Virginia’s April redistricting vote is colliding with Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s changes to major gun bills, creating a high-stakes fight over gerrymandering and the Second Amendment.
Gov. Abigail Spanberger returned Virginia’s controversial HB 217 with amendments instead of signing or vetoing it, days after DOJ warned it may sue over proposed restrictions on AR-15s and other commonly owned semi-automatic firearms.
