A lawsuit was filed in Lynchburg Circuit Court late Tuesday afternoon, June 23 challenging Virginia's new expanded background checks.
Five new gun laws are expected to take effect on July 1, 2020.
Those include the bills requiring background checks on all firearm sales in Virginia; bills establishing an Extreme Risk Protective Order; bills reinstating Virginia’s one-handgun-a-month rule; bill requiring gun owners to report their lost or stolen firearms to law enforcement within 48 hours or face a civil penalty; and a bill preventing children from accessing firearms by increasing the penalty for recklessly leaving firearms in their presence. https://wset.com/news/local/lawsuit-challenges-expanded-background-checks-for-firearms-purchases-in-virginia |
