Today, a bill to ban "assault weapons" was voted out of committee in the Virginia Senate-- and it essentially makes gun ownership illegal in the commonwealth.
Its author is State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim, who was born in Bangladesh.
In Virginia's code, an "assault weapon" is defined as "any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles."
The bill makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to possess or sell an assault weapon under this definition-- as well as any magazine that holds over 10 rounds.
Most firearms fit under this definition.
If signed into law, it would turn millions of law abiding gun owners in Virginia into felons with the stroke of a pen.
