Gun store owner Kenneth Norman joins The Ingraham Angle to discuss commonwealth s attack on Second Amendment
Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam and other state Democratic lawmakers have appeared to slow their efforts to ban assault weapons in the state.
Virginia s Democrat-controlled Senate last January rejected Northam s bill to ban assault weapons, including some semiautomatic rifles, and voted to take up the matter again in a year.
Nearly one year later, Northam, whose term expires in 2022, told WRIC on Monday that he ll leave the decision to revisit a gun ban up to the discretion of the legislature. Whatever they do, I’ll be supportive of, Northam said.
A Virginia man was convicted this week after leaving a loaded firearm within reach of his child, who unintentionally shot himself, marking the first case prosecuted under a new state law increasing penalties for “recklessly” leaving guns near children.
Radell J. Bolden, 36, who had his gun rights restored less than one month before the incident, was found guilty in Chesterfield General District Court under the new law, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported.
Bolden was sentenced to a year in jail with all 12 months suspended, as well as 24 hours of community service. He must also surrender his firearm and attend a firearm safety class.
