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.
In an April 10 letter, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warned that if Gov. Abigail Spanberger signs a slate of anti-gun bills, including SB 749 targeting AR-15s and other common semiautomatic firearms, the federal government is prepared to sue.
Armed Virginia gun owners rallied at the Virginia Capitol to protest sweeping gun control bills awaiting Governor Abigail Spanberger’s signature. Magpul PMAG 30-round magazines were distributed in response to proposed magazine bans and semi-automatic firearm restrictions.
