RICHMOND, Va. (WAVY) – The House of Delegates has voted to pass a bill that bans assault weapons and other firearm accessories.
House Bill 961, sponsored by Delegate Mark Levine (D – Alexandria), passed with a 51-48 vote Tuesday afternoon.
The bill prohibits the sale, transporting, transferring, manufacturing, purchasing, or possessing of an assault firearm. Doing so would result in a Class 6 felony.
The final version of the House Bill includes several amendments, including the definition of an assault firearm. The final bill defines it as, “A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 12 rounds.”

Don't rush it. The frustration is real, we certainly have been attacked, harassed, provoked, etc.
I feel it too, but once it starts, it will be very hard to stop.
I'm constantly reminded of all the complete morons that fail to recognize that the 2nd amendment DOES NOT grant the right to the people to keep and bear arms. It RESTRICTS the government from infringing on our natural rights.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the repetition but it deserves to be.

ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that you have never read the 2nd amendment. It ends with "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Notice the quotes.
The word "right" is right there. See it? You can't deny it. And the "right" is to keep and bear arms. It says nothing about infringing on our "natural rights." You are just making crap up. You are certainly the moron here, no, make that "complete moron." Better stay "unknown" if you don't want your friends calling you stupid. The constitution, as it is written, makes it a RIGHT to keep and bear arms. Words matter. You can't omit them from the constitution to suit your political agenda.
