A Virginia Senate committee on Monday advanced seven House bills related to firearms restrictions that are now set to face a full vote on the Senate floor this week.
The seven bills were among a package of eight gun violence prevention legislation that Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam (D) had announced in a July 2019 special legislative session of the Virginia Assembly after a shooting at Virginia Beach that killed 12 people on May 31, 2019. That meeting ended without a vote and was adjourned to Nov. 18, 2019.
