are looking not just at mental illness, but at elevated risk,” Horwitz said. “We also need to look at meaningful prohibitions for people who are at increased risk for other reasons.”
So who gets to decide the people at an "elevated risk"? You guessed it - the gun ban lobby. VSSA will be paying special attention to mental health bills. It will be a busy session again this year.

Alex G....the above post doesn't seem extreme to you...but saying that they will take your muzzleloader is extreme ....

yes because muzzleloaders and archery equipment were never mentioned in the OP so you including them with no proof.. that IS extreme...
And since mzldr & archery equipment doesnt fall under any state or federal registery/permit/background check system. How will they get them when they dont know you have them in the first place?

And I posted the original post because it IS extreme, I never said it wasnt.

Good to know. They appear to be neutral to Sunday hunting. I will continue to be neutral to their organization.

I follow their legislative tracking tool each year to keep informed of possible anti 2nd amendment bills. If and when a Sunday hunting bill is introduced, I will be sure to pay attention to their stance.

Here is a link to the tracking tool for 2014:

Alex I agree that post is extreme ....

Have you ever bought a muzzleloader or a bow permit....????
That's one way they will know if you have them....
Ever post on a hunting site about hunting with a muzzleloader or bow...???
That's another way they will know....
Ever send a text message to someone about muzzleloader or bow hunting....????
That's just another way they will know.....
Remember your living under a tyrannical government and if they want to find out anything about you and what you do there's nothing to stop them...
