Is that gonna happen?

Yes, they will pass the House and be signed by the Governor.

Legal challenges will be swift, tied up in court, and eventually lost.

I am not a gun owner nor a particularly ardent 2nd Amendmnent defender (I view it as a kind of necessary evil).

The biggest concern I have is that, living right on the TN-VA line, I am seeing an entire region of people have their political power completely decimated, which never ends well. There will be cultural aftershocks for years after this.

We have seen Chicago control Illinois politicos for 150 years.

We have seen NYC control New York politics for 200 years.

No one in Virginia has seen progressive metropolitan areas dominate dominate the political discourse in their lifetimes. The state government has been completely remade and it has had immediate ramifications for those citizens. The boiling hatred and antipathy towards Richmond, Charlottesville, and DC is palpable.
