Boeing Bails on Anti-Gun Virginia — And Gun Owners Should Be Paying Attention

Virginia Gun Bills Surge as Boeing Exits
Elections have consequences. Sometimes those consequences show up fast — like when one of the nation’s largest defense contractors decides it’s seen enough and heads for the exits barely a month after the new governor takes office.
That’s exactly what happened in Virginia this week. Boeing announced it’s yanking its Defense, Space & Security headquarters out of Arlington and heading back to St. Louis — the same division it moved to Virginia in 2022 when business-friendly Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin was making the Commonwealth an attractive place to build things that go boom in defense of this country. Youngkin’s gone now. Abigail Spanberger is in charge. Boeing didn’t need to wait for a second term to read the room.
And here’s the part that should have every Virginia gun owner sitting up straight: the same agenda that sent Boeing packing is the same one coming for your AR, your standard-capacity magazines, and anything else Democrats have decided you don’t need.
