A handful of gun control bills have recently been approved by Virginia’s General Assembly and will now head to Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk for signing, despite strong opposition from Second Amendment advocates and gun rights groups.

Five bills, part of a larger group of eight gun control proposals also known as the “Governor’s Package,” are expected to be signed by Northam after passage by state legislators. The bills will officially become law with Northam’s signature.
