Ahead of the Upcoming VA Assault Weapons Ban, I Think I’ve Everything I Immediately Need

I mainly focused on obtaining magazines. I now have an adequate (barely) number of magazines for my 2011s and AR15.

I don’t have many for the Kuna, but I plan to buy a Nexus lower for it, so that I can use my CZ Scorpion mags (I’ve a ton of those).

I don’t need anything else. I’d have preferred to have had the time to buy a few more PCCs, but VA has run out of time for that. PCCs, AKs, and ARs will have to wait until we move out of VA (that’ll occur within the next 2-3 years).

Most VA folks are also focusing on SBRs and suppressors, but none of the upcoming new laws have anything to do with NFA items. I have no real need for SBRs or suppressors, and I’m not wanting to even jump through the hoops of obtaining either one of those parts.

As many firearms-associated companies appear to be telling Virginians that they’re no longer going to ship merchandise to VA, I’m not even sure how that will affect obtaining wear items such as firing pins, magazine internals, and recoil springs. I’ve many guns, so I’m not going to be stocking up on spare gun parts for all of them. I’ll just have to find companies that are willing to sell/ship to VA citizens.

For those of you that live in VA, please consider donating to the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and the Gun Onwers of America (GOA). Those three organizations have been doing good work for Virginia citizens and it takes money to help them help us.

2A 9th Ciruit California high capacity magazine ban RKBA

9th Circuit Court ends California’s ban on high capacity magazines!

 I logged onto Facebook today and saw a post on one of the citizen defense groups that the 9th Circuit Court has ended the ban on high capacity magazines in CA.  I thought it was relating to older articles or that it was a troll post, but when I searched on it via Google, the below showed:

The article I’m reading was published by the San Diego Union Tribune.  

An excerpt:

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday threw out California’s ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines, saying the law violates the U.S. Constitution’s protection of the right to bear firearms.

“Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,” Appellate Judge Kenneth Lee wrote for the panel’s majority. California’s ban on magazines holding more than 10 bullets “strikes at the core of the Second Amendment — the right to armed self-defense.”
