On Monday, January 26th, the Senate Courts of Justice Committee advanced a slate of gun control bills targeting semi-automatic firearms, standard capacity magazines, carry rights, home storage, and more. Most concerning, a substitute to SB 749 was adopted, the bill now bans all magazines above 10 rounds that are currently owned by law abiding Virginians. This will instantly turn individuals into criminals for owning most common handguns, semi-auto rifles and shotguns. Moreover, this hearing went forward while much of Virginia was under a winter storm state of emergency, making it difficult or impossible for many gun owners to safely travel to the Capitol to testify in person. Most of these bills now move to the Senate Finance Committee.
