A host of gun control laws, passed months ago and spearheaded by Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, took effect on Wednesday in the commonwealth after months of fierce opposition from pro-firearm groups.
Northam signed the slew of gun restrictions in April after they passed the state’s General Assembly, where Democrats hold the majority, USA Today reported. The lawmakers faced dissent from over 20,000 angry citizens — many of whom were heavily armed — in the state’s capital in late January, according to Fox News.
Virginia Citizens Defense League, a Second Amendment group, gained thousands of members amid the gun-control deliberations in the assembly, and sued to block one of the regulations, which limited firearm purchasers to one handgun per month. A judge denied their request last week, the Daily Press reported.
????BREAKING????
A judge has DENIED the gun lobby’s attempt to block the one-handgun-a-month law. A huge win for public safety. Proud we could successfully defend this commonsense law to reduce gun trafficking and keep Virginians safe. — Mark Herring (@MarkHerringVA) June 25, 2020
“We lose too many Virginians to gun violence, and it is past time we took bold, meaningful action to make our communities safer,” Northam said in a press release in April. “I was proud to work with legislators and advocates on these measures, and I am proud to sign them into law. These commonsense laws will save lives.”
These regulations come amid nationwide unrest following the death of George Floyd, who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for over eight mutes, video showed. Gun sales have skyrocketed to record levels, following mass violence from demonstrators, according to PBS News.
Here are the new laws passed by Northam:
1. Virginians are only allowed one handgun purchase a month.
This is not a new law, but a reinstatement of an old ordinance, which ran 1993 to 2012. The aim is to disallow the stockpiling of pistols and dissuade gun trafficking, according to a press release.
2. Gun owners are subject to a red flag law.
The Extreme Risk Protective Order allows the state to “temporarily separate a person from their firearms when they represent a danger to themselves or others” before seeing a judge in court, according to the press release.
3. Background checks are mandated on all firearm sales and transfers (also known as universal background checks).
All firearm sellers, including private transactions at gun shows, must run background checks, the release said.
4. Gun owners have 48 hours to report a lost or stolen firearm.
Gun owners whose firearms were misplaced or stolen can face civil penalties if they don’t report the matter to authorities within two days, the release said.
5. Guns in households with children must be securely stored.
Gun owners will face a harsher penalty if they “recklessly” keep firearms in a home with children under the age of 14, according to the press release. The offense was increased to a class 1 misdemeanor, which carries jail time as a possible penalty.
The law previously was a class 3 misdemeanor with a $500 fine.
6. One piece of signed legislation banned “trigger activators.”
Northam’s law bans “trigger activators,” which enable “more than one shot with the pull of the trigger,” according to the legislation.
Binary triggers fire a single projectile when the trigger is pulled in addition to another round when a shooter releases their finger from the trigger. These have been legal to own as they simulate automatic fire and don’t make a semi-automatic firearm fully automatic, according to Gun Mag Warehouse.
The Gun Owners of America, a pro-Second Amendment group said “The new law DOES NOT prohibit binary triggers,” according to a statement on their webpage. (RELATED: Rep. Matt Gaetz: ATF Secretly Looking Into Restricting Certain Pistol Braces)
7. Child care facilities must lock down firearms.
Family day homes, care facilities for children that aren’t blood related, must lock and secure all firearms during daily operations, according to Virginia legal text.
8. Some gun safes are exempt from sales tax.
Gun safes bought for a price less than $1,500 will not incur sales tax, one bill specified.
9. Those under the scrutiny of protective orders are required to promptly surrender their firearms.
Gun owners served with protective orders must turn their weapons over to the state within 24 hours of receiving the notice, another bill detailed. Protective orders refer to those who the state deems to be unfit to possess firearms or a concealed weapons permit.
10. Cities and counties have leeway in regulating firearms.
Different localities can impose their own regulations on where firearms can be carried. Public parks, event spaces, government buildings, and others locations are places that are fair game for banning carry, according to the Daily Press.

Rep. Andy Biggs And Neil Cavuto Duke It Out Over Masks: ‘If You Let Me Respond I Will Refute Every One Of Those Data Points’

Republican Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs engaged in a lengthy debate with Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto over mandatory masking requirements and the fight against COVID-19 .
The Thursday “ Your World with Neil Cavuto ” debate came as more southern and western states , including Texas , issue mandatory masking orders as an attempt to curb recent coronavirus spikes .
“ I have to tell you I ’ m reticent to believe that if masks work so well then why is L.A. spiking and surging with COVID cases where they ’ ve had a mandatory mask regulation in effect for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , responding to Cavuto ’ s question about whether masks should be required .
“ There is no empirical evidence that that is the case.
” After the Fox News anchor interrupted and insisted that many “ were ignoring ” the Los Angelas mask order , Biggs pointed to “ over 90 studies ” that all point to the n95 as the only one that actually “ has any efficacy.
” When Biggs criticized White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci ’ s various positions on the mask issue , Cavuto @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cases .
“ You have hospitalizations and ICU bed use , the highest of this crisis , ” Cavuto said .
“ Your people are listening to you and you ’ re saying we can ease up ?
” The Arizona congressman accused Cavuto of “ cherry-picking ” his data points .
“ I ’ m not cherry-picking anything !
” Cavuto exclaimed .
“ I ’ m telling you about the ICU bed uses .
I ’ m telling you about the hospital bed uses .
I ’ m not saying the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right now have the nation ’ s highest case load.
” “ If you let me respond I will refute every one of those data points , ” said Biggs .
“ We have the highest number perhaps on a per capita basis of new cases .
Those are mostly coming to age 20-44 brackets .
We have also had over the past few weeks a reduction in hospitalizations by almost 100 % , from 11.5 % , down to 5.6 today .
If you also take a look at the fatality rates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ % , just about 30 days ago now to right now at 2 % .
We have seen that transpire .
If you take a look at the 5,300 people that had been discharged from hospitals in the last 30 days and you look at the last eight days , what you would see is every day we ’ ve had an increase in the number of discharges .
We have actually had a reduction in the last two days in the ICU bed usage.
” The two then debated whether Trump ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ What I ’ m saying is , the task force may not be necessary anymore and what I ’ m saying is Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have undermined what this president is trying to do , ” Biggs insisted .
The segment ended with Biggs attempting to give “ the full picture ” of hospital bed usage but Cavuto running out of time .
( RELATED : ‘ I Think We Should Largely Be Left Free ’ : Rand Paul Sounds Off On Schools , Lockdowns , And Mandatory Masking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ analyst Dr. Marc Siegel explained the surge in hospitalizations in Texas as mostly being made up of people “ getting the elective surgeries they need – cancer operations , heart disease operations , hernia operations ” they hadn ’ t been able to receive during the COVID lockdowns .

WATCH:
When Biggs criticized White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci’s various positions on the mask issue, Cavuto cited Arizona’s current spike in cases.
“You have hospitalizations and ICU bed use, the highest of this crisis,” Cavuto said. “Your people are listening to you and you’re saying we can ease up?”
The Arizona congressman accused Cavuto of “cherry-picking” his data points.
“I’m not cherry-picking anything!” Cavuto exclaimed. “I’m telling you about the ICU bed uses. I’m telling you about the hospital bed uses. I’m not saying the whole state is a disaster, you right now have the nation’s highest case load.”
“If you let me respond I will refute every one of those data points,” said Biggs. “We have the highest number perhaps on a per capita basis of new cases. Those are mostly coming to age 20-44 brackets. We have also had over the past few weeks a reduction in hospitalizations by almost 100%, from 11.5%, down to 5.6 today. If you also take a look at the fatality rates, we have moved from over 4%, just about 30 days ago now to right now at 2%. We have seen that transpire. If you take a look at the 5,300 people that had been discharged from hospitals in the last 30 days and you look at the last eight days, what you would see is every day we’ve had an increase in the number of discharges. We have actually had a reduction in the last two days in the ICU bed usage.”
Cavuto pointed to the hospital bed usage rate approaching 90%, a “record high.”
The two then debated whether Trump’s task force had outlived its use.
“What I’m saying is, the task force may not be necessary anymore and what I’m saying is Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have undermined what this president is trying to do,” Biggs insisted.
The segment ended with Biggs attempting to give “the full picture” of hospital bed usage but Cavuto running out of time. (RELATED: ‘I Think We Should Largely Be Left Free’: Rand Paul Sounds Off On Schools, Lockdowns, And Mandatory Masking)
On Wednesday, Fox News medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel explained the surge in hospitalizations in Texas as mostly being made up of people “getting the elective surgeries they need – cancer operations, heart disease operations, hernia operations” they hadn’t been able to receive during the COVID lockdowns.

In an effort to combat COVID-19, NFL teams are likely to bring fewer than the regular 90 players they ordinarily bring to training camp, per league sources.
