Virginia Senate Votes to "Shelve" Assault Weapon Bill - TheFirearmGuy
The Virginia Senate voted to 'shelve' an assault weapon bill that proposed banning future sales, requiring registration of existing ones, restricting magazine capacity to 12 rounds, enhancing background checks, and outlawing silencers. A state commission was ordered to study the potential effects. The speaker views this as a slight victory, acknowledging the postponement but anticipating future attempts by 'anti-gunners'. The significant turnout of over 22,000 people at the state capital in Richmond and the declaration of over 95 counties as 'sanctuary counties' are highlighted as powerful demonstrations of opposition.
