Frequently Asked Questions

What are HB2 and SB2 in Virginia?

HB2 and SB2 are two bills pre-filed by Democrats in Virginia that propose to ban assault weapons and magazines. These bills aim to restrict the sale, possession, and importation of firearms defined as 'assault firearms' and magazines with capacities exceeding ten rounds.

How does Virginia's proposed law define an 'assault firearm'?

Virginia's proposed law defines an 'assault firearm' broadly, including semi-automatic centerfire rifles or pistols with fixed magazines over ten rounds. It also includes semi-automatic rifles accepting detachable magazines with features like pistol grips, folding stocks, or muzzle brakes, and certain semi-automatic shotguns.

What are the implications of the proposed Virginia gun buyback program changes?

The proposed changes to Virginia's gun buyback program would alter the handling of surrendered firearms. Instead of being auctioned off, these firearms would be destroyed by the locality, unless the owner specifically requests they be auctioned.

Can misdemeanor convictions affect firearm carry rights in Virginia?

Yes, under proposed Virginia law, if an individual is convicted of two or more misdemeanors within a five-year period preceding a permit application, a judge has the right to deny the permit, potentially impacting their right to carry firearms.
