Gun Bills Advancing in House
This morning the Militia, Police, and Public Safety committee voted
the following bills out of committee:
HB 1655, Delegate Carrico, would put teeth in firearms preemption law
Voting pro-gun:
Sherwood, Griffith, Kilgore, Wright, Carrico, Lingamfelter, Nutter,
Athey, Janis, Cline, Gilbert, Poindexter, Merricks, Barlow, Shuler,
Lewis, Miller, P.J., Tyler, Bowling
Voting anti-gun:
Scott, J.M., Poisson, Herring
-
HB 1851, Delegate Lingamfelter, would exempt active duty military from
One Handgun A Month
Voting pro-gun:
Sherwood, Griffith, Kilgore, Wright, Carrico, Lingamfelter, Nutter,
Athey, Janis, Cline, Gilbert, Poindexter, Merricks, Barlow, Shuler,
Lewis, Miller, P.J., Tyler, Bowling
Voting anti-gun:
Scott, J.M., Poisson, Herring
-
HB 2528, Delegate Cole, would require localities to sell guns bought
from a "gun buy-up" to FFLs
Voting pro-gun:
Sherwood, Griffith, Kilgore, Wright, Carrico, Lingamfelter, Nutter,
Athey, Janis, Cline, Gilbert, Poindexter, Merricks, Barlow, Shuler,
Lewis, Miller, P.J., Bowling
Voting anti-gun:
Scott, J.M., Poisson, Tyler, Herring
-
HB 2144, Delegate Nutter, would keep the Virginia State Police from
providing personal information on CHP holders. This bill STILL allows
courts to release that same information for a local area. We will
continue to fight to make this bill include courts if it gets to the
Senate.
-
HB 2178, Delegate E.T. Scott, would make it a crime for a convicted
felon to have ammunition in his possession. Bill was changed to
reduce the penalty from a felony to a class 1 misdemeanor. It also
was changed to exempt ammo used in antique firearms. We continue to
oppose this bill as it applies to even non-violent felons who have
been clean for years.
-
Bill that has cleared committee and is on the House Floor:
HB 2136, Delegate Jackson Miller, would allow police to arrest someone
at will for a class 1 or class 2 misdemeanor passed House and goes to
Senate now. We will fight it in Senate.
-
Bill that has passed the Senate and headed to the House:
HB 1254, Senator Marsh, requires out of state permits to be presented
with yet another photo ID. We will fight this in the House.
-
Bills that cleared committee and are on the Senate Floor:
HB 1166, Senator Watkins, raises background check tax on guns from $2
to $5. If this passes the Senate, we will fight this in the House.
SB 1383, Senator Stolle, repeals Virginia's silence law since the list
of registered silencer owners is controlled by the federal government
and Virginia can't enforce that law
SB 1431, Senator Cuccinelli, would keep Virginia from participating in
REAL ID act
-
Bill that cleared subcommittee and is going to full committee in the
Senate:
SB 1513, Senator Smith, would put teeth in firearms preemption law
(same as Delegate Carrico's HB 1655)
-
Speaker Howell has raised his magic wand and the following bills are
going to disappear into thin air in the House, never to be seen
again. Four pro-gun bills and one anti-gun bill:
HB 1656, Delegate Bob Marshall, would allow full-time faculty members
at state institutions of higher learning to carry a concealed handgun
on campus if they have a CHP
HB 1734, Delegate Pogge, cleanup bill on CHP items
HB 1821, Delegate Johnson, restaurant ban repeal
HB 1822, Delegate Johnson, would allow CHP holders to carry on K-12
school property
HB 2631, Delegate Caputo, would require private sales at gun shows in
Fairfax County go through a dealer
