With 86 Virginia counties declaring themselves as 2A Sanctuary counties. You would think a Democrat would get the message. The People of Virginia do not want magazine or gun bans.
Delegate Mark Levine has introduced a Bill that would make High Capacity Magazine possession a felony with the definition of any magazine with capacity over 10 Rds. You would think Delegates that represent those 86 counties would kill the bill before it got any traction.

Yeah it sucks. We're doing everything we can to stop it. I think if something like this passes it will be temporary and be reversed next voting cycle....
I wish we could give NOVA to district of Columbia. Lol

I'm unaware of any gun-restriction laws of the nature of magazine round limits or "assault weapon" style, ever being repealed. Ever. Some of them will grandfather if that's built into it, and sunset if that's built into. In extremely rare cases a judge may overrule it - rare. But I'm not aware of any legislative body ever able to successful overturn a ban of this nature.

In FL,we have a liberal group called BAWN.Stands for Ban Assault Weapons Now.Started by Gail Swarts.She is the aunt of one of the victims at Stoneman Douglas high school in Parkland FL. They need just over 700,000 signatures in order to be able to put a vote to ban semi automatic rifles on the next Florida ballot.
Was a little scary because they had a 100,000 signatures to start.But then they were told it Hass to be registered voters only. But then they were told it Hass to be registered voters only As far as I know they aren’t even at 110,000 yet, looks like they fizzled out.When I first found out, it was scary to me,it would put just about everything I like to shoot on the ban list.It would include 1022 Ruger also. And they would give you 90 days to register pre existing rifles.
But,with republican governor DeSantis and office, I don’t think it’s gonna fly.DeSantis is a great Trump supporter and ex military. He supports the second amendment.

You are right. VA is going down the same black hole to join with MD, NY, IL, and CA where the highly populated cities control the ways of life of those in rural areas, a portion of the citizenry that's largely different from their city cousins. I'm excited about with the idea of sanctuary cities or counties, taken directly from the illegal immigration thing. If it can be legally done to protect illegals, then why not the same to protect the rights of U.S. citizens? Not saying that high capacity mags are written in the 2a, but then again, sanctuary cities or counties for illegals seems like a far greater stretch.
No matter what the answer, push-back is needed.
If the Democrats had been in power when this country was founded, we'd be the British.

What about the one from 1994? I know it expired, not repealed, but I still say it counts.

That would be the "sunset" provision mentioned. VA will have no Sunset.
My only hope is that by overshooting and choosing to be so heavily draconian in what they are shooting for, that enough D's from rural areas will realize they are DONE if they agree to vote for it.

While we continue to celebrate Trump's successful appointee's to the SC; to date I haven't been that impressed with the actual judgements that have been coming down.

Yeah, could have been shelved for it's ugly sister, HB 961, which it looks like they will push for.

Not really....it was just dropped because they have another one that is worse than that one.
