Justice Dept vs Virginia on Gun Bans | Virginia Beach News

The Justice Department is suing Virginia over a new gun ban targeting semiautomatic weapons and high-capacity magazines — a move that could reshape Second Amendment rights nationwide. While the law wouldn’t touch existing firearms, federal officials argue it violates constitutional protections, while Virginia’s AG calls it a commonsense safety measure. Two judges have blocked the law, but Virginia is appealing — and the Supreme Court is already preparing to weigh in on similar bans in Illinois and Connecticut, signaling a brewing national showdown over gun control.
