Virginia Senators have now asked the state crime commission to study the issue. That's good, in my opinion.
While this bill was tabled, lawmakers in the House and Senate have advanced other measures that are expected to be passed in the coming days, including bills that would require universal background checks on gun purchases and enable localities to ban guns in public buildings, parks and other areas. <-- those mean more to me and have a bigger impact on minimizing gun violence/fatalities than banning semi-automatics -- I hope they pass.
Other bills would limit handgun purchases to once a month and allow authorities to temporarily take guns away from anyone deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. <-- also more meaningful to me; hoping they pass as well.
