I know the board has been following this.
LINK
SB 70 Universal Background Checks
SB 69 Handgun Purchase Limit
SB 35 Localities can ban guns where they would otherwise be allowed by law
Still have to pass the House and be signed by Gov Coonman.

Is that gonna happen?

Can someone please explain the logic behind limits on the amount of handguns you can purchase?
How is that supposed to prevent shootings?
If a potential shooter plans to carry out an attack and he doesn’t have a gun, this law won’t stop him from buying one.

It’s the slippery slope. Once a law stands that regulates how frequently you can purchase a firearm future laws can be passed amending the time frame. Today it’s one firearm a month, in a decade it’s one firearm in a year, and in a few decades it’s one firearm in a lifetime.

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.

There may be some logic but I'm scratching my head there as well
You only need one handgun to shoot someone. What is the proposed limit?
Posted on 1/21/20 at 11:46 pm to Powerman
It’s one per month I believe
I genuinely don’t know how this law would even in theory be beneficial

I believe it is 1 per month.
Gun control advocates will say it's a safety measure to prevent stockpiling.
2nd Amendment advocates will say it is a financial disincentive when combined with the new universal background check law.
Haven't investigated if it controls for interstate transactions (can VA residents drive across the state line and purchase multiple pistols from a Bass Pro in TN?).

Infringement. Next.

It's really hard for me to imagine the people of Virginia looking at Maryland and saying "we want to be more like that."

But there are multiple rooms in my house.
As a teenager, I walked in an AA male standing over my mother after she and my father had passed out in the living room one night.
If I only have a gun by my bed and I say in my study when I hear someone breaking in what if I don't have enough time to make it across the hall and downstairs in time? This rule is stupid for multiple reasons, but worse of all it is in violation of our God Given rights. Coonman and that entire house need to drug out of their offices and prosecuted the minute these laws impact a life in a negative way.

I suppose my point was it wouldn't stop a criminal from doing something you don't want them to do with the gun
If some gang member wants to go execute someone this won't stop them. Whether they obtain the gun legally or illegally they don't need multiple guns to commit a gun violence crime. This doesn't stop that.

quote:I think it's a felony now to falsify a gun purchase application and the application has as one of its questions; "Are you purchasing this gun for someone else?" Not sure how the Virginia law will change the fact that if someone is willing to risk a felony conviction by purchasing a weapon for someone that can't have one, then that practice is going to move along unabated. These crap laws need to move along the court route and start getting some this idiocy stopped.
“Others do what we call a ‘straw purchase,’ and no background check can stop that. That’s where you give money to a person with a clean background, even though you’re a criminal. They go buy the gun, pass all the checks," explained Philip Van Cleave, president of the Virginia Citizens Defense League.

Some distorted logic going on up there. Problem is NOVA is populated by a lot of new immigrants and new citizens(voters), who don't really understand any of this.
Posted on 1/22/20 at 4:11 am to auggie
NOVA is also populated with so many progstain transplants that I’m afraid my home state is lost to the insane forever.
I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the shift and what it will mean to the good people outside NOVA.

Are you a Virginian? If so, where are you from?
