GOA and GOF Petition the Virginia Supreme Court for a Preliminary Ruling on Virginia’s Looming “Assault Firearms” Ban

Summary

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), joined by VCDL and John Crump, have petitioned the Virginia Supreme Court for an urgent preliminary ruling in their lawsuit, Crump v. Katz. They seek a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block Virginia's looming ban on "assault firearms" and "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" before its July 1, 2026 effective date, after the Lancaster Circuit Court stayed their original challenge.
