The bills are the remaining part of a package of eight gun violence prevention measures proposed by Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, in a July 2019 special session of the Virginia Assembly following a mass shooting in Virginia Beach.

The Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee voted to pass legislation ranging from a measure that would provide for expanded background checks on any gun sales or purchases to one that would create an order allowing for the temporary removal of guns from a legal owner if a court determines that the person poses a threat of harm to themselves or others.

"Since taking control of the state government in January, Democrats have made it a priority to advance gun control measures as part of their bid to fulfill campaign promises made in 2019. The newly elected Democrats took the majority after running, in part, on a gun control platform funded heavily by advocacy groups like Everytown For Gun Safety, a group heavily supported by Democratic presidential hopeful Michael Bloomberg.
