[Via Mack H]
"Expands the definition of "assault firearm" and prohibits any person from importing, selling, transferring, manufacturing, purchasing, possessing, or transporting an assault firearm. A violation is a Class 6 felony. The bill prohibits a dealer from selling, renting, trading, or transferring from his inventory an assault firearm to any person. The bill also prohibits a person from carrying a shotgun with a magazine that will hold more than seven rounds of the longest ammunition for which it is chambered in a public place; under existing law, this prohibition applies only in certain localities. The bill makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to import, sell, barter, or transfer any firearm magazine designed to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition."

Just so everyone knows: it will prohibit possession. A violation is a Class 6 Felony.
Your Move.
So....
ReplyDeleteVirginia joins California, New York, Connecticut, and Maryland (in no particular order).
Now we get to see the voluntary compliance rate and what they do with those who don't comply.
Any bets they'll do any better than the previous four states?
Military officers are advised not to give any orders they know will not be obeyed. Doesn't anyone tell legislators not to pass laws that will be ignored?
