Federal legislation introduced this month by perennial anti-gun Senate Democrats Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both from Virginia—where embattled gun owners are facing legislative demagoguery as freshman Gov. Abigail Spanberger seems determined to ignite a new Civil War with the Justice Department over gun rights—would spread the Commonwealth’s efforts to erode the Second Amendment nationwide.
Kaine and Warner’s “Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act” was announced in a press release extolling the “virtues” of both Capitol Hill gun prohibitionists. They remind the media, and anyone else who bothers to read their self-serving announcement, that last year, they “reintroduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, legislation that would revive the 1994 nationwide ban on assault weapons two decades after the original ban expired in 2004.”
