The Virginia House of Delegates approved an assault weapons ban on a party line vote Friday.

Fairfax County Democratic Del. Dan Helmer’s bill would end the sale and transfer of assault firearms manufactured after July 1, 2024. It also prohibits the sale of certain large capacity magazines.

“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said.

    Not who you’re arguing with, but I am who you initially replied to.

    I never said a rifle needed more ammo than a pistol, and you’re claiming I did. I only addressed handguns in my comment. So maybe there’s some accuracy to the claim you are framing your reply before reading the comments…

    Also, an AR-15 is a .22 inch (22 caliber) carbine. It’s not a .22lr carbine (though I have BCG replacement that let’s me run .22lr through it for cheaper plinking).
