SB 16 — provides that “It is unlawful for any person to import, sell, manufacture, purchase, possess or transport an assault firearm” and makes such actions a Class 6 felony. (In Virginia, Class 6 felonies are punishable by imprisonment for between one and five years.)
SB 16 provides that a wide range of center-fire rifles, pistols, and shotguns are included in the definition of to-be illegal firearms:
1. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;
2. A semi-automatic center-fire rifle that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the rifle; (iii) a thumbhole stock; (iv) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (v) a bayonet mount; (vi) a grenade launcher; (vii) a flare launcher; (viii) a silencer; (ix) a flash suppressor; (x) a muzzle brake; (xi) a muzzle compensator; (xii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a muzzle brake, or (d) a muzzle compensator; or (xiii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (xii);
3. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material with a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 10 rounds;
4. A semi-automatic center-fire pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) a thumbhole stock; (iii) a second handgrip or a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iv) the capacity to accept a magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; (v) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the pistol with the non-trigger hand without being burned; (vi) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; (vii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting (a) a silencer, (b) a flash suppressor, (c) a barrel extender, or (d) a forward handgrip; or (viii) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (vii);
5. A shotgun with a revolving cylinder that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material; or
6. A semi-automatic shotgun that expels single or multiple projectiles by action of an explosion of a combustible material that has one of the following characteristics: (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a thumbhole stock, (iii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the shotgun, (iv) the ability to accept a detachable magazine, (v) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of seven rounds, or (vi) any characteristic of like kind as enumerated in clauses (i) through (v).
Thus, every rifle of the common AR-15 design and a great many pistols and shotguns in common use for personal defense, target shooting, and hunting would be banned.
Not only would they be banned, but because SB 16 makes it illegal to possess such firearms, they also would have to be either surrendered to or seized by police authorities in the jurisdiction in which they are located.

So far, 42 country sheriffs have said they will NOT enforce it.
Senate Bills come and go. Unless it passes, I don't get my chonies in a bunch.
You do live in a state where they have successfully gotten rid of many guns.
I hear Ruger is now bailing from Arizona, since it drank the liberal Kool Aid.

The Republican governor of Missouri says he is open to gun control laws. He is done as a politician here.
Stand by to stand by. California just announced the destination for the majority of bailing Californians is Idaho. Welcome to USA'S newest liberal state, they just don't know it yet.
We know it and are trying to stop it.
Get me out of here quick. This way, I can go lib hunting.

Stole this
"CA is a "special place. Kind of like the short bus of the US, ya know?"
"CA is a "special place. Kind of like the short bus of the US, ya know?"
But how is the hell does this short bus have so much influence on the rest of the country? Pretty sad to say.
Because its makes a lot of noise.
The liberal democrats are on a mission, they send groups of people or even single people to places like idaho where they are not all that welcome to Wiesel their way into our politics, we ignore them most of the time as they are starting their infestation like mice. Then they get to big to get rid of. It's our own fault for allowing it to happen.
Pretty sad. Maybe mandatory forehead branding is in order?

Virginia's proposed law that would confiscate AR 15s did not make it out of committee. Some of the Democrats voted against it, in spite of the governor pushing it. It is on hold until next year. Maybe they will never pass it, hopefully. Most of the county sheriffs have said they will not enforce it.
We can all thank the liberal anti-second amendment idiots for trying to pass this forward.
