VA State Police Try to Calm Fears of Far-Left Governor Ordering Door-to-Door Gun Confiscation

On Thursday the Virginia State Police (VSP) used an X post to try to calm fears that Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s gun control push will result in state police going door-to-door to confiscate firearms.

Fears of door-to-door confiscation of banned guns arose, and the VSP’s X post appears to be an attempt to quell anxiety. (Read more from “VA State Police Try to Calm Fears of Far-Left Governor Ordering Door-to-Door Gun Confiscation” HERE)
