Maybe by next year, we'll have another Conservative or two sitting on the Supreme court, and they'll put this matter to rest once and for all.
RBG can only be reanimated so many times. It looks like they’re working with a pile of desiccated skin and dried bones now, so I’d guess it’s not long.
It's only been tabled for a year. It appears that the bill was poorly written and there is to be another study to narrow the language used and what kind of guns would be considered in this bill.
According to my search, VA HB 691 concerned the creation of a board to control prescription drug costs, not gun control. If that's the bill you're talking about, it makes the GOP look really bad considering they promised an affordable replacement for Obamacare.
The bill banned silencers and magazines over 12 and certain assault 2weapons, I assume it was the definition of what type of weapons would be banned. The other red flag laws passed. Hopefully this will return next year.
I still wonder at the damage the Dems have done to themselves with this obvious overreach. VA is LIGHT blue, not dark blue. Drastic over confidence.
Everyone thinks of Texas as being dark Red forever - but that's not the case at all.
Texas was Dark Blue for over 100 years - until the Democrat Governor of Texas (Ann Richards) let the Progressive's talk her into Gun Control. She lost the election in 1994 over that one issue and Texans began the Red Tide. Those Progressives and Ann Richards (a very, very popular Governor whom I voted for) -- never dreamed of the damage they were doing to the Democrat Party.
No Democrat has won a Statewide Office since 1994. Think of that for a minute.
No Democrat has won a SINGLE Statewide Office in Texas since 1994 .... and it started with Gun Control
Virginians have spoken - will the Democrat Party listen?
The Democrats have a very poor history of listening to the people they supposedly represent.

Virginia is solidly blue, the world has changed and so has Virginia and other states. Rural areas still exist but there has been enormous growth in the last few decades including many minorities. There are other issues besides guns, you're kidding yourself thinking that somehow this is going to change voters over to the GOP in Virginia. The republicans voted against red flag laws, do you think voters will remember.
