On January 23rd, the Washington Senate Law & Justice Committee approved three anti-gun bills, among them Senate Bill 6077 to ban most standard capacity magazines. These bills are now headed to the Rules Committee awaiting being pulled to the Senate floor. In addition, the House of Representatives passed House Bill 1010 to allow the state patrol to destroy confiscated firearms, clearing the way to send this bill to the Senate. 

On January 24th at 8AM, the Virginia House Public Safety Committee will be hearing a number of anti-gun bills. As with the Senate, the committee may take action on these bills immediately after hearing them.

On January 22nd, the Virginia Senate voted to pass Senate Bill 240 to suspend Second Amendment rights and confiscate firearms without sufficient due process. It will now move to the House of Delegates for further consideration. That evening, the Senate Judiciary Committee rejected a number of bills to impose harsher penalties on criminals and chose instead to approve more restrictions on your constitutional right to protect yourself and your loved ones.
