Monumental lobbying efforts by gun-rights proponents moved the needle in Richmond on a promised assault weapons ban but sweeping changes are still on the horizon.
On Friday a marked-up, edited and re-worked assault weapons ban cleared its first hurdle and moved out the House of Delegates Public Safety Committee. House Bill 961 proposes to add language to the state code that will define an “assault firearm” and put limits in place on the buying, selling and transferring of such weapons. The bill will also outlaw magazines that hold more than 12 rounds. |

| The more that we watch politicians, the more we understand how criminals think. Ban this, ban that, zero tolerance, prohibit this, forbid that, disallowed now, outlawed just because I said so, and the list goes on and on. You don't vote on, charge a fee for, or give permission to law abiding citizens to exercise Constitutional rights...Serve not Rule.. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
