VA: Gun Confiscation Comes to Virginia


S.B. 505

Patron: Edwards (Bans guns in local government buildings)

Control of firearms by localities; local government buildings. Authorizes a locality to adopt an ordinance prohibiting firearms, ammunition, or components or combination thereof in any building owned or used by such locality for governmental purposes. The bill requires such ordinance to include a provision for security measures designed to reasonably prevent unauthorized access of such buildings by a person with a firearm, ammunition, or components or combination thereof. The bill requires a locality to post notice of any such prohibition at all entrances of buildings used for governmental purposes.



S.B. 543

Patron: Edwards (Closes non-existent "Gun show loophole")

Firearms shows; mandatory background check. Requires the Department of State Police to perform a criminal history record information check on the prospective purchaser or transferee prior to the completion of any firearms transaction at a firearms show held in the Commonwealth. Current law requires the Department of State Police to be available at every firearms show held in the Commonwealth to perform criminal history record information checks but does not require such checks to be performed unless requested by a party involved in the transaction.


S.B. 615

Patron: Deeds (bans guns in local government buildings and in parks)

Control of firearms by localities; local government buildings and parks. Authorizes a locality to adopt an ordinance prohibiting firearms, ammunition, or components or combination thereof in any building owned or used by such locality for governmental purposes and in public parks owned by the locality.

S.B. 12 (Universal Background Checks)

Patron: Saslaw

Firearm transfers; criminal history record information checks; penalty. Requires a background check for any firearm transfer and requires the Department of State Police to establish a process for transferors of firearms to obtain such a check from licensed firearms dealers. A transferor who fails to obtain a required background check and sells the firearm to another person is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.

The bill removes the provision that makes background checks of prospective purchasers or transferees at firearms shows voluntary.





S.B. 22

Patron: Saslaw (One handgun a month)

Purchase of handguns; limitation on handgun purchases; penalty. Prohibits any person who is not a licensed firearms dealer from purchasing more than one handgun in a 30-day period and establishes such an offense as a Class 1 misdemeanor.

S.B. 70

Patron: Lucas (Universal Background Checks)


Firearm transfers; criminal history record information checks; penalty. Requires a background check for any firearm transfer and directs the Department of State Police (the Department) to establish a process for transferors to obtain such a check from licensed firearms dealers. A transferor who sells a firearm to another person without obtaining the required background check is guilty of a Class 6 felony. The bill also provides that a transferee who receives a firearm from another person without obtaining the required background check is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill exempts transfers (i) between immediate family members; (ii) that occur by operation of law; (iii) by the executor or administrator of an estate or by the trustee of a testamentary trust; (iv) at firearms shows in accordance with law; (v) that are part of a buy-back or give-back program; (vi) of antique firearms; (vii) that occur at a shooting range, shooting gallery, or any other area designed for the purpose of target shooting or for use during target practice, a firearms safety or training course or class, a shooting competition, or any similar lawful activity; or (viii) that are temporary transfers that (a) occur within the continuous presence of the owner of the firearm or (b) are necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm. The bill removes the provision that makes background checks of prospective purchasers or transferees at firearms shows voluntary. The bill also provides that the Department shall have three business days to complete a criminal history record information check before a firearm may be transferred.





S.B. 240 (Red Flag law)

Patron: Barker


Firearms; removal from persons posing substantial risk; penalties. Creates a procedure by which any attorney for the Commonwealth or any law-enforcement officer may apply to a general district court, circuit court, or juvenile and domestic relations district court judge or magistrate for an emergency substantial risk order to prohibit a person who poses a substantial risk of injury to himself or others from purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm. If an emergency substantial risk order is issued, a judge or magistrate may issue a search warrant to remove firearms from such person. An emergency substantial risk order shall expire on the fourteenth day following issuance of the order. The bill requires a court hearing in the circuit court for the jurisdiction where the order was issued within 14 days from issuance of an emergency substantial risk order to determine whether a substantial risk order should be issued. Seized firearms shall be retained by a law-enforcement agency for the duration of an emergency substantial risk order or a substantial risk order or, for a substantial risk order and with court approval, may be transferred to a third party 21 years of age or older chosen by the person from whom they were seized. The bill allows the complainant of the original warrant to file a motion for a hearing to extend the substantial risk order prior to its expiration. The court may extend the substantial risk order for a period not longer than 180 days. The bill provides that persons who are subject to a substantial risk order, until such order has been dissolved by a court, are guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor for purchasing, possessing, or transporting a firearm; are disqualified from having a concealed handgun permit; and may not be employed by a licensed firearms dealer. The bill also provides that a person who transfers a firearm to a person he knows has been served with a warrant or who is the subject of a substantial risk order is guilty of a Class 4 felony. The bill creates a computerized substantial risk order registry for the entry of orders issued pursuant to provisions in the bill.





S.B. 450

Patron: Edwards (bans guns at Board of Supervisor meetings or City Council meetings)

Control of firearms; chambers of local governing bodies. Allows a locality to adopt an ordinance that prohibits firearms, ammunition, or components or a combination thereof at any regular or special meeting of its local governing body, provided that notice of such prohibition is publicly posted and the meeting room is owned, operated or used by the locality.

When Democrats won control of both houses of the Virginia Legislature November 5, 2019, Virginia gun-owners got a rude wake-up call. Now that wake-up call is spreading to gun-owners throughout the rest of the 49 states.

In July 2019, Gov. Ralph Northam proposed a package of eight proposals that would tighten Virginia's gun laws, known as some of the least restrictive in the country. Currently, Virginia's gun control measures of merit ban the sale of firearms only to high-risk individuals and those convicted of domestic violence. However, the proposals would turn the least restrictive into what some would call dangerously restrictive, a premeditated strike against the Second Amendment. Northam's proposed package calls for legislation
... [restatement of items found in OP and @John A. replies 16, 17 & 18]

Incoming Democratic speaker of the House of Delegates Eileen Filler Corn said gun control is a top Democratic priority for 2020 as she was recently interviewed for Fox News's On the Hill. This puts the Democrat majority squarely in the middle of a groundswell of activism. As Virginia becomes ground zero for virulent gun control activists, such as Moms Demand Action, they are met by the equally fierce Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), who are determined to protect Second Amendment rights. While Virginia is home to the National Rifle Association (NRA), the VCDL grassroots organization, founded in 1994, is taking the lead in the fight against the legislation. This fight, while still predominantly Virginia-focused, is turning into growing national movement via social media, as word is spreading to gun-owners across the country. The concern is that what happens in Virginia could soon be coming to a state near you, or your own state, via legislative initiatives.

The gun control topic has become so impassioned that VCDL is mounting a 50,000-plus lobbying effort slated for January 20 in the Richmond capital, the day the Democrats assume power. However, the battle is also being fought throughout the state, county by county, city by city. In response to Governor Northam's statement that laws would be enforced — "if we have constitutional laws on the books and law enforcement officers are not enforcing those laws on the books, then there are going to be consequences, but I'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it" — the populace is banding together at their respective county board meetings.

Hence the rise of the Second Amendment "sanctuary county" movement. Prince William County's December 10 meeting was standing room only as the County Board voted on and passed the resolution declaring Prince William County a sanctuary county and that it would not "enforce any unconstitutional law." To date, with the recent addition of Fauquier County, with direct access to Washington, D.C., 87 out of 95 counties, 11 out of 38 independent cities, and 20 towns have adopted Second Amendment sanctuary resolutions in Virginia.

--- Continued in next reply ---
 
--- Continued from previous reply ---

The battle facing Virginians on both sides of the debate is not slowing. Northam, surprised at the vitriolic response of gun-owning citizens tried the divide and conquer tactic when he introduced a provision on Dec. 9 that would grandfather in existing guns that met the proposed weapons ban. However, two key developments have recently both enraged and further energized the gun rights movement.

  • Thursday, January 2, four budget hearings were held throughout the state with attention zeroing in on a proposed budget line item calling for a $4.8-million, 18-officer team to enforce the governor's proposed "assault weapons" ban.
  • A legislative draft of a bill was proposed by incoming Senate majority leader Dick Saslaw, making it a felony to possess a pistol, rifle, or shotgun that falls under its "assault weapon" definition.
Saslaw's definition of an assault weapon would expand to include a firearm magazine that holds more than 10 rounds of ammunition. So if a gun-owner owns a popular model like the Glock semi-auto, the standard magazines that come with the gun would make the owner in violation of the Virginia law if passed. This raises the hotly contested confiscation specter — and what the gun-owner will do versus what the authorities will do to the gun-owner.

The scheduled rally on January 20 at the Richmond state capitol will be watched very carefully, because it also has the potential to spiral out of control. Social media channels that discuss the subject daily are spreading the intel that groups like Antifa, the Nazi Party, et al. will be joining the fray, leaving it up to subscribers and viewers to distinguish between those channels that carefully vet
information they receive — e.g., law enforcement, actual government documentation — and those that spread the personal opinions of the channels' owners. As with all channels, the comments sections are indicative of the how strongly people feel about the situation in Virginia and what some are prepared to do.

Gun-owners are no less saddened by Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, or Columbine than their fellow citizens, but they also realize what is at stake if a government body passes laws designed to disarm its citizens in violation of their rights guaranteed by the Constitution and reinforced by the Supreme Court (see D.C. v. Heller).

It seems poignant, and perhaps apropos, that the state that was home to Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, and Madison, and so dominant in the history of the founding of our country, is now once again a battlefield of the people versus their government. On which side will Virginia fall this time?
 
Sadly, 3 out of 4 antigun bills have already moved forward to the house for a vote, likely in February. The only one that has so far stalled has been the red flag law. And sadly, one of them has had 2 repub. supporters.

I find the "state of emergency" especially disheartening.

For starters, they're putting up fences around the VA state house to keep AMERICANS out. While they detest the thought of putting up a border fence to keep terrorists out of the country and thus denying American civil rights to protest government.

They are calling the protesters "right wing extremists" when they should be calling them AMERICANS.

They are putting up mobile cell towers near the capital. While I can't find the video of it that I saw on one of the mainstream media sources to link the video here, I would like to say this isn't for the convenience of protestors folks.

This is so all cell phones will automatically connect to them because being nearer, will have the strongest signal. That concerns me in several ways. Eavesdropping on free speech, and with the likely hood of a false flag event, censoring people on the ground from being able to put the word out what's going on.

Virginia national guard have been placed on alert.

One report I read (unconfirmed) even said there was a guy who passed some semi trucks moving toward Richmond carrying black painted ARMORED bulldozers painted with the words state police on them.

There is a lot of nefarious things going on in virginia, and it's not coming from the patriots who have the right to protest what government is doing.
 
They have set up a no fly zone for Monday. Likely to prevent video footage of how many thousands of people are surrounding the capital to be used as propaganda against them.

They have already set up fences with privacy screens in them to also prevent seeing much on the other sides of the fences as well.

RE: Virginia's State of Emergency

Sensible people will not fare well.

They will be caught between the jaws of a vice. On one side are the leftist antifa goons; on the other the rightist neo-nazi bozos.

Anybody wonder why I don't like crowds or strangers?

The best place to be in Virginia is elsewhere.
 
I don't like crowds either. I don't like the way the state gov is handling the affairs, and the blood is on their hands if anything happens by pushing people to this point against the will of the people.
 
This is the age of wireless web protest. EMR FTW.
BUT, a landline relay just for backup folks.
 
The 2nd does not matter to the Democrats no matter what they say. Their actions prove that. Hell, the constitution does not matter to them.
 
Been looking at some pictures and livefeeds that aren't getting shut down (they're all being censored guys) but there are estimates of upwards of 200,000 people with feet on the ground in Richmond right now.

commentary from LASTLAUGH @ akfiles

On the corner of 10th and main. Some shit is starting to happen. Small group out here screaming at all of us calling us white supremacists

Lots of police have showed up. They're pushing us away and giving them a corner of the street to protest

Tons of press just come out of nowhere to run up and interview them

This shows the media’s true intent.

We now have a helicopter above us, much more police presence, at snipers on the roof everywhere
