Legislative Action Summary
An assault weapons ban introduced at the request of Governor Northam. It also bans high-capacity magazines, silencers, and bump stocks. The bill would allow people who currently own assault weapons and want to keep them to register them. The bill is similar to effective measures in nine other states and DC (and a federal law existing from 1994 to 2004), found by the courts to be constitutional.
