Thanks to Second Amendment supporters around the Commonwealth ceaselessly voicing their opposition to a sweeping gun ban, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-5 to reject House Bill 961 on February 17th. Bloombergs House majority in the General Assembly is not going to deliver their most coveted agenda item to their billionaire master.
House Bill 961 was a comprehensive ban on many commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, suppressors, and standard capacity magazines. The original bill sought to impose a licensing and registration scheme for citizens who wish to keep affected firearms they lawfully owned prior to the ban, with felony penalties for noncompliance. It also broadly banned any part that could be used to change a firearm into a banned configuration. While the House Public Safety Committee amended the bill to allow citizens to keep currently owned firearms and suppressors, there was no option for citizens to keep their lawfully acquired magazines with capacities greater than twelve rounds, forcing millions of Virginians to dispose of their property, become a criminal, or surrender them to the government.
Numerous other anti-gun bills are still in play this session. Please stay tuned to www.nraila.org and your email inbox for further updates on these bills and other issues threatening our Second Amendment rights in Virginia.

Soros and Bloomberg get stuffed...
Trotskyites and Bolsheviks still at it?

“They will not give up in their efforts to replace Freedom with Tyranny.”
Patriots will not give up in their efforts to replace tyranny with freedom.
They had to option to table it indefinitely, they didn’t do that. It was specifically carried over to the 2021 session with a letter to the VA Crime Commission for further study. This battle will have to be fought again next year.
Thank you!
Maybe there’s hope for that state yet.
“This battle will have to be fought again next year.”
it would either way ... i suspect they tabled it for time certain just to save face ...
Everyone,
Seems the VA Senate only tabled the bill for 1 year. Expect we will be seeing this again and expect that they will try to pass it while no one is watching.

The reason for tabling it is BS - for a crime commission “study.” About 100 of 120 counties in Virginia have voted to become Second Amendment sanctuaries. The Dem legislators can see the writing on the wall. Other than Northern Virginia legislators [hardcore liberal counties], the rural ones are going to spend the next year taking the temperature of the voters. Do you really think they will vote this out of committee next year when it is an election year? They have their sorry-ass jobs to worry about.
Bloomturd will probably straight up pay each of these demoncrap senators 2 million dollars a piece to change their votes.
Watch out for Mikey. He is shifty. He bought our state senate for $10,000 a vote, being careful to give the money to the guys who were against gay marriage AND the guys who were for it, so no one could say he bought the vote. Then they voted in a late session on a Friday night.
they prolly have new legislation to vote on already printed
Northam is worried about some woman he mistreated coming after him.
She was immediately shot down by one of the panel.
Conservatives don't have a problem with their ‘heads exploding’; they calmly do something about it.
Another example of a leftist trying to make it look like conservatives act like leftist liberals. Good try idiot.
Actually this was an example of Donna's head exploding when she tried that foolish attempt to make it look like Patriots act like dems.
She failed in everything she said.
They are just going into hiding until after 2020 election.
It will be back if VA voters can’t change the direction of the State
Bloomberg wants a refund
The DEMS don’t care about the 2020 election. Virginia’s elections are in 2021. They are not going to pass a gun control bill in the 2021 State Legislature because they have to run in November 2021.
Never!
