New Gun Bills Introduced in Va General Assembly

[Recusant]

A bunch of horrible gun-control bills were introduced today. Take a deep breath and read on: Make carry of an air gun on school property a felony Take away gun rights for 5 years for a simple assault (a misdemeanor) Require new and renewing CHP holders to be fingerprinted Make it illegal for anyone under 21 to buy any kind of firearm – handguns, rifles, shotguns Put a 5% tax on guns and ammunition to fund a “gun violence intervention program” Require a 5-day waiting period on purchasing a firearm NRA and USCCA instructors can no longer teach gun safety classes to get a CHP NRA license plates will no longer be available. How petty and vindictive is that? And these bills were put in earlier: Prohibit concealed carry in restaurants that serve alcohol Make “assault weapons” and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds both illegal if made after July 1 of this year Make “assault weapon” possession illegal for anyone under the age of 21 Make legally owned (and very expensive) auto sears illegal Ban carry in hospitals, emergency rooms, or other places that provide mental health or developmental services Require a 3-day waiting period for purchasing a firearm Make it illegal to carry an “assault weapon” in a public location, including even roads and sidewalks Make unsterilized guns, even those made before 1968, illegal Take away a person’s gun rights for 5 years for a second offense of drunk driving Take away the gun rights of a person living in the home with someone else who happens to be the subject of a red flag gun ban And these are not all the gun-control bills! VCDL Lobby Day is on January 15. We need you there! Details: https://vcdl.org/LobbyDay2024

well you know something??

if they want to ban guns in those various places, then how about REQUIRING all those places to have metal detectors manned by actual security (armed ones at that) all the hours those places are open..??

you cannot go into a courthouse without passing thru a metal detector, and they have armed court cops....

make those places pay for protection...!!

put the burden on everyone, not just the selected few.

Politicians can only take your rights away if you allow it to happen. Your rights aren’t derived from politicians to begin with, otherwise they’re merely permissions. See Canada.

most of those are clearly unconstitutional. The state of Virginia for example has no authority to create another class of prohibited persons.

Now, if we can only get these law-abiding gun owners to stop killing people…

Oh wait, right string, wrong yo-yo.

These clowns are nothing if not persistent. They all have the same playbook and they are hoping to set precedent in one state and hold it up as the rule of law in other jurisdictions. They have no shame.
