What's the chance that it passes both houses? Seems like there was some Democrats who said they might not vote for it.

Wow! So the VSP jumped straight to Brown Shirt status, kicking people out of the peoples house watching the peoples business being done by the peoples "representatives". Good luck VA! 99.99% will hide their contraband items away. A few will get picked up from time to time on unrelated matters or an angry ex will rat them out and GD will point and laugh. One day they'll all die and their relatives will turn those scary guns in when they find them cleaning out their homes. That's exactly what will happen.

"The bill further states that any person who legally owns an assault firearm on July 1, 2020, may retain possession of such assault firearm after January 1, 2021, if such person has obtained a permit from the Department of State Police to possess an assault firearm in accordance with procedures established in the bill."

Did the 'constructive possession' clause go away?
Can't have all the parts to make an AW or whatever the phrasing was. I guess since simple possession won't be prohibited constructive possession would have to go away? By the unsafe act I can actually own a standard, full featured AR as long as I break up the pieces into 2 or more compliant rifles and/or stored parts. |

The Va Dems are simply repaying their campaign debt. Those that bought and paid for them don't care if they are not reelected, as they will simply give their money to another bought and paid for stooge.

Quoted: This was inevitable. Sadly, very few gun laws are removed from the books once added (exception was the AWB...only because of the sunset clause). Even if Republicans take back the house, senate, and governors seat I seriously doubt they would remove these laws from the books.

Did you really think that would have any impact on the outcome? Seriously. A month ago I was pointing out in other VA threads that NYS counties were passing anti SAFE resolutions and it had absolutely no impact on the outcome. I was basically told that VA would be different. In the end there is no difference. Your rural low population counties are having state law dictated to you by a handful of high population urban counties whose residents probably think of their country cousins as embarrassing hicks. Same as NYS View Quote To my fellow Virginians: I think that Virginians (if the hammer falls and the Bill is signed into law) need to keep their own council and not communicate any 2A goings-on (legal or extralegal) with those who you do not trust....Much less here on this site as many members here are not our friends and will dime us out in a heartbeat. |

One day they'll all die and their relatives will turn those scary guns in when they find them cleaning out their homes. That's exactly what will happen. We all know it, the commies running Virginia know it and it's what they planned on. People of the gun never got worked up enough to do anything, as these were one-off arrests that barely make the news. The government will NOT pursue large scale enforcement, because that would result in immediate BOOGALOO. And the cops and politicians know they are outgunned. That is precisely why they use the incremental approach... the frog in the pot, slowly turning up the heat. Will Virginia be different? The politicians just showed they are using the same playbook, backing off a drastic confiscation bill in a pre-planned move to appear “reasonable”. Many Virginians will be placated that they “get to keep” what is already theirs. Many will say, “not yet, we don’t need a boogaloo”. Next shooting though, VA will push for registration. Then additional steps. They will say, “we compromised on the bill, but this epidemic continues”. The government won’t bother ever going for mass enforcement and door to door confiscation, which incites violent counter action. They will send you a letter. “Surrender your firearm which we know you have, or face a $1,000 fine.” They will keep sending them, and never give you the chance to physically confront them, until they place a lien on your house, or garnish your wages. That is the Government’s plan. Never give an excuse to go hot. Anyone who does go hot will appear unreasonable, unhinged, unstable, and the media will vilify them. So while everyone waits for “confiscation” to fight back, it will never happen. The people cannot win if they play by and into the Government’s rulebook and gameplan. We need to act from a position of power, united, and organized, and not in a manner that can easily be portrayed as unhinged, giving them further excuses to disarm the populace. |

My reading of this revised version is that you can gift an assault firearm to a family member and that the executor of a will / estate can transfer (only transfer, NOT SELL) to a beneficiary. There is no provision to allow one to sell to a licensed dealer or to an out of state buyer. § 18.2-308.9 (A) also states: "Assault firearm" includes any part or combination of parts designed or intended to convert, 418 modify, or otherwise alter a firearm into an assault firearm, or any combination of parts that may be readily 419 assembled into an assault firearm. "Assault firearm" does not include (i) a firearm that has been rendered 420 permanently inoperable, (ii) an antique firearm as defined in § 18.2-308.2:2, or (iii) a curio or relic as 421 defined in § 18.2-308.2:2. That definition would make a machine gun, which can be readily assembled into a semi automatic meeting the other criteria, fall into the category. These two sections, when combined, basically means if you own machine guns in VA you can never sell them so long as you remain a VA resident, and your heirs can inherit them but not sell them if they are also VA residents. |

Even if 10k of those are post 86 dealer samples (this ratio aligns with the national ration of transferable to non-transferable MGs in the NFATR), that's 25,000 machine guns that will either be sold out of state before HB 961 goes into effect or become locked out of the market unless the owner moves to a different state. At current MG pricing (avg. $20k for transferable), that's around $500 million in inventory that could be pushed into the market in a very short period of time. |
