BREAKING: Virginia Strikes Down One Of Gov. Northam's Insane Gun Control Bills

Chris “Badger” Thomas RIGHT WING TRIBUNE–OPINION

When Virginia’s House Public Safety Committee meets on Friday morning to consider HB961, Democrats will move to modify the current language and remove a registration requirement for so-called “assault firearms,” as well as changing a ban on ammunition magazines that can hold more than ten rounds to a ban on those that can hold more than twelve, according to a draft copy of the legislation reviewed by Bearing Arms.

Remarkably, or perhaps not so much, two Democrats voted against the measure, killing it in a Senate committee.

From FoxNews:

Virginia lawmakers on Monday rejected a gun control bill proposed by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, as the state continues to become the battleground in the nation’s gun debate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted against Northam‘s bill that would make it a felony to “recklessly leave a loaded, unsecured firearm” in a way that endangers a minor.

“This bill will keep children safe from loaded, unsecured firearms. Like Gov. Northam’s other commonsense gun safety measures, it is something that everyone — including responsible gun owners — should support,” said Northam’s spokeswoman, Alena Yarmosky…

Getting controversial bills through House and Senate committees is generally considered easier than getting them through the entire legislative bodies.
