On January 16th, Republicans in the Virginia House Militia, Police and Public Safety subcommittee were able to stop new gun control measures proposed by Democrats after Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) was elected.
As Breitbart News reported on January 15th, these measures included an expansion of background checks and of mental health-related gun ownership bans. Richmond's Times-Dispatch reports that a requirement that would have shut down private gun sales at gun shows and a ban "on the sale and transfer of 'high capacity' magazines" were also defeated.
The ban on "high capacity" magazines was pushed by Delegate Alfonso H. Lopez (D-Arlington), who said no one needs "a hundred-round 'high capacity' magazine to kill a deer."

Terry might have gotten a coalition of Northern VA and Charlottesville liberals to get him elected but he is going to have a tough time ramming through his communist agenda with the rest of the state. I work with VA folks a lot around the Richmond area. The born and bred Virginians are horrified at what has happened to the state and will not go down willingly.
