When does this go to the supremes?

It doesn't until the legislation is passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor. Then the lawyers can get involved.

Meantime it's chaos in Virginia as the effective date of the laws rolls around while everyone watches and waits to see how they get enforced.

BTW, I've read that this whole thing is a Soros/Bloomberg initiated effort. Hey, once they have emasculated the 2nd Amendment, why stop there?

Doesn’t the law have to be in force and then someone has to be arrested or killed before it can go to court?

If they can wipe out the 2nd then the rest will be easy and quick.

Every time I see someone ask: "When will this go to the Supreme Court?" ... I want to scream!

It is settled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms that applies against both the Federal Government and the States.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008);

McDonald v. City of Chicago
A case in which on June 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (5–4) that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, applies to state and local governments as well as to the federal government.

United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court ruled that, The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.

The Second Amendment means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress, and has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the National Government.
