The Virginia General Assembly has sent legislation to Gov. Abigail Spanberger's desk that would ban the sale of assault fi****ms and high-capacity magazines, while allowing people who already own them to keep them.
Under the legislation, the state would ban the sale, manufacture, and importing of guns classified as assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 15 rounds after July 1, 2026. But those who own or bought those items before that date will be allowed to keep them.
The bill also exempts certain groups from the restrictions including groups like law enforcement and security at federal facilities.
"The overall goal of this bill is to ensure that we have less weapons of war on the streets," the bill's sponsor state Sen. Saddam Salim (D-Fairfax) said.
Republicans, like state Sen. Mark Obenshain (R-Rockingham), argue the law will do nothing to prevent mass shootings, because the criminals who commit them would ignore the law in the first place and that the focus should instead be on mental health.
"Focus on criminals in our community and not on weapons owned by law-abiding citizens," Obenshain said.
In response to the bill's passage out of the General Assembly, a spokesperson for Spanberger sent the following statement:
“As the mother of three daughters in Virginia public schools and a former federal law enforcement officer who carried a gun every day, Governor Spanberger knows how important it is to make sure kids and families are safe. The Governor is grateful for the efforts of legislators and advocates to address gun violence in Virginia communities, and she looks forward to reviewing all legislation that comes to her desk.”
