Virginia State Sen. Lynwood Lewis (D) is taking a path that differs from that of Governor Ralph Northam (D) by vowing no support for gun or magazine bans. Lewis used an op-ed in the Shore Daily News to point out that one “assault weapons” ban never made it out of committee and to make clear he will not vote for others if they do. He wrote: The bill which rightfully had everyone very concerned (SB16) never even made it out of committee. That is why I caution everyone who was so worried about the bill that anybody can introduce a bill — whether it passes or not is a completely different question. There is no Senate bill now regarding the banning of assault rifles. The Governor’s bill on this topic was introduced in the House of Delegates and is being carried by Delegate Mark Levine. As I stated publicly before the Session and as was reported in Eastern Shore news media I will not be supporting any type of ban legislation whether on a particular type of firearm or a particular type of magazine. The bill being pushed by Levine, HB 961, would require AR-15 owners to get a license from state police in order to keep their guns. The licensing process would also be used create a database that would allow the government to know the whereabouts of every AR-15 and every AR-15 owner. [full article]
