Bearingarms.com: Separating Fact From Fiction with Governor Northam's Gun Control Plans

As is to be expected, with the giddiness of the Democrats to restrict our rights after winning a majority in the state legislature, there has been some disinformation about several of the pre-filed bills and their potential impact on Virginia gun owners.  Yesterday, Cam Edwards did a great job of dispelling some of the myths that have popped up on social media.  Cam covered bills like SB64 and SB 67.  He corrected the myth that Northam said he would call out the National Guard to enforce any gun bills passed - that was actually a suggestion from former slip-and-fall lawyer turned congressman, Don McEachin.  Cam ends with this:

The truth is, the bills that have already been introduced are bad enough that we don’t need to invent any new ones. Here’s a partial list of the legislation Virginia’s anti-gun lawmakers, including Governor Northam, are considering:

• banning the most commonly produced and owned rifles in the United States
• banning magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition
• requiring background checks on most transfers of firearms
• fining gun owners who fail to report lost or stolen firearms
• prohibits individuals convicted of misdemeanor assault and battery of a family member from owning a gun.
• banning bump stocks and binary triggers
• turning state-owned and leased buildings into gun free zones
• rationing handgun purchases to one per month
• stripping parents of their ability to decide when their child is responsible enough to access a firearm.
• weakening firearms preemption law by allowing localities to ban firearms from permitted events.

Those are just the worst of the bills that have already been pre-filed before the legislative session begins in early January. Bills can be filed until January 17th, and we know that there will be more heading our way, including an Extreme Risk Protection Order or “red flag” firearms seizure bill. Second Amendment supporters need to be armed with the facts in the weeks ahead, because if we focus on the fictions, we’re only going to be hurting our ability to effectively push back on the infringements headed our way.

It doesn't help our cause if we just read parts of the bill and don't read the full bill in context.  Like Cam said, it's bad enough what Northam has said he want's to do, so we really don't need to misrepresent bills to make him look bad.
