The US Supreme Court has temporarily halted a federal judge's order that would have reinstated approximately 1,600 non-citizens to Virginia's voter rolls. This decision is a win for Governor Youngkin, who appealed the ruling. The case centers on whether Virginia's process for removing voters, based on DMV data indicating non-citizenship, violates the National Voter Registration Act's (NVRA) 90-day quiet period before federal elections. The Department of Justice sued Virginia, arguing the removals infringed federal law, while Virginia's Attorney General contends the process is individualized and the NVRA doesn't apply to self-identified non-citizens.

This video analyzes two pre-filed bills in Virginia, HB2 and SB2, which propose bans on "assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines." The speaker, William Kirk of Washington Gun Law, details the proposed definitions of banned firearms, including specific features like pistol grips, threaded barrels, and detachable magazines. He also explains the proposed magazine ban, focusing on manufactured dates and capacity. The analysis concludes by assessing the low likelihood of these bills becoming law due to the narrow Democratic majorities in the legislature and the potential for a gubernatorial veto.
