Gun Control Advances in VA

Timothy Birdnow

The Virginia legislature has taken another step toward banning guns.

Military News has the story:

The Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature moved forward on Friday to pass its strict gun-control legislation in a 12-9 vote to ban "assault weapons,” suppressors, and magazines that hold more than 12 rounds.

If passed into law, HB 961would ban popular guns like AK-47s and AR-15s, effective July 1. TheHouse Public Safety Committee vote brings gun-control measures one step further to receiving a signature from Gov. Ralph Northam.

While a handful of Democrats are unsupportive in the Senate, the bill is expected to easily pass the House of Delegates.

HB 961also bans shotguns with magazines that hold more than seven rounds, which is a prohibition that applies currently in some localities in the commonwealth.

Breaking the new law would be a felony, ABC13 reported. Additionally, the bill prohibits someone from selling, renting, trading, or transferring from his inventory an assault firearm to any person

Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Robert E. Lee must be rolling over in their graves.

Had Washington and his men not had guns we wouldn't have a country. Governor Steptoe and his ilk would have prevented the American Revolution.

Meanwhile, the same people want to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens so as to assure Virginia remains in their clutches.
