The Virginia Senate rejected the governor’s amendments to a bill that restricts the gun rights of anyone convicted for assault and battery of a family member.

A new bill passed by the Virginia General Assembly would take away gun rights for those convicted of certain domestic violence crimes. “While I would have preferred it to include intimate partners, this is an important step for this bill which we have work on together for so many years,” said Murphy. The bill passed in both the House and the Senate and will now head to Gov. Anyone in violation of the proposed law could face a class one misdemeanor charge.
