The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL)
was founded in October 1994 as the Northern Virginia Citizens Defense League (NVCDL). The group experienced enormous growth
in membership statewide and was incorporated as VCDL in May of 1998. VCDL is a non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization dedicated to advancing the fundamental human right
of all Virginians to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article
I Section 13 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Iowa Gun Owners is Iowa’s only No Compromise gun rights organization. They were formed in January
of 2009 to combat Iowa’s abusive “may issue” permit system wherein the county sheriff had the arbitrary
power to decide who could carry a gun for self-defense and who could not.

Ballistic Fingerprinting - Larry Pratt's AJC article debunks the hype of balistic fingerprinting.
"A
well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution
"Those
who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas
Paine, The American Crisis, Chapter IV, Sept. 12, 1777. Whole Book.
"Guard
with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve
it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined." Patrick Henry,
3 Elliot, Debates at 45 (Virginia Convention, June
5, 1788).
"False is the idea of utility that
sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it
burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction.
"The laws that forbid the carrying of
arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes....Such laws
make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides,
for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Thomas
Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare
Beccaria in Chapter 40 of "On
Crimes and Punishment", 1764. Chapter.
Whole Book.

NRA - The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations.
In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such
as the March 1995 HCI "Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws." Many of these organizations were listed as "Campaign Partners,"
for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton "assault weapons" ban. All have officially
endorsed anti-gun positions. Interesting list of folks!
