In line with a key campaign pledge, Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently unveiled a series initiatives aimed at preventing gun violence. Included in McAuliffe’s proposals are closing the so-called “gun show loophole,” re-implementing the state’s one-handgun-per-month rule, prohibiting the possession of firearms for people subject to protective order and granting the Virginia State Police authority to process voluntary background checks. The governor also recommends revoking concealed handgun permits for parents delinquent on child support payments and curbing unlawful firearm purchases by clarifying what information can be displayed by gun show vendors.
