Anti-gun legislators in Virginia recently adjusted their stance on completely outlawing semi-automatic firearms, allowing that you may keep the ones you already legally own, but only if you register them with the state. Gov. Ralph Northam’s proposed ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms will reportedly include a grandfather clause for current owners provided the firearms are reported to a registry, according to local news sources.

There is no "But" in "Shall Not Be Infringed" You don't attempt to Form, Shape, Mold, or Twist the Republics Constitutional rules. The Bill of Rights expressly prohibits depriving people of fundamental rights. TITLE 18, U.S.C., SECTION 242 explains. |

The "grandfather" concession is baloney, and only a media tactic.
California did the same exact thing, then two years later changed the law and began confiscating registered firearms.

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
