VCDL Sues Gun-Ban Group...

Recommended Posts

It's always nice to see what our 2A brethren in other states are doing on the legal front... I found this story to be an interesting development from our feisty Virginia friends (and I don't recall seeing it posted elsewhere). I'm posting this in a public thread to ensure the most eyes/discussion. Please be mindful of the rules though... no political diatribes, yada yada yada!

The Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) made the rather bold move (or was it just stupid?) of calling the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) a "domestic terrorist organization" in an official press release. Hmmm... I take it the CSGV doesn't put their press releases through, ya know, legal review? :facepalm: VCDL is now suing the group for libel... so this should be interesting to watch. I applaud the effort frankly. Gun owners and 2A groups need to push back with full force of law on some of these more outrageous - and yes libelous - claims made by gun control groups. Good for the VCDL!

I understand malice can be tricky when public figures are the target, but if they can prove actual malice, they could potentially recover monetary damages.

Would be funny if CSGV was forced to make $100,000 donation to the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
