Virginia’s Democrat-led Senate has approved a range of gun control bills which would ban most firearms from public college campuses. The bill will go to the GOP-controlled House next.
Democrat-led Virginia Senate panel
"Make no mistake, these bills that we advanced today will save lives and hopefully provide a layer of comfort or peace of mind to those who are very well aware of the gun problem we have in our society," Democratic Sen. Creigh Deeds, a co-chair of the committee, said in a statement.

A Democrat-led Virginia Senate panel has approved a range of gun control bills which will now head to the GOP-controlled House where it faces uncertain prospects. Opponents said the measure would infringe on parents' ability to make the decision about when a child is responsible enough to access a gun and could hinder families' right to self defense inside their own home, citing cases in which children with firearms have deterred home invasions.
The judiciary committee also advanced a bill from Deeds, whose district includes Charlottesville, that would prohibit guns from, with an exception for firearms used for an authorized activity like ROTC.
