Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main provisions of S.1155, the Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act?

S.1155 proposes expanding background checks for private firearm sales, limiting handgun purchases to one per 30 days, and establishing a national red flag law. It aims to restrict firearm access through these legislative measures.

How does S.1155 propose to change background checks for private gun sales?

The bill mandates that all private party firearm transactions, even face-to-face, must go through a licensed FFL dealer who will conduct a NICS background check. This effectively eliminates private sales that do not involve a dealer.

What is a national red flag law as proposed in S.1155?

A national red flag law, as outlined in S.1155, would allow courts to issue Extreme Risk Protection Orders. These orders can prohibit individuals from possessing firearms or require them to surrender firearms already owned, based on a petition alleging risk.

What are the concerns regarding the red flag law provision in S.1155?

A primary concern is the allowance for ex parte applications, where firearms can be seized based on a petition without the owner being present. This is seen as a potential violation of due process rights before a full hearing.
