THE ARTICLE BELOW IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG WITH THE SUBMERGED PART TO FOLLOW:

Ongoing response and an alternative to SB 16

At an NRA rally in Richmond later on Monday, both Senator Mark Obenshain and Delegate Todd Gilbert spoke against the gun control bills that are moving forward.

To protest SB 16 specifically, the National Rifle Association had announced over the weekend that they would be distributing 30-round magazines, provided through a partnership with Magpul, at Virginia's capitol building during Monday's hearings.

While SB 16 is effectively dead, a bill nearly identical to it remains on the other side of the General Assembly. As of Jan. 13, House Bill 961 has yet to be referred to a specific committee for any future action.
