House Republicans are conspiring to force a vote on a deadly, gun lobby-backed bill that would override state gun laws—making it easier for people with no safety training to carry hidden, loaded guns in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

It's been three years since this tragedy on Grounds, and three years in a row that the delegates from the Gun Lobby and Gov. Gun Lobby defeated bills to prohibit firearms in campus buildings, which can be a violation of college policy but isn't illegal in Virginia.

It’s been three years since a student armed with a Glock pistol and a high-capacity magazine opened fire inside a bus full of University of Virginia students returning from a class trip. In minutes, three students were shot and killed and two others were wounded.

My parents were federal employees and today I'm a state employee. Shutdowns uniquely hurt Virginia's economy and families. Attacks on the federal workforce are an attack on working Americans who make our government function.
Government shutdowns disproportionately hurt Virginians — regardless of party affiliation.

The law would force all states to recognize concealed carry permissions from anywhere else in the country, and would be highly dangerous for civilians and law enforcement.
