Virginia is the current epicenter of the country's heated debate over guns, as a new Democratic majority seeks to enact strict new limits.
The proposed assault weapon ban has received the most opposition. Gun owners have accused the governor and others of wanting to confiscate commonly owned guns and accessories from law-abiding gun owners. Northam and his allies have said repeatedly they do not want to confiscate guns, but argued that banning new sales of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines would help prevent mass murders.
An estimated 8 million AR-style guns have been sold since they were introduced to the public in the 1960s. The weapons are known as easy to use, easy to clean and easy to modify with a variety of scopes, stocks and rails.Lawmakers voted to table the bill Monday with little debate, while noting that there was confusion over what types of guns would constitute an assault weapon.
If Romney’s single vote signaled a ‘bi-partisan’ vote and ‘no unity in Republican Party’, what does 4x as many Virginia Democrats voting voting against this Democrat bill say of Virginia Democrats unity and Gov Northam’s stability?
Unbelievable
Sad news that assault weapons in VA cannot be banned
What happens when governments disarm their citizens.
Republicans have a platform. On their platform, they support 3 things: 1) The rich. 2) White supremacy. 3) Assault weapons. Republicans can't afford to lose 1 of the 3 and still expect win elections.
