Virginia lawmakers passed strict gun control, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, now heading to the Senate.
The Virginia House of Delegates passed a sweeping package of gun control measures on February 5, 2026, including a ban on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines, stricter firearm storage rules, penalties for unattended guns in vehicles, and new liability for gun manufacturers.
The legislation, supported by Democrats and gun safety advocates, now moves to the Senate, where differences between House and Senate versions may require reconciliation.
Republicans opposed the bills, citing Second Amendment concerns and potential legal challenges, while some Democratic lawmakers expressed reservations over overreach.
The outcome hinges on further legislative action.
