Gotta say that I never thought I’d see the day when Virginia turned into Illinois:
A bill banning AR-15s and other popular semiautomatic rifles, as well as magazines holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition, cleared the Virginia legislature Monday and is headed to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s (D) desk.
The legislation, SB 749, states that “importing, selling, purchasing, or transferring a prohibited firearm would be a Class 1 misdemeanor,” Ammoland News noted.
It also “restricts the sale or transfer of certain large-capacity magazines defined in the statute.”
WRIC reported that SB 749 also bans a number of semiautomatic shotguns and certain semiautomatic, centerfire pistols.
SB 749 takes effect July 1, 2026.
So to sum up: the party of Thomas Jefferson has passed an un-Constitutional gun control law in Jefferson’s home state.
Note that this does not effect existing owners of said Eeeevil Implements Of Death, but I bet that whatever the numbers of those people are at present, there are going to be quite a few more before July 1, 2026.
And in the future, there’s going to be some serious traffic congestion every time there’s a gun show in West Virginia.
Hey, it’s the Will Of The People, right? After all, Virginians voted this bunch of scumbags into office.
Other gun-friendly states need to take note, especially the ones recently infested with refugees from California, Illinois and New York.
Normally, I say something very rude at this point, but I’m off to the range. I think I’ll shoot off some “high-capacity” mags with my AR-15, just for the hell of it.
As y’all know, it was with considerable misgivings that I got the poodleshooter; but as more and more people seem to want to ban them, I’m kinda glad that I did. if for no other reason than:
Ammo’s cheap, too.
