Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed SB 749 into law on Thursday, May 14, making Virginia one of the latest states to enact an “assault weapons” ban—joining at least ten others, with Rhode Island’s own ban also set to take effect July 1, 2026. Within hours, the law was hit with two separate legal challenges filed on parallel tracks—one in state court under the Virginia Constitution, one in federal court under the Second Amendment. The July 1 effective date means both cases are on an emergency footing from the start. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
