VA: Gun & Magazine Ban One Step Away From Governor’s Desk – TAKE ACTION

Summary

Virginia's HB 217, a bill banning the sale, transfer, and manufacture of "assault firearms" and magazines over 15 rounds, has passed the House and the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. If passed by the full Senate, it will go to the Governor. The bill proposes an effective date of July 1, 2026, and would grandfather existing owners but restrict their ability to buy or sell these items.
