In Episode 66 of District of Conservation, Gabriella briefed listeners on her observations from the annual Lobby Day held in Richmond, VA – Virginia’s state capital – this past Monday. She debunked misinformation, provided context, explained why much of the state is opposed to these gun control measures, why Second Amendment Sanctuary movement took the state by storm, how gun control policies will effect conservation funding here in Virginia since excise taxes from guns and ammo fund a large share of it, and more.
