Frequently Asked Questions

What new gun control laws have been enacted in Virginia?

Virginia has enacted Senate Bill 749, banning the future sale, manufacture, purchase, or transfer of commonly owned firearms and standard capacity magazines over 15 rounds, set to take effect July 1, 2026. Additionally, Senate Bill 27 bans the public carry of these firearms on public streets, parks, and sidewalks.

Why are Virginia sheriffs and prosecutors refusing to enforce the new gun bans?

Many Virginia sheriffs and Commonwealth's attorneys are refusing to enforce the new gun bans, citing Article 1 Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution (the state's Second Amendment) and deeming the laws facially unconstitutional. They are honoring their oaths to protect constitutional rights.

What legal action have GOA and VCDL taken in Virginia?

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) have filed an emergency petition for a writ of mandamus with the Supreme Court of Virginia. They are seeking to compel a circuit judge to rule on an injunction and prevent the gun bans from taking effect without judicial review.

What are the main legal arguments against Virginia's new gun bans?

The legal arguments center on the Second Amendment and Article 1 Section 13 of the Virginia Constitution, asserting an individual right to bear arms. They argue that bans on commonly owned firearms like the AR-15 are facially invalid under Supreme Court precedents like Heller and Bruin, and that historical justifications cited by the state are insufficient.
