House Committee Forwards Gun Control Bills
Inlcudes Red Flag Law
Andy Doernen/Newsradio WRVA
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Democrats in the State House are advancing a package of gun-control measures less than a week after tens of thousands of pro-gun advocates from around the country rallied at the state Capitol. But the bills did not include a proposed assault weapon ban, a top priority for Gov. Ralph Northam and one that's drawn fierce resistance from gun-rights advocates.
A Democratic-led House committee voted Friday for several pieces of gun legislation that a Republican majority has blocked for years. Those bills include limiting handgun purchases to once a month and universal background checks on gun purchases.
The committee also forwarded the House's version of a "red flag" law.
