Virginia A Step Away From Stricter Gun Laws

The Virginia state senate passed tougher gun laws to keep fire arms out of the hands of people deemed dangerous. The bill must now be approved by the House.

Virginia’s Democratic legislators are looking to tighten gun laws. The state Senate passed legislation Wednesday that would allow authorities to take guns away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others.  Republican Senators fiercely opposed the legislation. GOP Senator Amanda Chase called supporters of the legislation “traitors” and said the proposed law would embolden criminals and hurt law-abiding citizens. The bill now moves to the House.
