A Virginia lawmaker who previously warned of “coming Civil War” in America is proposing a law that would make it a felony to pass gun laws.

Virginia delegate Marie March made national headlines in 2021, when she was among a crop of candidates who won election despite attending a Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally in D.C. that preceded the attack on the U.S. Capitol. March has not been charged with a crime and says she left the rally before the attack. Now she’s running a tense reelection campaign against an opponent she’s accused of assaulting her (which he denies) and being weak on gun laws. And to distinguish herself from rivals Virginia Republicans, she’s proposed a baffling new gun policy.

In a Wednesday email, first reported by Virginia political journalist Brandon Jarvis, March solicited funds from supporters who “oppose Joe Biden and his anti-gun schemes.”
