Thousands of gun owners and some members of out-of-state militias and hate groups plan to descend on Richmond today amid a fierce battle over Virginia's gun laws.
. Three men in Maryland face various federal firearm and alien-harboring offenses and three in Georgia face conspiracy to commit murder and gang charges.
Virginia law permits some firearms to be openly carried in some places. Locations, including federal buildings, schools, courthouses and places of worship, have some restrictions on open carry. The Virginia Citizens Defense League and Gun Owners of America sought an injunction against the ban, but a lower court determined that the governor has the authority to enact such a ban and that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Second Amendment right to bear arms is not unlimited.
Other proposals Democrats and Northam have backed include rules about reporting lost or stolen firearms, increased penalties for recklessly leaving loaded, unsecured firearms near children, a ban on anyone subject to a final protective order from possessing firearms, and a ban on"assault firearms" – though some moderate Democrats expressed concerns over that bill.
