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 |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
