Police clear committee room after uproar following 12-9 vote for bill targeting assault weapons, high capacity magazines
Roanoke News ^ | 2-7-20 | Amy Friedenberger

House Democrats used their majority Friday to advance the most controversial gun control bill this General Assembly session, a ban on the sale of assault weapons and the possession of "high capacity" magazines of 12 or more rounds.

The House Public Safety Committee backed House Bill 961 on a 12-9 party-line vote, sending it to the floor of the House of Delegates. The bill would, among other things, require Virginians to turn over or destroy ammunition magazines considered to be “high capacity” and allow the possession of centerfire assault rifles but prohibit the transfer of sale of them in most situations.

They don’t care. They hate conservatives.

Look at New England, NY, NJ, CO, CA. Very, very high rate of noncompliance.

They try to keep it under their hats but...

Once again, Virginia gets the government they elected.

Sad, but true. Perhaps, those dozens of western counties should get serious about the invite from West Virginia...

I bet the gun shops along the West Virginia state line are stocking up on hi-cap magazines to sell to Virginians.

Remember the break in California’s magazine ban and the state was flooded with large cap magazines? I liked their printed cartons sent to Cali. Perhaps the stores in West Virginia can also load up. Looks like PMAG was giving California the “finger”. Now it is Virginia’s turn.

As youths, they were unfairly targeted by their
younger cousin who had a super soaker, and all
they had was a tiny water pistol. The emotional
trauma lives with them to this day.

I assume you're referring to 30 round mags. They're only called "high capacity" magazines by the anti-gun left.

In the real world, those are known as 'standard capacity' magazines.

ptsal,

There is no reason to be shy as to where you hang your hat.

Let’s see how many brand new “felons” they try to prosecute and see how it plays out...seems like several other places tried to force registration/turn in under penalty of law and it bombed big time.

When they have killed your [and mine] asses. When they are able to make soap or fertilizer out of our corpses.

But with the current popularity of tattoos there'll be some really awesome lampshades.

Amen to that! There will be a lot of fighting over who gets what.

My posts over that last 20 years have revealed that topic.
My hat (the red one) is firmly placed on my balding head and is emblazoned with Trump 2020 logo.

Why do you ask?

SW Virginia was on our list of places to consider for retirement, but the mess in Charlottesville and the loons at legislature have certainly curtailed my level of interest.

Currently on an extended house-hunting trip and am confident that I will find acceptable housing in some place other than California. The trick is getting out of the Golden State in the next 90 days.
