I'm expecting him to sign some of the "less" bad ones.
Maybe waiting periods, RFL, and the 18-20 yo bills. Hope I'm wrong and he vetos everything. Guess it depends on whether his people says he will lose more karens with vetos or gun owners with non vetos. |

This commonwealth truly is one wrong vote from making California look pleasant.

America is a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. Democracy supports universal equality. A Constitutional Republic supports individual liberty. There is a huge difference.

Ideally, Youngkin should veto everything immediately -
none of the buzzer-beater, a minute to midnight shit on their respective Action Deadlines. |

Bans, de facto bans, jumping through hoops to exercise 2A rights... if he signs any of these, then I'll never vote for him if he runs for higher office. |

No vetoes for any of the first three expedited bills yet?
No vetoes = no vote for Youngkin, along with campaigning against him seeking office at any level. |

[#12]
Per VCDL twitter feed
Governor Younkin vetoed HB 46 and SB 47. Both bills required that if someone had become a prohibited person, they could only turn their guns over to someone who is 21 years or older and did not live at the same residence. He modified HB 498, which is the bill that requires schools to notify parents about gun laws that deal with children getting access to guns. |

Expect some sort of political fuckery, they're still trying to "compromise" on the Shelbyville monorail project / Alexandria sports stadium that Youngkin so desperately wants. Scott Surovell is a slimy f*#K and wrote some of the worst legislation passed in 2020. I could see Youngkin allowing some anti 2A bills to go through to keep his stadium project moving forward.

From a VCDL email. Looks like we're in the clear for this session. Time to kick your friends in the ass to vote next go 'round...
YES!! Gun-control took it on the chin as Governor Youngkin stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Virginia’s lawful gun-owners today! While we had no reason to think Governor Youngkin would sign any gun-control bills, it was still incredibly important that gun owners were proactive. Your phone calls, emails, and postcards to the Governor bolstered him and helped make this victory possible. THANK YOU! The Governor vetoed 30 gun-control bills, modified 6 other gun-control bills so that they no longer pose a threat to Virginia’s lawful gun-owners, and he signed 4 bills that had been modified in the General Assembly changing VCDL’s position from Oppose to Neutral. There are no more gun-control bills left. There is no way the Democrats will be able to override any of the Governor’s vetoes. The Democrats and the gun-control organizations pushed this year to go easier on violent criminals, while at the same time attacking people like you and me. These vetoes are their just desserts for disrespecting the Constitution and minimizing the importance of self-defense for good, decent people. Bottom line: the gun-grabbers struck out. There are no significant changes to Virginia’s gun laws this year! Of the gun bills that were not vetoed, there are none that are opposed by VCDL! After the General Assembly Veto Session on April 17, VCDL will do a “Thank you” campaign to the Governor and to the Republicans in the General Assembly for their strong support of our right to keep and bear arms. Bills signed by the Governor and will become law on July 1 (VCDL is neutral on all these bills): HB22, Jones, makes auto sears that are illegally owned under federal law, illegal under state law. This bill changes nothing for gun owners. VCDL is neutral on this bill. HB36, Willett, makes it illegal for a parent, who has been notified by a school or the court system that his child is dangerous to himself or others, to allow that child to gain access to a firearm. VCDL is neutral on this bill. SB44, VanVaulkenburg, makes it illegal for a parent, who has been notified by a school or the court system that his child is dangerous to himself or others, to allow that child to gain access to a firearm. VCDL is neutral on this bill. SB210, Perry, makes auto sears that are illegally owned under federal law, illegal under state law. This bill changes nothing for gun owners. VCDL is neutral on this bill. These bills were modified by the Governor. As modified, VCDL went from opposing these bills to either supporting them or being neutral: SB100, requires serialization of homemade guns made after 1968 and prohibits totally plastic firearms. The Governor removed the serialization part of the bill, improved current law by adding a protection against someone unknowingly having a plastic firearm (a gun with little or no metal components), and put in a ten-year mandatory minimum sentence for 2nd time violent offender convictions. VCDL supports this bill as modified by the Governor. HB173, requires serialization of homemade guns made after 1968 and prohibits totally plastic firearms. The Governor removed the serialization part of the bill, improved current law by adding a protection against someone unknowingly having a plastic firearm (a gun with little or no metal components), and put in a ten-year mandatory minimum sentence for 2nd time violent offender convictions. VCDL supports this bill as modified by the Governor. SB225, requires schools to text or email subjective information on guns to parents at the start of a school year. The Governor’s amendments will require this bill to be passed again next year to take effect. It also requires parents to be notified about a host of other things, including various parental rights and responsibilities not related to firearms. VCDL is neutral on this bill as modified by the Governor. SB363, makes it unlawful to possess, sell, or distribute a firearm with an altered serial number. The Governor’s amendment makes the bill basically duplicate federal law on altered serial numbers. This bill now changes nothing for gun owners. VCDL is neutral on this bill as modified by the Governor. SB515, prohibits firearms in hospitals. The Governor’s amendments strike most of the bill’s wording, including the hospital carry ban and gun confiscation provisions. The amendment makes it a crime to willfully provide a weapon to someone who is in a hospital getting mental health treatment. That’s it. VCDL is neutral on this bill as modified by the Governor. HB861, prohibits firearms in hospitals. The Governor’s amendments strike most of the bill’s wording, including the hospital carry ban and gun confiscation provisions. The amendment makes it a crime to willfully provide a weapon to someone who is in a hospital getting mental health treatment. That’s it. VCDL is neutral on this bill as modified by the Governor. These gun-control bills were vetoed by the Governor: HB2, bans “assault firearms” and magazines holding more than 10 rounds made after July 1, 2024. The definition of “assault firearm” is expanded to capture more types of firearms. It also prohibits ownership of “assault firearms” by young adults. VETOED!

SB447, creates a $500 fine and makes a vehicle subject to towing if there is a visible handgun inside an unattended vehicle. VETOED! HB454, prohibits firearms in higher education buildings unless part of an authorized program or activity in that building. VETOED! HB466, severely restricts recognition of out-of-state CHPs. VETOED! SB491, allows for frivolous lawsuits against the gun industry. VETOED! HB585, prohibits home-based Federal Firearms Licensees from operating within 1.5 miles of any elementary or middle school. VETOED! HB637, creates a training program to make more frequent use of Substantial Risk Orders (Red Flags). VETOED!

Interestingly, the House cognate for this bill, SB522, died for lack of a conference committee report. VETOED! HB798, takes away a person’s right to own a firearm for several types of misdemeanor convictions, including simple assault. VETOED!

So Tarded question.
The auto sear ban, is this just Glock switches or is this also for legal DIAS on the NFA? I will admit, I don't know much about full auto stuff, mainly because most of it is banned and well out of my price range. Edit: Nevermind, saw in the GD thread there is language about legal with the NFA stuff. |

We should all also make sure we get people to vote next time. If next session they have a total control, we'll be in trouble. This bill will pass and it might be a lot worse too given how they'll likely sign it. So it's important to vote next election. |
