Contact Fairfax County Supervisors Today to Stop Regional Council Support for Gun ControlYour county tax dollars are funding a regional group that is promoting gun control. Your action is needed to stop it.
On March 13, the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) adoptedResolution R13-13 by a 15-5 vote endorsing an anti-gun position paper from the notoriously anti-gun International Association of Chiefs of Police. MWCOG is a non- profit association of DC-area elected officials from 22 local jurisdictions in the District of Columbia, suburban Maryland and northern Virginia that deals with regional issues such as transportation.
This IACP position papercalls for banning pseudo “assault weapons,” criminalizing the private sale/transfer of firearms between individuals, opposing national concealed carry reciprocity, imposing national “waiting period” for handgun purchases as well as other gun control measures.The following day on March 14, the Loudoun County (Virginia) Board of Supervisors voted unanimously during its budget work session to withhold the county’s Fiscal Year 2014 $250,000 MWCOG membership dues payment unless the MWCOG Board reverses its action on the IACP gun ban resolution.
On March 18, the Board sent a letter to the MWCOG stating: “It is the position of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors that the policy resolution adopted by the MWCOG Board of Directors is both inappropriate and disrespectfulof the individual positions of the member governments and our law enforcement entities.”On March 20, the Frederick County (Maryland) Commission Chairman sent a very similar letter to the MWCOG saying that Frederick County would also withhold its 2014 MWGOC membership dues to the unless the MWCOG reconsiders its stance on the IACP gun ban resolution. The same day, the Fairfax City (Virginia) Mayor sent a letter to the MWCOG urging them to withdraw their gun control resolution.
Fairfax County was represented at the MWGOC meeting on March 13 by Board Chairman Sharon Bulova who voted for the IACP gun ban resolution and Mason Supervisor Penny Gross who votedagainst it. The next MWCOG meeting is scheduled for April 10 when its board can reconsider its position on the IACP gun ban resolution.Fairfax County spends hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars to be a member of the MWCOG.

Who in the fuck does MWGOC think they are? The IACP is a club
for large city politically appointed police chiefs and they're
all Democrats. Fuck'em all.

COG is nothing more than a waste of money which is why Fairfax belongs. It was created to get different jurisdictions on the same page in regards to traffic and matters of importance. It has turned into a lobby for the liberal agenda.

IACP is a joke. They do not speak for the rank and file cops. They are appointed to their jobs and their opinion reflects whatever jurisdiction they represent. If they want to keep their jobs they spout the opinion of wherever they are from unless they want to be fired.

I sent my email to the board of supervisors. I cannot belief they are trying to turn Fairfax County into a carbon copy of Maryland with all of their ridiculous unfounded anti-gun laws.

100 percent true. Theyre nothing more than political appointees. It would be better if they had to get elected like a Sheriff so they had protection from the Mayors, it may not change anything in some cities but youd actually get their honest opinion at least as opposed to just regurgitating talking points
