Virginia "Assault weapons" bans

House bill 217(passed house) and Senate bill 749(passed senate) are essentially the same bill. This bill calls for a ban of centerfire rifles and pistols along with a ban on magazine capacities over 10 rds after July 1st once signed into effect. I know that many states have passed similar laws but i just cant believe its happening in Virginia. whats your guys thought on this?

Everyone tried to warn the voters about Abigail. 

But not enough people listened.

Regardless of what the law states, criminals will still get the guns they want. Just look at Chicago.... It only hurts the law-abiding citizen.

Isn't this like banning the press from the internet?

What's the argument? The framers could not possibly have envisioned such technology?

Hey Joey,

Show us again your ignorance of politics and government.

Governor's don't create legislative bills. The Virginia Legislature wrote and passed these.

But do continue showing us your uninformed opinions.

This will likely be struck down by the supreme court, which it should be.

You do realize that the legislature wouldn’t pass something like this unless they knew the Governor would sign it, don’t you. 

They didn’t do this under Younkin.

The increase in taxes, and regulations are quickly being realized by those living there.

Another state where demands for U-haul's are going to increase soon.
