Is Virginia on the path to safer communities… or is this government overreach?

Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we’re diving headfirst into one of the most heated debates in the Commonwealth right now — the proposed Assault Weapons Ban in Virginia.

With Governor Abigail Spanberger stepping into the spotlight and gun advocates pushing back hard, the question is simple—but the answer is anything but:

Is this about SAFETY… or CONTROL?

We break down:

What the proposed assault weapons ban actually includes

Why gun rights advocates say this goes too far

The political motivations behind the push

How this could impact law-abiding gun owners in Virginia

And what this means heading into upcoming elections

This isn’t just policy — this is about your rights, your safety, and the future of Virginia.

Can a doctor bring a new perspective to Washington?

On this episode of The Arrington Gavin Show, Arrington sits down with Dr. Nila Devanath, a physician, Harvard-trained lawyer, and Democratic candidate running for Congress in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.

Dr. Devanath has spent her career on the frontlines of healthcare — treating patients, caring for veterans and families, and seeing firsthand how policy decisions in Washington impact everyday people. Now she’s taking that experience from the ER to the campaign trail.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why she decided to run for Congress

• The biggest healthcare challenges facing Hampton Roads

• The rising cost of living and economic pressures on families

• Veterans' healthcare and military family support in VA-02

• What she believes Washington is getting wrong

• How her background as a doctor AND lawyer shapes her approach to leadership

Arrington also asks the tough questions about politics, policy, and what voters in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and the Eastern Shore should expect from this race.
