Frequently Asked Questions

What anti-gun bills are being heard by the Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee on January 13th?

On January 13th, the Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to hear ten anti-gun bills. These include measures for universal background checks (SB 12, SB 70), handgun purchase limits (SB 22, SB 69), bans on firearms at parades and local government meetings/buildings (SB 35, SB 450, SB 505, SB 615), and a significant red flag bill (SB 240).

What is the purpose of Virginia's SB 240, the 'red flag' bill?

SB 240, Virginia's proposed 'red flag' bill, aims to allow for the temporary removal of firearms from individuals deemed a danger. However, critics argue it bypasses due process, potentially allowing firearm confiscation based on a 'claim or a whim' and shifting the burden of proof to the individual, which they contend is unconstitutional.

How can Virginia residents oppose the proposed anti-gun legislation?

Virginia residents can oppose the anti-gun bills by contacting the Senate Judiciary Committee directly and by attending the hearing scheduled for January 13th at 8:00 AM in the General Assembly Building, Senate Room A, in Richmond. Sharing information about the bills and the hearing with other gun owners is also encouraged.

What are the key provisions of the universal background check bills in Virginia?

Virginia's SB 12 and SB 70 are universal background check bills that aim to make private firearm transfers illegal without a background check. They require the Department of State Police to establish a process for these checks, which critics argue would effectively ban private gun sales by creating an unworkable system.
