First Batch of Gun Control Bills Heads to Virginia Governor

Summary

Virginia lawmakers are advancing several gun control bills, including an 'assault firearms' ban approved by a Senate committee. The House Public Safety Firearms subcommittee is expected to approve SB 115, which would replace the state's universal concealed carry reciprocity with a more restrictive system, and SB 643, prohibiting handgun and 'assault firearm' sales to adults under 21.
