You guys are totally blowing this out of the water. It's not proposed gun bans, it's simple taxes. You only give your government 20% of your guns, and the government let's you have four times as many as they got! Jeesh, ungreatful subjects ya'll are. Funds all sorts of programs for the needy, like "gunz 4 cas", the new and improved "fast n furious", Chicago population control, etc.

Virginia Democrats say they have reached a deal on 'red flag' gun law

Other bills that passed out of committee Friday include one that would expand background checks and one that would allow Virginians to voluntarily put themselves on a list that would prohibit them from purchasing firearms.

That list should be published for the criminals. By volunteering as the weakest of the herd, it may save the lives of others.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signs series of gun control measures

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed a series of gun control bills into law on Friday, further entrenching the state as the epicenter of the nationwide gun debate.

Northam, a Democrat, signed five measures, which include expanding background checks to all firearm sales, reinstating the cap on handgun sales to one a month, and a "red flag" bill to allow authorities to temporarily take guns away from people deemed to be dangerous to themselves or others, The Roanoke Times reported.

Other measures increase penalties for allowing a firearm to get into the hands of a child younger than 14 and a requirement that gun owners report lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement within 48 hours after discovering they are missing.
