Virginia Senate committee passes bill that would ban magazines holding over 10 rounds
Virginia Democrats have rolled out some bills in their move to “reduce gun violence” in Virginia. If one of those bills becomes law, selling, manufacturing, or purchasing an assault weapon would be criminalized. The bill would also criminalize having magazines that could hold over 10 rounds. There are claims that this bill was amended to remove the grandfather clause for current magazine owners.
From WRIC+ ABC 8 News:
On Monday, the Senate Courts of Justice Committee approved several gun control-related measures.
Along party lines, the committee approved a bill that would make it a crime to sell, manufacture or purchase an assault weapon, as defined in the bill, in Virginia. Plus, per the bill, it would also become illegal to possess a magazine that could hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.
“This approach will gradually take the weapons off the street without retroactively making it a crime to own a weapon that was legally purchased,” the bill’s author, Senator Saddam Salim (D-Fairfax), told the committee.
However, Republicans argued the bill violates Virginians’ Second Amendment rights.
“Every handgun that is not a pistol has the capacity to have a magazine greater than ten. This is a grab to obtain all firearms or prevent Virginians for having them,” said Senate Minority Leader Ryan McDougle (R-Hanover).
Meanwhile, the committee also passed a measure to require anyone with a child in the home to store their guns in a locked container that can only be opened via biometrics, like a person’s fingerprint.

The communists are truly taking over.
Apparently, they plan to do so in Virginia. Glad I don’t live there. The 2nd Battle of Brandy Station was the last time I was there.
From the link:
“Any of the bills passed in committee still need to pass the full Senate and the House of Delegates before they can be considered by Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger.”
I believe spanberger is behind this along with outlawing gas lawnmowers and a shitload of ultra left changes for the peeps in Virginia. I Hear that when she ran, she put on the moderate demoRat face and got elected….
Yep.
Those who voted for her (Northern Virginia) are reaping what they sow….
“useful” idiots…
A lot of useful idiots as well as plenty of fake D-rat votes.
That’s just it my friend. They’re not hiding it anymore. Wait until they have the house and senate. Bye bye filibuster. The plan is to go nuclear with the radical changes…… fast.
Nope, not hiding it anymore. They are saying what they are going to do, then do it right in front of our faces. Legal or illegal, doesn’t matter because they think they know best. Do they have all the votes? Probably not, but the coward as republicans will be obedient and not ruin the chance of getting their table scraps. And the whole time they have the MSM and celebrities covering for them all.
The Epstein files were so important because “Trump was hiding something “ even though the dims had the damn things for 4+ years and it wasn’t “a thing” now they are released, and crickets. I guess ICE being Nazis is the next shiney thing to keep everyone’s attention.
Have you all noticed that of all of the places that ICE is operating, the only place with real BS happening at the same time, is the place with$9B of fraud? Other than soros funded politicians running their cake holes !
Tyrants in the Colorado legislature are planning on regulating gun barrels now.. SCOTUS really needs to do its fucking job and put an end to this bullshit.. single party rule in this once great state has made it open season on gun owners, and were it not for county Leo’s flat out ignoring the uncontlstitutional dictats, we would be in a police state..
It’s hard to see what Colorado has become.
Too many Commiefornians moving there.
Including the side saddle governor
West of Rappahannock County and Southwest of Richmond this thing has zero support. The problem is the bulk of the population now lies in the other areas.
That is the same as NY, Ma. And many other states.
Back in the day, after we went from S&W Mod 10 .38 wheelguns to S&W Mod 4046 semi autos, the mags held 12 rounds and under the law, we could only load 10 rds into the mag. NYPD had the same problem untill they got the law changed for them but not everyone else. Brink’s tried to get the 12 rd Mags to hold the full 12 but it was rejected. We went to semi autos right after 9/11. I started in 1970 and we were using .38 Police positive wheelguns and S&W Mod 10 .38 Pencil barrels
I have one of those Brinks marked 4046
I got a Smith 4046 my department gave a try out, but it failed the audition. We got Sigs when we transitioned to the semi-auto.
Yeah, Michigan too. The Tri-County region around Detroit rule the state, what with the rapidly declining population of 1/2 way educated folks in those counties.
Looks like that black trunk full of essentially every 30 round magazine I ever “tactically acquired” during 35 years (and two months) of active duty will have to disappear. Or, i could just add VA to the list of states i will never live in. The number of new taxes they are rolling out is insane, and magazine bans only compounds the idiocy.
“Plus, per the bill, it would also become illegal to possess a magazine that could hold more than ten rounds of ammunition.”
Left unsaid is just how they propose to enforce this.
I’m sure a lot of police chiefs and sheriffs are asking the same question.
Rat-out lines and Confidential Informants.
The charges against real crooks get dropped to gain a plea deal.
When some non-donk schlub gets caught with a ten mag that can squeeze eleven, he gets felonied and removed from voter and jury roles. And added to the above CI ratline system. After a few of those hit the press, more move away. Or quit. Same dif. NewSocial DonkAmerica Party ! Forever.
Ten, press to eleven? With enough force, most magazines will. Law doesn’t say it has to -work-, just “hold”.
“…. removed from voter and jury roles.”
At this point, voting is a joke. No matter how many conservatives vote, it seems their candidate never wins.
Ditto jury duty. No matter if it’s a unanimous “GUILTY” verdict, the criminal is set free anyway, for “reasons”.
Yeah, bought some “14 round followers” for previously 10 round magazines. They indeed allowed 14 in the magazine (as long as you had three big men and a small boy to help) but were so crammed in the mag would’t lock in or allow the top round to be loaded. (I just live with ’em- 13 rounds is a 30%upgrade, I’m happy)
What does “Nonce is invalid mean?
The reason I asked that question is recently, while trying to comment, a red notice titled “Nonce is invalid” notice came up and my comments never made it.
Am now on a different computer system. Don’t know if it has anything to do with my server or the instrument I used to comment.
This has happened several times in the past month.. Additionally, have had problems in the past two days trying to read this blog.
Thank You!
“Nonce” is an Englandistan slang term for a male homosexual. Looks like in that context it is a typo.
What is strange is that we have two computers in our home plus our phones, all using the same network.
For some reason, the “Nonce is invalid” in red shows up when I try to comment on my phone. Ran virus/malware checks on every system with negative response.
My comments are going thru with our computers.
Thank you for the feedback, rgr769!
I have one of those pistol lock boxes that requires a fingerprint to open it. I found it failed to work and unlock the box about half the time, so I no longer use it to store a loaded pistol and spare mag. The finger reading screen was hit or miss. So, if relying on one to save you when the four home invaders are breaking into your house, may cause you and yours to end up in the ER or the morgue. Progs mostly know little or nothing about firearms and are incredibly stupid.
That’s the problem. Gun laws are written by people that know absolutely nothing about guns.
Gun Control Laws and the politicians who pass them do little more than ensure violent criminals that law-abiding people will be unarmed VICTIMS.
Plus, historically, with many Leftists:
Fuckin A Diddly bop, your right about that.
You’re giving the Progs way too much credit about their firearms knowledge, or their lack of said knowledge.
Agreed.
Virginia is going to hell. These are the same people that got Armed Forces Brewing tossed out of Norfolk.
Virginia is for F*ckheads now.
Oh, Virginia is still for “Lovers”.
But the definition of “Lovers” has been changed to “pervs, pedos, and homos”.
Will Virginia be requiring gun registration and random checks on gun safes?
No, but God forbid agreeable law enforcement have a reason to be in your house and see it not secure. You go to jail, you’re forwarded to child services because OBVIOUSLY you’re a shitty parent. Next thing you know your son Steven is now Susan, you see where this leads.
Will potatoes be outlawed next?

That’s funny shit right there! A legal Irish silencer! Cheap, effective, only works once, but it’s biodegradable and environmentally friendly!
When potatoes are outlawed, only outlaws will have potatoes.
Eeeeyep, the State of Viginia has indeed elected a Manchurian Candidate as Governor, she pretended to be a moderate and went FULL commie as soon as she took office, I also wonder how many fake D-rat votes were accepted as well?
dollars to donuts, I bet those 3 shitbirds in the pic have armed security.
I think at least two of those pictured are quite dead.
And one is only “Mostly dead”
Irish Democracy and a shit load of boating accidents coming up
Meanwhile, parents investigated for “child neglect” and other given the big gov’t socisl worker we’ll-take-your-kids business for letting their son scooter himself to the park.. it’s how Leftists want it be with everyone (adults included):
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/6-old-spent-4-minutes-104301912.html
Two major errors:
The parents should have NEVER let the Child “Welfare” bureaucrat into the house without a warrant. MAKE the Gooberment presstitute get a warrant signed by a judge. The simple little two letter word “NO” is a powerful thing.
The parents should have NEVER signed any documents without consulting a child advocacy lawyer first. Even though it seems that the original finding has been overturned, the family is stuck with the judgement that they signed and were coerced into agreeing to.
My sympathies to the family and especially the child.
Wow, who could have possibly predicted this would happen as soon as the dems got control of all three branches of Virginia government?
It’s actually surprising that we got the reprieve we did when Youngkin got elected and that happened as a direct result of their insanity regarding covering up sexual assault of girls by trannies in school.
That outrage only lasts so long and without control of the legislature, the republicans couldn’t get meaningful voting reform passed, so this election was a foregone conclusion.
And the easily predictable results are now following hot and heavy.
the 2nd will be back when it hits the supreme court
I could be wrong, but these seem remarkably like the measures that were already defeated in the court in the PDRK. (peepul’s demokratik repugnant of kaliphornya)
If so they are just trying to drain the legal funds of the organizations defending gun rights. IMO that kind of activity should make the legislators making the laws personally financially responsible for all court costs in reversing their stupidity.
I can assault you and stab you with a feather quill. Will you ban down stuffed pillows too? What about a toothpick? Going to ban trees?
