Reduce gun violence through universal background checks; extreme risk laws and one handgun per month purchase limitation.
Gun safety, long a priority of Virginia voters and the Coalition, became more urgent after the tragedy in Virginia Beach. HB 2 takes the first important step to close loopholes on universal background checks and firearms transfers. Bill patron, Delegate Kenneth R. Plum, reminds us,"We in Virginia have felt the sting of gun violence, all the way back to Virginia Tech. The voters want us to do something about the increasing gun violence, as has been indicated by public polling."
