Why are some Virginia prosecutors refusing to enforce assault weapons bans?

Approximately 14 county attorneys in Virginia have declared that they believe the new assault weapons and magazine bans are unconstitutional and conflict with their oath to uphold both state and federal constitutions.

What is the legal basis for prosecutors having discretion in enforcing laws?

The video suggests that a precedent exists for prosecutorial discretion, referencing a past instance where the legislature passed a bill allowing prosecutors to opt out of prosecuting certain offenses, implying they can pick and choose what to enforce.

What was the outcome of the contempt of court motion regarding background checks?

Gun rights groups filed a motion for contempt, and while the judge denied holding the head of the State Police in contempt, he warned the Attorney General's office that further attempts to enforce universal background checks would result in a contempt finding.
