Frequently Asked Questions

What is Virginia considering banning regarding firearms?

Virginia is considering a ban on the sale of "assault weapons" and magazines with a capacity exceeding 15 rounds, effective July 1, 2026. While current owners can keep these items, new sales and transfers will be prohibited under the proposed legislation.

What is Colion Noir's main criticism of the Virginia firearm ban?

Colion Noir criticizes the ban as a gradual erosion of Second Amendment rights, arguing that the "grandfathering" clause, which allows current owners to keep banned items, is a deceptive tactic to eliminate these firearms over time, rather than a genuine concession.

What does the Koper Report say about the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban?

A government-funded report by Christopher S. Koper, assessing the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban from 1994-2003, concluded that its benefits were likely outweighed by the continued use of non-banned firearms with large-capacity magazines, and its impact on gun crime was minimal and difficult to measure.

Are suppressors illegal or ineffective in preventing crime?

Suppressors, or "silencers," are legal in most states and primarily reduce noise, not eliminate it. They do not increase a firearm's lethality or rate of fire. Their role in preventing crime is often exaggerated, with other factors like familiarity with a location being more critical.
