Colion Noir, an attorney and Second Amendment advocate, critically analyzes Virginia Senate Bill 749, which proposes banning 'assault weapons' and standard capacity magazines. He argues the bill unfairly targets cosmetic features, criminalizes lawful possession retroactively, and serves as a blueprint for national gun control, impacting millions of law-abiding citizens without addressing crime.

California's AB1127 bill proposes a ban on Glock pistols and any firearm capable of accepting a 'switch' to convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. The bill retroactively criminalizes possession of firearms reclassified as 'assault weapons,' potentially turning millions of law-abiding citizens into felons without meaningful compensation. It also allows for warrantless seizures under certain conditions and faces legal challenges based on due process, Second Amendment rights, and Fifth Amendment takings violations.
