A Virginia judge has issued a statewide preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the Commonwealth’s new ban on so-called “assault firearms” until December 31, 2026, handing Virginia gun owners a major victory just days before the law was scheduled to take effect.
The ruling came Thursday in Crump v. Katz, the state-court challenge to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s sweeping gun-control package. The judge read the preliminary injunction from the bench and made clear that the assault-firearms ban is now enjoined statewide while the case proceeds.
The Commonwealth tried to limit the injunction to Lancaster County. The judge refused.
The state then asked the judge to stay his own ruling. He refused that, too.
That means the injunction is in effect now unless a higher court intervenes. Virginia’s assault-firearms ban is not merely delayed on paper. It is blocked statewide through Dec. 31.

Higher totem pole judge will overturn.
Even the article mentions that. One can hope.
“assault firearms” ..........Every firearm is an assault firearm........I can hit you with it after its empty!...............
good news!
we really need to figure out a way to remove commie-nazi “judges” that won’t obey their oaths of office to uphold the constitution...from the bench
As soon as lefties get power, they go all out to put in their agenda.
When conservatives get power, they lolly-gag around.
Yep. Republicans are moronic and cowardly.
“assault firearms”. I don’t know what that is, I have a lot of rocks in my driveway could they be assault rocks?
So, where did we get a freedom-loving judge (unnamed in the article) that can read the USSC Bruen decision?
We’ve had “assault rifles” since the Winchester 1905 self-loading. AR pattern rifles are overwhelmingly the most popular rifles in America for years and years. Is that in common use enough for you, commie judges?
So in the meantime, can residents of Virginia buy and possess “assault rifles?”
...I feel sad for the residents of Virginia today...lived there for 43 years...have many happy memories of our time there...Comrade Spanberger campaigned as a moderate, but
her true colors emerged after her election...yes, AR DOES
stand for “assault rocks” so watch them be banned soon...!!!
Today in 1876, Custer was defeated by a people armed with the then latest firearms on the market. The Tube fed Lever action rifle. Yet after that, no one called for a ban on those rifles for everyone. In fact, in the attempt to ban handguns in 1934 it was said a RIFLE was better for home defense than a handgun. In 1984 they came for the rifles.
LOL!
I have hammers, kitchen utensils, frying pans, glassware, screwdrivers - all can be used to assault someone. Or not. The guns are tools.
And frankly, given the purpose of the second amendment, we should all have as assaulty of assault weapons that we can get. Especially with the rise of communism in our government.
