The governor specifically stated that there would be a grandfather clause.

I would appreciate a reputable link to the restrictions you have cited, I can't find any.

Edit: not trying to be a dick with the "reputable" comment but there's a ton of bullshit that comes up when you try and Google Virginia gun laws now.

You can read through the main bill here:

Okay, reading the definition there, it's a semi-auto with a fixed magazine that can take 10+ rounds and has one banned feature, or a semi-auto with any size detachable magazine with one banned feature.

Clicking on the link in the bill for the definition of assault weapon takes you to some law about street sweepers, scroll all the way to the bottom for the proposed definition.

Got it. Yeah that's a pretty broad definition, possibly more restrictive than CA? I haven't lived there in over a decade. I can't see that passing in current form.

It's VA so anything can happen, even with a majority in both houses. I'd personally like to see universal background checks pass, and I'm not frightened of cosmetic feature bans due to a childhood on the west coast where I still managed to hunt/shoot a shitload of guns without my freedoms being tread upon

If the goal is to prevent new weapons being brought into the state, I’m all ears as to how they could implement grandfathering without registration.

I know a lot of people feel this way, and I don't blame them at all, but watching some people (not here) use this as a second round excuse as to why he shouldn't be subpoenaed is incredibly dumb. Like full on using it as a cover for why the House was right to not subpoena him. It's loving stupid.

Call him to testify and see what happens.

I imagine most of them are smart enough to not lie, just a whole shitload of "Not to my recollection, Senator" and "I cannot recall, Senator"

That being said Bolton could walk up and lead them in a sing along of the Animaniacs theme song and nothing would happen to him

Nuclear proliferation in itself is bad. That being said, we regularly rattle the saber by spending hundreds of billions on conventional warfare and no one can afford to match that its the only parity option available.

There is no legit reason beyond proliferation in general is bad. Nobody should have the loving bomb, and the more who have it, the higher the risk of someone setting off a nuclear war.

The anti-proliferation stance makes sense, but that isn't the stance of most who are against it.
I'm just trying to figure out the mental math that we use to decide who is allowed and who isn't
