RICHMOND, VA – Delegate Mark Levine’s House Bill 961 is on the docket to be heard at the House Public Safety Committee Hearing on Friday, February 7th at 8:00 AM. The American Suppressor Association will be on hand to testify in opposition to the bill. The hearing will take place in House Room 1 of the General Assembly Building. If passed out of committee, the House of Delegates will have until Tuesday, February 11th to pass this legislation prior to the crossover deadline.
House Bill 961 seeks to ban the sale of suppressors, standard capacity magazines, and “assault firearms” in Virginia. If enacted as currently drafted, Virginians in lawful possession of suppressors would be required to destroy them, transfer them out of state, or surrender them to state or local law enforcement by January 1st, 2021. Any civilian caught importing, selling, transferring, manufacturing, purchasing, possessing, or transporting a suppressor after that date would be charged with a Class 6 felony.
The American Suppressor Association needs your help to ensure that this bill fails!
