Yesterday ALL the anti-gun bills were killed in committee. One pro-gun bill was passed on.
Bear in mind this about Virginia's State Government:
The General Assembly meets annually, beginning on the second Wednesday in January, for 60 days in even-numbered years and for 30 days in odd-numbered years, with an option to extend annual sessions for a maximum of 30 days. The Senate of Virginia and the Virginia House of Delegates, both bodies of the Virginia Legislature, meet in the historic, working Capitol building in Richmond, Virginia.
Things move at a really fast pace in the G.A.
