Delegates committee kills pair of gun bills
RICHMOND -- A House of Delegates committee effectively killed a pair of gun control bills on Friday - one that would have kept domestic abusers from owning firearms and one that would allow local school boards to enforce zero-tolerance firearms policies on school property.

"one that would have kept domestic abusers from owning firearms"

that it occurs to that its ALREADY AGAINST FEDERAL LAW for convicted domestic abusers to own firearm/posses firearms?


That considered, I don't see alot of problem with that being "killed".

7. The article states...
that it's hard for the State to get the Feds to prosecute. But that's EXACTLY what Project Exile does....gets Federal prosecutors to work with State prosecutors to bring charges in violations of Federal law.
