    Four Dems (probably most worried about getting re-elected) joined the Republicans in voting down the bill.

    Other gun control bills have made it through both House and Senate. These include banning guns in certain areas and buildings, universal background checks, limits on how frequently people can buy handguns and red flag laws.

    oldag,

    Having been stationed & lived in VA for a total of nearly 2 decades, I suspect that 2020 will see a LOT of "gun-grabbers" & LIBs voted OUT everywhere but Arlington County & the city of Alexandria.

    Elsewhere in VA, a "D" after the candidate's name will be "the kiss of death".

    yours, satx.

    oldag, All,

    Look for another guy like DOUG WILDER was to "magically appear" in VA politics & WIN the Statehouse.
    (YEP, we could still put the "strange coalition of SCV members, 'Old Dixie patriots', 'rural nobodies', 'ignorant hillbillies', US veterans & Blacks" back together, IF such a man/woman "appeared".)

    I won't bore everyone with how we DEFEATED & "came close to destroying" the "VA democrat machine" forever but IF you want to know the REAL STORY, get/read the book, WHEN HELL FROZE OVER: The Untold Story of Doug Wilder, a Black Politician's Rise to Power in the South, by Dwayne Yancey.
    (Ebay.com & amazon.com usually have at least one copy for sale at a reasonable price OR order it through ILL.)

    ADDENDA: I knew Governor Wilder VERY WELL when I was stationed in "Southside Virginia". - Fwiw, NOBODY sings DIXIE louder or more "off key" than Doug & I do. = Neither of us can "carry a tune" in a 5-gallon bucket.
    (We were actually asked, at a large CSA Memorial ceremony in Richmond, to NOT sing by the "Mistress of Ceremonies", as she said, "Please just stand quietly at attention, as I've heard the 2 of you try to sing". ====>BOTH of us LOL at her comment.)

    yours, satx
