A Virginia state senate committee voted on Monday to delay a bill that would have banned the sale of certain semi-automatic weapons, in a significant setback for gun-control measures pushed by Governor Ralph Northam
.
The bill in question, known as HB961, would have banned the sale of semi-automatic rifles it considered “assault weapons,” including the popular AR-15 rifle, as well as the possession of magazines with a capacity over 12 rounds. Previous attempts to enact an “assault weapons” ban have also failed to clear the State Judiciary Committee.
