Covington VA –-(Ammoland.com)- Today, in the Courts of Justice committee, anti-gun Senator Marsh’s SB 1001, a bill to close the non-existent “gun show loophole” (VCDL STRONGLY OPPOSE), was KILLED by a vote of 8 to 7!
There were many changes suggested to the bill, but in the end the clock ran out for this year.
