Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) signed legislation on Monday banning the import, sale, manufacture, purchase, and transfer of “assault weapons” in Virginia, as well as prohibiting the sale of high-capacity magazines in the state. 

Spanberger put pen to paper just shy of a midnight deadline to either approve or veto a series of bills, several of which focused on what she dubbed “commonsense gun safety laws.”
