Governor Ralph Northam (D) signed legislation Saturday creating universal background checks in Virginia and limiting law-abiding Virginians to one handgun purchase per month.
Northam’s office announced his signature on Senate Bill 70 / House Bill 2, creating the universal checks and thereby outlawing private gun sales.
He signed Senate Bill 69 / House Bill 812 resurrecting Virginia’s “one-handgun-a-month rule to help curtail stockpiling of firearms and trafficking.”
Northam used a tweet to refer to these gun controls as “commonsense gun safety measures,” but he did not mention that they would not have prevented the May 31, 2019 Virginia Beach shooting that he used as an impetus for gun control.
He also signed other controls into law, including requirements that gun owners report stolen firearms within 48 hours of the theft or face “civil penalty.” This puts the onus for a gun theft on the gun owner, rather than the individual who stole the firearm.
Democrats won control of Virginia’s legislature in November 2019 and, just days after their victory, Northam made clear there would be a war on guns. That war originally included all-out bans on certain categories of firearms, on ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds, and on firearm suppressors. However, Democrats reformulated their push after facing widespread public backlash over their gun control agenda.
Well over 100 local governments in Virginia declared Second Amendment Sanctuary status in response to the gun control push, and some law enforcement officials were vocal in their opposition to new controls as well.

Hey guv, Ration THIS!
Chinese bought Northam’s days are numbered in the governors’s mansion and also his time as a free man!!
Civil war will come to VA. He will proably keep the state closed into nov.
But befoure that there will be a rebellion.
VA used to be a great place to do private gun deals. Buyers and sellers connected through an online forum and deals were done wherever you wanted to meet.
How far the state has fallen in a few short years.
The growth and of Federal government caused this. It’s swollen workforce expanded into northern VA and elected communists.
EVERY time.
Northam is letting his inner fascist show and he's telling us he won't stop.
Democrats hate America.
They are vile creatures. Hate these cretins.
If VA citizens wish to buy or sell a firearm without the govt being involved, I’ll gladly participate.
Virginians are living on the Notham Plantation.
yeah, they were able to pass this because their illegal prohibition of the right to assembly prevented the tens of thousands who showed up to stop this a couple of months ago from showing up again this time ...
NO reason to live or do business in that state.
“to help curtail stockpiling of firearms”
Sounds like something the English King would be worried about, not an elected American governor.
Yeah it is sad. The home of so many Patriots now run by treasonous scumbags like this guy.
I don’t see how the rationing part of this can withstand constitutional challenge
Tomorrow, April 12th is the 159th anniversary of the start of Civil War I.
It is amazing how many are completely ignorant of the story of Lexington and Concord, and the beginning of the American Revolution. That anyone could think this in line with the 2nd, given that history, is incredible. They’re either ignorant (the charitable interpretation) or evil proto-totalitarians.
