I have also written my representative and others. They have no intention to do anything. In fact, The Virginia Gun Trader will be in big trouble very soon. I know this site has been seeking extra money to support its efforts, but I think the democrats will go all in to shut this down. Keep pushing everyone to vote this November and the next election and the next.

From VCDL: Turnout needed! Monday, February 17, at 8 am, the Senate Judiciary committee is going to hear HB 961, Delegate Mark Levine's "assault weapon"/higher-capacity magazine/suppressor/ bump stock ban!
This is a key opportunity to defeat HB 961 and there is a good chance we can do so!
I suggest getting there early, as we will hopefully flood the room and beyond.
After going through the metal detectors, continue straight ahead and go through the glass doors. Make an immediate right, walk down the hall, and make another immediate right to get to Senate Committee Room A.
Here's what the current version of HB 961 does: Makes possession of a large number of semi-automatic guns, classified as an "assault weapon" by this bill, a felony. This includes many popular rifles, handguns, and shotguns! You can keep any "assault weapons" you currently have, but you can't buy any more. The wording is so poor that you probably won't be able to even fix a broken "assault weapon," as each part is classified as an "assault weapon"! Gun dealers in Virginia won't be able to sell an "assault weapon" or any parts for one to anybody, include to gun owners in other states. This will do severe financial harm to Virginia gun dealers. Bans magazines that hold more than 12 rounds of ammunition. There is NO grandfathering! Possession of such a magazine (keeping it at home only) after January 1, 2021 will be a Class 1 misdemeanor. However, transporting such a magazine is a felony! Bans suppressors, making possession of one a felony. You can keep any suppressors you currently have, but you cannot purchase any more and you won't be able to fix them if they break. Bans bump stocks. Any that you have must be destroyed by January 1, 2021. Possession of one after that date is a felony.
This bill is also up for consideration by the committee: H.B. 600
Patron: Hope
Family day homes; storage of firearms. Requires that during the hours of operation of a family day home, all firearms be stored unloaded in a locked container, compartment, or cabinet and that ammunition be stored in a separate locked container, compartment, or cabinet.

Well it was postponed for a year today, not a win but relieves some of the immediate pressures anyway.

Stay engaged. We need to be organized and stand strong. Virginia has had a wake up call. Let's hold the line.

I hear HB961 has been put off for vote until 2021! I haven't confirmed this but I was told by a reliable source to me.

Stay engaged. We need to be organized and stand strong. Virginia has had a wake up call. Let's hold the line. We got a reprieve. For the moment anyway. Let's hold the line, organize more and more, and build our political fighting power over the next several months and really fight this BS! If just 1 thousand of us call and the list of opposing and swing representatives just 1 day of the week. I think that would definitely show them gun owners votes will be lost and they dont stand to be re-elected, which is what they really care about or they wouldn't be a politician.
