The Virginia House of Delegates approved an assault weapons ban on a party line vote Friday.

Fairfax County Democratic Del. Dan Helmer’s bill would end the sale and transfer of assault firearms manufactured after July 1, 2024. It also prohibits the sale of certain large capacity magazines.

“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said.

    Do you think this logic should be used for statutory rape laws? Should we let the experts in having sex with children write them because surely nobody else could get it right?]

    what an absurd false equivolency. The person you are replying to is saying that we shouldn’t be forcing through bad laws written by lawmakers who don’t understand the specifics of the thing they are crafting law for, and your response is to say that we shouldn’t use pedos to write child sex laws?

    We should just pass laws on feelings and not specifics?

    It’s a person on social media making a comment. It’s not even actual legislation.

    This is absolutely about actual legislation
