Virginia Senate Committee Kill Most 2018 Anti-Gun Legislation | |||

AMGOA Staff RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A Virginia state Senate panel has defeated a Democratic push for stricter gun laws. A Republican-led panel voted Monday to block legislation that would allow cities and counties to ban firearms at certain public events. The bill came in response to a violent white nationalist rally in Charlottesville last summer where several participants were heavily armed. Former Gov. Terry McAuliffe enacted similar rules on a temporary basis last November. The panel also voted down a bill to expand mandatory background checks on gun buyers. The vote comes two days after newly sworn in Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, pushed for universal background checks during his inaugural address. https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/virginia-panel-votes-down-push-for-stricter-gun-laws/ |
