Excerpts from article:
...This is Chris Riotta on the ground in Richmond, Virginia, where the annual Lobby Day demonstrations are set to begin momentarily.
...This year will likely prove to be one of the more contentious demonstrations of its kind, as it arrives just days after a series of gun control measures were passed in the state Senate, mostly along party lines.
...The bills are the result of a Democratic takeover in both house of the Virginia legislature - the first time that's happened in about 25 years.
...To be clear, some of the most controversial gun control bills did not advance to the state Senate and were effectively killed before they could become law.
...The three bills that did pass are SB 70, which establishes mandatory background checks, SB 69, which limits the individual purchasing of firearms to once a month, and SB 35, which provides local governments the ability to ban the possession of firearms in public during permitted events.
