Great news! On Tuesday, March 26, Governor Youngkin vetoed 30 bills that targeted law abiding gun owners, including measures that would have halted the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms. To date, the Governor has vetoed 32 such bills.
That said, the Governor also signed into law gun control bills HB22 and SB210 regarding auto sears, and SB44, regarding abuse and neglect of children; causing or enabling child to gain possession of a firearm, penalty. He also offered amendments to 6 gun control bills.
The Virginia General Assembly will reconvene on Wednesday, April 17 for consideration of the Governor's amendments and vetoes. With only a one member majority in each house, it is unlikely that the Democrats will be able to override any of Governor Youngkin's vetoes.
