The Virginia House of Delegates approved an assault weapons ban on a party line vote Friday.
Fairfax County Democratic Del. Dan Helmer’s bill would end the sale and transfer of assault firearms manufactured after July 1, 2024. It also prohibits the sale of certain large capacity magazines.
“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said.
Maybe it’s not so poorly written. The ambiguity could be a feature.
If the manufacturer date can’t be proven, you shouldn’t be able to sell the gun. So maybe more guns get prohibited in practice that would otherwise be allowed.
And it forces folks to keep more detailed records going forward.
You’ll be happy to know that as long as you don’t sell it, it’s completly legal to manufacture your own firearms without serialization
Depends on your state.
