Virginia is banning the sale, purchase, and transfer of AR-15s and other so-called “assault firearms” on July 1st.

So what did Virginians do?

They bought a record number of them.

After Governor Spanberger signed SB 749, Virginia firearm background checks more than doubled compared to the same month last year — and the state ranked second in the entire country for rifle and shotgun-related checks, behind only Texas.

The politicians said they were going to get these rifles “off the streets.”

Virginians said, “Bet.”

That’s the part everybody is laughing about. But the bigger issue is what comes next.

Because this ban lets people keep what they already own — for now.

And that phrase matters.

Sales ban today. Registry tomorrow. Confiscation talk later. That’s how these things move: one “reasonable step” at a time.

Virginia tried to ban America’s most popular rifle, prosecutors are already refusing to enforce it, and the people responded the most American way possible — by clearing the shelves before the window closes.

@SawyerMerritt Hooray! The only drawback for me is that the service isn't available until 6 AM, which means I can't use it for red-eye flights.
