    Virginia House of Representatives Passes Anti-Gun Bills

    The Virgina House of Delegates passed several anti-gun bills. Now they go to the Senate for consideration.


    Virginia House of Representatives Passes Anti-Gun Bills

    House Bill 2128 allows for a five business day delay to be imposed on firearm transfers. Current law allows state police up to three business days to complete background checks on prospective firearm buyers

    House Bill 2276 essentially ends the centuries-old practice of manufacturing firearms for personal use by imposing requirements that far exceed those in federal law. It prohibits private individuals from possessing certain unregulated components commonly used by hobbyists to make their own firearms. It also prohibits private individuals from possessing firearms that do not have a “serial number issued by a federal firearms importer or federal firearms manufacturer in compliance with all federal laws and regulations.”

    House Bill 2295 bans firearms from Capitol Square and any building or parking facility owned or leased by the Commonwealth

    Well regulated over your head?

    "regulated" is in relation to "militia" not "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    You're welcome.

    Militia is defined as:

    a military force that is raised from the civil population...
    So, the "regulation" aspect is rather loose, but the gun laws we have on the books today, more than qualify as being well-regulated. No form of government regulation over militia aspects was ever intended.

    Is that over your head?
