Will PWC Board Adopt A Stupid Idea?

I received this from the NRA-ILA just a few minutes ago.

Your help is needed immediately, Tuesday April 18!

Virginia Prince William County of Board of Supervisors is meeting at 2:45 p.m. today to consider banning the use of buckshot, commonly used in hunting.

Please immediately contact members of the Board of Supervisors below and

UPDATE: Well, the follower(s) who lack respect for their betters and have little to offer but hate campaigns have decided to attack again. I guess he/she/they don't understand the difference between "professional due diligence" owed by professionals and the need to take action when politicians are about to vote on something. Alas, the difference between the theory and practice of public policy, leavened with a little attack upon the guardians of the Second Amendment.

UPDATE 2: The measure passed, with Supervisors Stewart and Stirrup voting against. The Washington Examiner has a story on it, as does the Potomac News. It seems that, contrary to the bloviations (and gratuitous attacks) of some, it wasn't just an issue upon which a public hearing was scheduled, but rather, a substantive vote.
