Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger has signed legislation banning the sale and manufacture of certain semi-automatic firearms, prompting immediate lawsuits from gun-rights groups.
The limits on “ assault firearms,” as they are described by the legislation, are among two dozen new restrictions and regulations on guns enacted by the Democratic governor in her first few months in office. That marks a sharp policy reversal from her Republican predecessor, who had vetoed many similar measures.
“Firearms designed to inflict maximum casualties do not belong on our streets,” Spanberger said in a statement Friday. “We are taking this step to protect families and support the law enforcement officers who work every day to keep our communities safe.”
The new gun restrictions move Virginia closer to the likes of California, Illinois and New York, which similarly have full Democratic control of their legislatures and governors’ offices. They also highlight a continued national divide on gun policy, as various Republican-led states have taken steps to relax firearm restrictions that they describe as an infringement on Second Amendment rights.
Ohhhh theres the 2A folks, thought they all been tread on to death. Oops.
Morons.
I don’t know why you think you want Trump armed and no one else armed to fight him, but I’d suggest taking Trump’s balls out your mouth.
Your comment makes no sense geared towards me. As my comment does not suggest to you my stance on the matter, it does point out that the fact the 2A “Don’t tread on me” gun nuts have been silent all while a facist regime has been strongly taking hold in the US the past year and a half, and only now are they making a stink when a Democrat threatens their gun rights.
trumps balls are no where the fuck near my mouth… they’d have been chomped clean off if that were the case.
It really does, as lumping in 2A with the rest of it, or suggesting ‘gun nuts’ are right-wing in general, or that there isn’t an incredibly large portion of the ‘gun nut’ community that is fully anti trump and has multiple armed anti-trump rallies speaks to your biases and beliefs. Those with ‘anti-gun’ or other extremist beliefs tend to ignore all information and news that goes against their belief. Pretending it is the right or republican voters that are the most ‘2A don’t tread on me gun nuts’ is denying the entirety of the existence of the left. I’ll admit there are few people openly left wing the in the united states since they started being literally hunted down and killed by the government starting in the 1880s, but they’re there, and they’re why dems keep losing when they introduce far-right policies like removing guns from a populace.
You’re either ignorant of reality, or you simply choose to believe an alternative reality that you’ve been brainwashed to believe. In either case the result of your comment would be Trump being the only one armed, which is antithetical to your own life, as well as the lives over ~95% of the US population.
Gun control cannot exist under liberal western democracy, much less during its inevitable decay into fascism. Period. It’s not a thing the population can allow, as liberal western democracy, which has so far only resulted in fascism, is far too unstable to allow that vulnerability.
If the 2A was actually as dangerous as liberal propaganda suggests, there wouldn’t be concentration camps in the US.
It doesn’t.
Is there a bigger group of babies than gun rights advocates?
Gun control advocates.

It must be such an easy life to have zero self awareness
I’m almost envious at this point.
As opposed to all those rugged macho badass gun nuts who talk 2A all day then put on diapers and tape maxi pads to their heads to go worship a fascist pedophile.
That bunch chose the other side. They think they’re the south rising again.
