Traffic

As we reported back on Nov. 25, OmniRide Director Bob Schneider says these changes — for the first time — are targeted to those who use the buses to get around town, and not only for those who rely on them to ferry them to and from Arlington and Washington, D.C.

Here’s what OmniRide had to say today about the upcoming changes:

There are mounting calls from conservatives to make Prince William and Stafford counties so-called 2nd-Amendment Sanctuaries, where the right to bear arms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution will be upheld.

It comes as Virginia Senator Richard Saslaw (D-Falls Church) has introduced SB-16 into the record for the upcoming 2020 session of the General Assembly, which begins January 8. The bill calls for making selling, renting, trading, making, or transporting an assault rifle from another state into Virginia a felony. It also aims to limit the number of rounds in a shotgun magazine to seven.
