Judge halts all enforcement of Virginia’s assault weapons sale and purchase ban
A Virginia judge blocked enforcement of a new assault weapons ban, citing violations of the state's 1971 constitutional right to bear arms. The injunction remains in effect until July 1, 2027, or until a final court decision, as Virginia's attorney general announced plans to appeal.
