Virginia General Assembly passes bills to require background checks on all gun sales, restore one-handgun-a-month lawTwo unresolved pieces of Gov. Ralph Northams gun policy agenda have cleared the Virginia General Assembly as the legislative session nears its end.
Legislation to require criminal background checks on all gun sales and restore the states former one-handgun-a-month rule won final approval Saturday in the state Senate.
The passage of the two bills means seven of the eight proposals Northam called for after last years mass shooting in Virginia Beach are heading to his desk to be signed.
Today, this year, Virginia has said enough is enough. The emergency of gun violence must end. This legislation will help get us there, Northam said in a statement Saturday afternoon. Thank you to the many gun violence prevention advocates, some of you still grieving over the loss or injury of a loved one, who have fought for years for today. And thank you to the legislators who finally listened to the voices of Virginians and voted to pass commonsense gun safety legislation.

Good job Dems. The renters protections were also great. As were making it illegal to cure gender identity issues.

AWBs, magazine capacity restrictions, and one-handgun-a-month measures are not.
