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.
