Virginia Governor Tackles Gun Bills at Deadline

(The Center Square) – Gov. Abigail Spanberger took action Tuesday on a series of firearm-related bills, amending a proposed assault weapons ban while signing several other measures into law. The most closely watched action involved House Bill 217 and Senate Bill 749, which she sent back to lawmakers with amendments rather than signing or vetoing them. The legislation would ban the future sale, transfer and import of certain semi-automatic firearms, along with magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds.
