Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed a series of gun control bills on Friday that include legislation regulating firearm manufacturers’ liability, ghost guns, and partners of individuals charged with misdemeanor domestic violence.
The legislation, approved by Virginia’s Democratic-controlled General Assembly, includes a bill that allows gun manufacturers and dealers to be held legally accountable for “negligent” business practices leading to gun violence, a move gun rights activists call dangerous.
