Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas, the Democratic leader behind the state’s redistricting effort, was arrested Thursday in connection with an alleged bribery and racketeering scheme.

In a 45-page indictment filed in the Eastern District of Virginia, Lucas and six co-defendants were charged with conspiring to distribute and possess marijuana, conspiring to launder money, laundering money, and committing bribery by distributing large quantities of illegal marijuana under the auspices of her legal medical cannabis business.

Lucas, an 82-year-old great-grandmother, has served in the Virginia Senate since 1992. She faces five of the eight charges included in the indictment. These charges arrive five months after the FBI raided Lucas’s office in Portsmouth, Virginia, and the neighboring cannabis dispensary she co-owns.

More fascist BS.

So… yes…

BUT

The only people training at USPSA, 3-Gun, NRL, PRS, and ELR matches I go to are conservatives.

So maybe he left should actually take interest in the skills needed to defend their way of life. Until then, owning the gun is as useful as owning a plant.

    NGL. I'm expecting most conservatives to be dead after a few weeks of us not reminding them not to drink bleach or using ivermectin to cure literally anything except parasitic infections.

    Yeah, we're trying to vote blue primarily to stop the red menace, but let's not kid ourselves that the Democrats have also been the party of rampant misinformation and scare-mongering with regards to firearms.

    "Ban awh gunz becaws dey lewk skawwy! :(" this entire time, instead of efforts toward improving responsibility and safety through education and mental health support. That cultural paradigm is biting us hard.

    So now a large number of "good liberals" are hoplophobes who are primarily a danger to themselves. (Plenty might be responsible owners, they're just humble and not loud about it.)

    This needs to change because the right to self defense from violent extremist regimes is not a "partisan issue."

    Funny how even the gross-old-pedos have attacked 2A rights now, but of course both factions will gladly surround themselves with goons wielding short suppressed SMGs with 30+ rd magazines.

    I take no issue with pacifists though. That's a choice and an honorable one. But something profound I've heard before is:

    "If you do no harm because you are incapable of it, you're not a pacifist, you're simply harmless."

    Not all of them, but yes, most. However, I know that there are quite a few ELR shooters as well as other enthusiast who don’t participate in matches.

    There used to be a John Brown gun club and there are certainly are people who are capable and willing to teach. If I had the time and resources I would love to start a two gun or rifle match that leans into the anti-fascist theme. Even .22 matches are growing in popularity and can be easier to get into.
