Welcome to New Jersey, Virginia.
More like welcome to Commifornia.
From the bill:
As with all such bills, Virginia has its own definition of āassault firearms,ā which is so broad as to effectively encompass nearly all modern rifles that have these popular design or cosmetic features. The billās formal definition for āassault riflesā is:
A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has ONE of the following characteristics:
(i) a folding, telescoping, or collapsible stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle; (iii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) a grenade launcher; (v) a flare launcher; (vi) a sound suppressor; (vii) a flash suppressor; (viii) a muzzle brake; (ix) a muzzle compensator; (x) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a sound suppressor, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a muzzle brake, or (d) a muzzle compensator; or (xi) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (x);
So welcome the"fishtail grip" and the non-removeable magazines.
Thomas Jefferson is burning with anger in his grave!
So they want to ban anything that is not a handgun.
Federal definition of a handgun is:
18 U.S. Code Ā§ 921 - Definitions
(a)As used in this chapterā
(30)The term handgun meansā(A) a firearm which has a short stock and is designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand; and
(B) any combination of parts from which a firearm described in subparagraph (A) can be assembled.
Funny thatā¦ But even the FBI stats claim that handguns are involved in multiple more shootings and homicides, compared to long guns.
Liberal Logic.
