Virginia Close on Gun Ban and Confiscation, Senate may Stop Bill
The Virginia bill to ban “assault weapons”, HB 961, is highly controversial. It is one of the items credited with bringing over 22,000 Second Amendment supporters to the Virginia Capitol to lobby their legislators. 91 of 95 counties in Virginia have passed Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions, saying they will not comply with such legislation.
The Virginia legislature, with a new Democrat party majority in the House of Representatives (55-45) and the Senate (21-19) and a Democrat Governor, has been energized to pass bills long considered to be outside acceptable limits.
The Democrats passed their revised “assault weapons” ban on 11 February 2020, by a narrow majority, (51-48) in the House. Several Democrats joined all Republicans in voting against the bill.
The bill combines numerous evolving definitions of “assault weapons”. It includes many of the most popular semi-automatic centerfire rifles, large numbers of semi-automatic centerfire pistols, and many shotguns. It bans “trigger activators” which appear to be bump stocks. It appears to grandfather silencers legally owned prior to the enactment of the bill. Here is the summary of the bill. From HB 961:

I believe Trump will be re-elected, but it is the State and local elections that are telling. Obama lost over 1,000 State and local elections to Republicans during his term because people got sick of his crap.
The bill will be whipped such that certain D Senators will vote against it knowing it will pass anyway. Or it may get some minor alterations?
I never thought I would see the day that the Commonwealth fell to the Orcs, Demons, and Communists. Life is a lot sadder now.
Sadly, Washington DC polluted the Commonweath with a flood of liberal government workers and immigrants. If Virginia was one state away, it woudl still be solidly conservative. Overwhelmingly. In fact, if Virginia could just have given Fairfax and Loudon Counties to Washington DC 5 years ago, the Commonwealth would still be overwhelmlingly conservative Republican.
Virginia did not get the government they “elected” so much as they were sabotaged, undermined, and conspired against. Just the way the Commierats are now trying to do the same thing to Texas.
Agree on the mental disorder. Michael Savage was dead on when he conted that phrase long ago.
Sadly, SCROTUS would vote 5-4 in favor of God-given rights.
Well, if it’s not stopped in the VA Senate, it will be stopped in the streets.
To attempt to disarm is a call to arms.
Americans allowed guns are citizens.
Americans disallowed guns are subjects.
It is all a test, of us, of our resolve.
A hard push on our fence.
The camel’s nose under our tent.

“Michael Savage was dead on when he conted that phrase long ago.”
G.K. Chesterton observed that fact over a hundred years ago.
It does..
