Got Democrats?
And the gun owners in VA just sit on their asses. Hey! Maybe voting will help! Lol
A semi-automatic centerfire rifle with a fixed magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds, or with a detachable magazine that has one of the following characteristics:
(i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle; (iii) a thumbhole stock; (iv) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (v) a bayonet mount; (vi) a grenade launcher; (vii) a flare launcher; (viii) a silencer; (ix) a flash suppressor; (x) a muzzle brake; (xi) a muzzle compensator; (xii) a threaded barrel
or (xiii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (xii);

The way I read this, the Ruger Mini 30 and Mini 14 are still OK.
Corrected: Try to Ban Most Guns in the hands of Non-Violent Honest Citizens.
There is a rally planned. Our handiman says every redneck in VA is going to be there. It is still open carry in VA.
Any time the Democrats talk about banning “assault weapons”, they mean all semiautomatic weapons...rifles and pistols.
I was thinking the same thing. Provided it doesn’t have a muzzle brake/flash suppressor, or more than a 10 round mag.
Hey! Maybe mini 14 mags will finally become afordable
Sure, open carry is. Patriotism, on the other hand, is sorely lacking.
I see the NRA finally got back from their vacation. Meanwhile, the VCDL has been creating 2nd amendment sanctuary counties all over the western side of the state and planning massive rallies. Also, I am not sure the writer has really read the bill, the bill says center-fire rifles with detachable magazines.
For now.
Democrats have a strong incentive, in the form of millions in dark money, to implement new gun control laws. CNBC reported that Everytown for Gun Safety a gun control-advocacy group largely bankrolled by billionaire Michael Bloomberg "spent $2.5 million this year to influence voters in Virginia versus approximately $300,000 by the NRA, which has its headquarters in Fairfax, Virginia."
Of course the mainstream media has the masses believing the big bad NRA is throwing around billions of dollars, when the reality is they don't really spend that much, especially compared to the side with multiple billionaires (Michael Bloomberg, Edward Stack, etc.) in its corner.
Seems like the Virginians are in permanent free-fall
OMG the horrid bayonet mount! Quick! How many people in the USA have been killed with a fixed bayonet since 1900!
Must be an epidemic of them!
We’ve come a long way from the 1960s through the 1980s when the cry was “WE Only want to register all guns, and ban handguns! Rifles will not be affected!”
“Rifles will not be affected!”
“Rifles will not be affected!”
“Rifles will be affected!”
I look forward to seeing how the liberals on the Supreme Court attempt to justify banning a rifle simply because it has a bayonet mount.
No it’s the semi auto versions of the CZ Scorpion, H&K MP5, Micro Dracos, etc. that they want to ban.
The NRA needs its ace legal team on this and planning for what court actions they can take when this or a dozen other anti-gun bills that have been prefiled are rammed through by the Democrat majority early next year. The Dems intend to cripple conservatives and turn Virginia into a version of New York or California. It looks like that only court action might slow them down because they will have total control of the state government.
