All gun laws will fail in the Supreme Court. The Second Amendment is clear in the fact that the government is not allowed to restrict citizens' right to bear arms. "Shall NOT be infringed."

Well REGULATED militia. Not private unlimited arsenals. REGULATED.

You're showing your ignorance, I'm afraid. Look up the contextual definition and usage of the term "regulated" for the Colonial-era, and you'll find it has nothing to do with the current interpretation of the word.

NP here. So, we are sticking to the Colonial-era contextual definition and usage of terms in the Second Amendment? Excellent. You can have all the "Arms," as the Framers understood the term, you want. We'll even lift the one per month restriction.

This will majorly impact gun runners illegally selling handguns in DC and MD. The 30 day restriction has teeth to impact folks who try to de facto act as firearms dealers without registering.

As a DC resident, I thank VA for taking this step. It will make a real impact on firearms violence here.

One gun a month is meaningless? How so?

I guess it makes you plan your crime a little further in advance or something.

Worthless nibbles around the edges that will inconvenience people without stopping gun violence.

Oh, and did you see? VA gun stores are absolutely cranking out AR-15s and 30-round magazines. It’s all over the news today. And Magpul, maker of 30-round magazines, is handing out 1,000 for free in Richmond,

Wait - are they meaningless or are they devastating?

Agree. They seem pretty reasonable to me.

Oh the amazing things you can do when you go blue.

SB 35 Firearms, etc.; permitted events.
Control of firearms by localities; permitted events. Authorizes any locality by ordinance to prohibit the possession or carrying of firearms, ammunition, or components or any combination thereof in a public space during a permitted event or an event that would otherwise require a permit. The bill contains technical amendments.

SB 69 Handguns; limitation on purchases, penalty.
Purchase of handguns; limitation on handgun purchases; penalty. Prohibits any person who is not a licensed firearms dealer from purchasing more than one handgun in a 30-day period and establishes such an offense as a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill exempts from this provision (i) persons who have been issued a certificate by the Department of State Police under certain circumstances and with an enhanced background check, (ii) law-enforcement agencies and officers, (iii) state and local correctional facilities, (iv) licensed private security companies, (v) persons who hold a valid Virginia concealed handgun permit, (vi) persons whose handgun has been stolen or irretrievably lost or who are trading in a handgun, (vii) purchases of handguns in a private sale, and (viii) purchases of antique firearms.

SB 70 Firearm transfers; criminal history record information check, penalty.
Firearm transfers; criminal history record information checks; penalty. Requires a background check for any firearm transfer and directs the Department of State Police (the Department) to establish a process for transferors to obtain such a check from licensed firearms dealers. A transferor who sells a firearm to another person without obtaining the required background check is guilty of a Class 6 felony. The bill also provides that a transferee who receives a firearm from another person without obtaining the required background check is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill exempts transfers (i) between immediate family members; (ii) that occur by operation of law; (iii) by the executor or administrator of an estate or by the trustee of a testamentary trust; (iv) at firearms shows in accordance with law; (v) that are part of a buy-back or give-back program; (vi) of antique firearms; (vii) that occur at a shooting range, shooting gallery, or any other area designed for the purpose of target shooting or for use during target practice, a firearms safety or training course or class, a shooting competition, or any similar lawful activity; or (viii) that are temporary transfers that (a) occur within the continuous presence of the owner of the firearm or (b) are necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm. The bill removes the provision that makes background checks of prospective purchasers or transferees at firearms shows voluntary. The bill also provides that the Department shall have three business days to complete a criminal history record information check before a firearm may be transferred.
