Incoming Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) indicates that banning private gun sales in the state will be a priority for 2018.
In other words, he will continue to pursue the gun controls that outgoing Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) pursued but failed to secure.
NBC Washington reports that Northam will be pushing “universal background checks for gun buyers.” This means private gun sales will be treated like retail sales, with a point-of-sale background checks required at time of purchase. Such a framework will require a law-abiding gun owner to seek out a government representative, a federal firearms license holder, and have a background check performed before he sells a gun to his neighbor, co-worker, lifelong friend, or acquaintance.
Other states that have outlawed private gun sales charge a fee for the required background checks. That fee effectively serves as a new tax on the gun sale or transfer, thereby driving the price of firearms up.

Meant to say FFV. Darn it.
Hey, don’t knock Future Farmers of America— it would be great if VA was led by those folks instead of the “brothas from different mothas” of the gibsmedats living in N. VA and around Richmond.
Most FFV, have to agree, have gone ultra lib... maybe white guilt for their long lost fortunes. Know a few who aren’t ashamed of heritage and who are Constitutionalists.
Thank you GOPe for the slippery slope that brought us to this point. When RNC calls wanting money I tell them urinate up a rope. They turned that back on Ken Cuccinelli and I’ll never forgive them for what they did to this state.
The VA GOP ran/backed a stupid RINO for gov and lost.
No, he gives you the gun for free and sells you a stick of gum for $500.00.
Bingo. K Street is the longest street in America.
Virginia elects democrats for governor, maybe 70% of the time.
