Virginia Gun Control Bills (9:15–17:56): Cam Edwards joins the discussion to detail several pre-filed gun control bills in Virginia, highlighting their impact:
- House Bill 271 (10:39–10:57): Bans certain semi-automatic firearms and arbitrarily limits magazine capacities, redefining common firearms as “assault firearms.”
- House Bill 207 (10:58–11:11): Creates a $500 tax on firearm suppressors, viewed as a cash grab.
- Senate Bill 27 and House Bill 21 (11:12–11:47): Establish new standards for the firearm industry, allowing lawsuits against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
- Senate Bill 38 and House Bill 93 (11:48–12:05): Expand prohibited persons to include those living with someone who is prohibited and expand prohibited categories for misdemeanors.
- House Bill 24 (12:11–12:17): Jeopardizes concealed handgun recognition and reciprocity agreements, particularly impacting states without training requirements like Georgia.

- Redefinition of “Assault Firearm” (17:08–17:24, 23:31–25:52): The hosts discuss how the new definition of “assault firearm” would include handguns accepting detachable magazines with over 10 rounds, potentially criminalizing many current gun owners.
