As a longtime red state that is home to the National Rifle Association headquarters, Virginia was once a haven for gun owners. But the commonwealth rapidly trended from purple to blue over the last 15 years as the growing population of the liberal Washington suburbs overwhelmed its more conservative rural parts. Now that Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam survived his blackface scandal and his party has gained complete control of the legislature, he believes that it’s open season on gun rights.

The Democrat-controlled state Senate has already advanced bills enacting so-called universal background checks, a “red flag” gun confiscation law, a provision allowing gun bans on government property, and a cap on handgun purchases to one per month. They’re also likely to advance a ban on the sale of certain “assault” weapons.
