Virginia Legislative UpdateYesterday, Governor Mark Warner (D) signed SB 593, which prevents local governments from subverting your state's firearms preemption law by enacting their own gun-control regulations. In recent years, Alexandria and other local governments have enacted their own firearm regulations to restrict purchase and use. With help from anti-gun judges, these local regulations are very difficult to combat. SB 593 puts an end to these back-door anti-gun schemes and restores the integrity of Virginia's firearms preemption statute. In a statement to the Washington Post on April 5, 2002, Governor Warner said he opposed Virginia localities using administrative mechanisms that are inconsistent with legislative intent. Please contact your lawmakers and thank them if they voted in favor of SB 593. Also, please take a moment to call (804) 786-0000 and thank Governor Warner for signing this bill into law. Your lawmakers and the Governor can also be contacted via e-mail by using the "Write your Reps" feature. Posted: 4/5/2002 2:46:30 PM http://www.nraila.org/LegislativeUpdate.asp?FormMode=Detail&ID=330
Ohio Legislative UpdateThe NRA Youth Education Summit (Y.E.S.) Program, created in 1993, is designed to encourage America's youth to become active and knowledgeable citizens on both the national and local levels. The Y.E.S. Program- funded by The NRA Foundation with contributions raised through "Friends of NRA"-originated as a national program, bringing qualified students to Washington, D.C., to learn about the significance of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, while developing an understanding of the government and the importance of actively participating in it. Y.E.S. is now expanding to the state-level. The Ohio State Y.E.S. Program is looking for outstanding high school students to take part in a four-day, all-expense- paid educational experience in Columbus. The students who take part in this event will be selected from qualified applicants from across the Buckeye State who have finished either their sophomore or junior years in high school, are politically motivated, and possess a desire to learn more about how their state government operates. Potential Y.E.S. Program participants are also required to complete an extensive application, which includes the submission of school transcripts, a five-page essay about the Second Amendment, and three personal recommendations. The deadline for applications is April 22. For more information on the Ohio Y.E.S. Program, including to request an application packet, please contact Special Projects Manager Britt Ford at (703) 267-1369. http://www.nraila.org/LegislativeUpdate.asp?FormMode=Detail&ID=329
