Funnily enough the first gun I ever shot was in California at my Cousin’s ranch

I hear about the gun access problem for many states but oddly haven't really heard anything about Connecticut.

From what my uncle has told me CT seems worse than CA

That’s probably because no one here tries to get a gun

doubt it its worse, but I hear its pretty horendous.

horrendous*

Yeah

jeez, I am still trying to figure out exactly what the hell Northam got passed this year. you would think VA would try to inform it's citizens of updates in the law if they really believed 20 round mags were such an imminent threat too humanity. -_-

looks like sb16, the most controversial one was struck down, but everything else I have found appears to have passed. :/

"Authorizes any locality by ordinance to prohibit the possession or carrying of firearms, ammunition, or components or any combination thereof in (i) any building, or part thereof, owned or used by such locality for governmental purposes; (ii) any public park owned or operated by the locality; (iii) any recreation or community center facility; or (iv) any public street, road, alley, sidewalk or public right-of-way or any other place of whatever nature that is open to the public and is being used by or is adjacent to a permitted event or an event that would otherwise require a permit." - summary of SB - 35 that northam passed. seems like direct infringement if u ask me, but I guess im not a legal expert. 🙄

Yep, that’s a direct infringement

how has the NRA not taken that shit to the supreme court yet? It feels like such a bird in the face, b/c their HQ is down the road and I am yet to see them fight back against this B.S. :(

they have one of the nicest buildings in the whole area

https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?ses=201&typ=bil&val=sb240&ses=201&typ=bil&val=sb240 looks like VA is officially a red flag state now.

wow that was passed in Jan., and I just found out. o-o

Alright, I got a question for your guys. Based on this:

"The bill [HB 961] makes it a Class 6 felony to import, sell, transfer, manufacture, purchase, or transport a large-capacity firearm magazine, as defined in the bill, and a Class 1 misdemeanor to possess such large-capacity firearm magazine."

VA defines "large-cap" mags as more than 12 rounds. It leaves provisions that allow someone to "possess" said contraband until Jan 1 of next year, but my question for ya'll is that if I have a rifle with a detachable mag, say an AR-15, would it be a crime to take it to a gun range since that would technically be "transporting" an assault-weapon?

with the high cap mags I should say

obv. a ten round mag is probably fine..?

You had rallies in VA about that that were in the news for being alt right and endangering people because it's an open carry state from what I remember. They also preemptively called in the national guard if I remember right.

yes we had rallies in january I think

didn't do shit but make Northam piss his pants, so he created a new law banning guns on the state capitol

I *hate* when the government constantly tries to take our rights

fr. but Im not even mad that they are stealing my rights though. I do, however, feel kinda agitated that they would not make it easier for me to find out about these new laws they are making.

If the law doesn't take effect till January 1st you'd probably be fine taking it to a range, but I imagine you can call the range and ask because I'm sure other people have the same question.

well it says its fine possess such items untill then. I am worried that I may get in trouble if I actually take high cap mags.

idk

I'll keep looking into it. :\

Correct me if I'm wrong but, Joe Biden wants to:
Defund the police
Take away our guns
Let criminals out of jail
Let ms13 come across the border
And he is pro america?

Take my guns from my cold dead hands 💀

Who's gonna take the guns if there is no police

Sounds like the Democrats, yeah... it's 'cause "everyone is entitled to whatever they want... except conservatives" 🙄

The sad thing is that people actually believe that.

As far as who will confiscate the guns: the FBI, ATF, maybe they'll destroy yet another constitutional protection and use the military.

I dont think the military would be able to get military members to do it, maybe the corrupt FBI would

Well, having known people in each of those, I think you'll have a lot of the good ones refuse, and some states may declare sovereignty and mobilize the National Guard against the feds in response.

Let's just hope it doesn't come to that.

Texas has always been itching for a reason to leave. Maybe they'll be the 2nd Civil War's South Carolina.

wouldn't bet on it, Texas isn't what it once was. :/

Maybe some parts of it, but forget Houston and Austin.

There is no federal government if there are no states

Maybe if we start regulating the media they will understand what the bill of rights is

Wish it was

All y'all Texans used to be proud of your state. But y'all let in too many Californians.
