Warren County Commonwealth’s Attorney John S. Bell says his office will not prosecute certain cases tied to newly enacted Virginia firearms laws, citing constitutional concerns and the county’s prior stance as a Second Amendment Sanctuary.

In a memorandum dated May 26, Bell announced a non-enforcement policy for several firearms measures passed during the 2026 session of the Virginia General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

“The right to keep and bear arms is not a privilege granted by government,” Bell wrote. “It is a fundamental right endowed by our Creator and enshrined in both the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Virginia.”

The announcement places Warren County in direct opposition to portions of the state’s new firearms policy, while leaving room for continued prosecution of gun-related violence and illegal weapons cases.

That's my county. Bell joined a growing list of Virginia prosecutors that are not having any of Spanberger's and the dem's overreach.

If that’s the case then Gov. Spanberger should pull a DeSantis. When a prosecutor in Florida refused to follow a law related to abortion, he fired her. Spanberger should terminate his ass. The law is the law. He can’t pick and choose. What is she waiting for?
