Virginia House Passes Assault-Style Firearm Sales Ban With Grandfather Clause
The legislation bans new sales of assault-style firearms and magazines over 15 rounds but allows owners to keep existing ones; gun sales have surged nearly 500% ahead of the potential law.

- State Sen. Saddam Salim , the bill's sponsor, said the goal is to ensure fewer 'weapons of war' on the streets, while State Sen. Mark Obenshain argued it would do nothing to prevent mass shootings.
- A spokesperson for Gov. Spanberger said she looks forward to reviewing the legislation aimed at addressing gun violence in Virginia communities.
