[QUOTE="jbs2014, post: 1776688, member: 94052"] I have heard through various sources that VA turned blue for demographic reasons. And that may be a factor for the political landscape in VA right now. But one has to wonder if our side really did all it could to encourage fellow gun owners to get out and vote for candidates that will defend the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, Virginia gun owners are now dealing with the consequences. Here are some of them: [B]SB 16[/B] Assault firearms and certain firearm magazines; prohibiting sale, transport, etc., penalties. Summary: The bill makes it a felony to own a semi-auto and a misdemeanor to have a magazine with a capacity of over ten rounds. Source: [URL]http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?201+sum+SB16[/URL] [B]SB 64[/B] Paramilitary activities; penalty Summary: This bill criminalizes training with a firearm. Some critics of the bill state that it will turn martial arts instructors into felons as well. The bill can be found here: [URL]https://legiscan.com/VA/text/SB64/id/2070814[/URL] Further analysis of the bill can be found at this link: [URL]https://gunsinthenews.com/virginia-tyranny-sb64-looks-to-outlaw-krav-maga-brazilian-jiu-jitsu-kickboxing-tai-chi-firearms-instruction-guns-magazines-self-defense-training/[/URL] [I]Guns in the News[/I] also stated the definition of an "assault rifle" has also changed in Virginia to the following: The legislation would also change what is considered an “assault firearm.” Under the proposed definition, it would include any firearm that is capable of accepting a detachable magazine and one of the following characteristics: [LIST] [*]a folding or telescoping stock [*]a pistol grip [*]a thumbhole stock [*]a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand [*]a bayonet mount [*]a grenade launcher [*]a flare launcher [*]a silencer [*]a flash suppressor [*]a muzzle brake [*]a muzzle compensator [*]a threaded barrel capable of accepting a silencer, flash suppressor, a muzzle brake or a muzzle compensator, or, [*]any characteristic of like kind, which is left open to the individual to determine if they’re in violation of the proposed law. [/LIST] [B]So a bolt action rifle with a detachable magazine + a muzzle break=an assault rifle in Virginia now.[/B] [B] I have always said that the anti-gun side wants to ban ALL firearms[/B]. This is just a small sampling of the bills that are being proposed right now. There are likely more and worse. This could be your state next if you don't vote and get other gun owners to do the same.
