Sweeping VA gun ban, likely confiscation without grandfather clause, proposed by state legislature
AMN ^ | 11/26/19 | Ryan Morgan

Posted on 11/27/2019 11:12:58 AM PST by Roman_War_Criminal

Virginia lawmakers are now considering a state law banning the ownership of certain semi-automatic guns deemed “assault firearms” and limiting the magazine capacity of other firearms in the state — and there are no clauses that would allow existing owners to continue possessing them.

Virginia state Sen. Richard Saslaw introduced SB16, which would expand the definition of an “assault firearm” to cover many different semi-automatic rifles and pistols. The bill would call for the ban of such firearms, barring people from purchasing, possessing, selling or transferring those weapons.

Among the changes in firearm definitions, the bill would expand the term “assault firearm” to include semi-automatic centerfire rifles and pistols with a fixed magazine capacity greater than 10 rounds. The bill would also ban semi-automatic rifles and pistols with detachable magazines that also have folding and telescoping stocks, barrel shrouds, and thumbhole grips and second hand grips.

Rifles, under the new bill, would not be allowed pistol grips, bayonet mounts, grenade or flare launchers, silencers, muzzle breaks and flash suppressors.

It’s the DC bubble that made this possible, not really average Virginians who were born there and grew up there.

Trump will bring martial law to VA and incarcerate these pricks.

I wish he would, but I doubt it. Trump deflected Rep Scalise’s maneuvers to pass National Reciprocity, and Trump has not ordered the arrests of “Sanctuary” politicians who have blatantly defied Federal immigration laws.

Virginia is sharply divided Blue/Red. The Dems have been captured by NE progressives and ethnic/multicural rights race racketeers. The GOP is pretty weak and run by Bush bot Rinos so it is indifferent on this issue and basically doesn’t like in core constituency. This set’s up a situation where real ‘people’s resistance’ can occur. The mostly white people of rural and mountainous Virginia are culturally as far from the Dem progs and RINOs as possible. They are also well armed and will resist if the state starts no knock searches and use of VA ARNG from the ‘other Virginia’.

Nope. Tried already by NY State and Konnecticut

Correct. The court refuses to hear the cases.

Soon as the pieces are falling into place. Proof of subversion and the coup attempt must be dealt with first. Soros is part of that and also heavily funded VA Dems. Once you piece this together it becomes elementary.

Dear Virginia:

That’s the day you have them for.

Shoot back.

Good hunting.

“Attention Virginia: elections have consequences. May your chains rest lightly on you.”

You guys need to stop these comments blaming the good folks for being overwhelmed by DC tapeworms and third world shitheads. This has been a plan of the left all along and you’re seeing the end result. ‘You voted for it’, right.

I am with you brother/sister. I just don’t think anything is going to be done. The coup plotters will mostly skate. Obama and Hillary will never be held accountable. And no one in the courts will rule in favor of the 2nd Amendment.

It’s the same for millions of Conservatives that live in upstate NY, California, New Jersey, and elsewhere. A bunch of Freepers laugh and say these patriots somehow “deserved it” - but they don’t think that their rights in their XX state will ever be at risk. Happens every single day on this forum.

Well citizens of Virginia, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

I'm afraid they already had their say - when they voted this bunch into control of their state government.
