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.

Amendment XVIII might have justified registering machine guns(if the federal legislation had passed in time), but it has been repealed.

That’s right and all of these commie bastards are Soros funded and have been part of a coup. Trump will bring martial law to VA and incarcerate these pricks.

This will be a model for other states PARTICULARLY if they can do it without violence or a lot of other trouble.

Exactly. A change in legislature and governor and the entire state apparatus (police, even National Guard) is now focused on confiscation.

I think it is interesting how counties and cities in Virginia are declaring themselves to be 2nd Amendment "Sanctuary Cities." That's the sort of "other trouble" that may head off violence . . . but I wouldn't count in it. The real issue is whether the state police will go into those 'sanctuary cities', and whether the police chiefs/officers will put their career on the line to stand up for 2nd Amendment rights.

The leftists would not want the next civil war to start in Virginia, it’s too close to the national capital and might end in only a few days.

Elections have consequences. As Virginia state government lurches to the extreme left, most of the citizens of the Commonwealth outside the DC area and Richmond will likely be faced with the power of government trying to take away their rights. How will they react??? This could be a test tube for the whole country.

There is no model for other states to follow because this lunacy is about to come to a nasty, swift end.

So the political party that bends over backwards to defend the rights of criminals is also bending over backwards to penalize the law abiding citizens of Virginia. The colonists had less reason to revolt than this........
