Spanberger Just Signed Two Unconstitutional Gun Bills—Here's What's In Them

Abigail Spanberger picked up her pen Wednesday and signed two unconstitutional attacks on Virginia gun owners directly into law — and the clock is now ticking.

HB1525 and the paired SB727/HB1524 are now law in the Commonwealth as of April 23rd. The NRA-ILA flagged both bills as flatly unconstitutional — and they're not wrong. Virginia Democrats pushed these through a blue-controlled legislature and Spanberger rubber-stamped them without blinking. This is what happens when gun owners lose a governor's race.

Spanberger has been on a collision course with the Second Amendment since she took office, and this is the most aggressive move yet. These aren't procedural tweaks or bureaucratic red tape — these are substantive restrictions on your rights as a Virginian, and the NRA-ILA is already treating them as a legal battleground. Expect a court challenge. The question is how much damage gets done to law-abiding gun owners before a judge steps in.

Here's the cold truth: bills like HB1525 and SB727/HB1524 don't stop criminal violence. Criminals don't comply with new gun laws — they never do. What these bills do is create new ways for the state of Virginia to prosecute, penalize, and disarm the people who were already following the rules. That's not public safety. That's political targeting dressed up in safety language.

Virginia gun owners, this is your wake-up call. The NRA-ILA is watching. The courts are next. But the fight starts with you knowing exactly what Spanberger just signed — and making sure every gun owner in your county knows it too.
