Summary
The Governor says you can keep your AR-15. She also says you can't carry it, transfer it, or, in some readings, even transport it. Grandfathering isn't freedom if the firearm becomes a museum piece in your own safe. Let's walk through and clarify what this law actually says, because the text and the press conference are two very different things.

| 0:00.0 | Well, ladies and gentlemen, once again, the thing that nobody wants to do, the thing that isn't |
| 0:05.6 | actually happening, right? They do want to do and it is happening in Virginia right now. And oh, |
| 0:10.2 | by the way, like most things going on with the Democrats in Virginia right now, they want to |
| 0:14.0 | use it as a template for the rest of the country. So what are they doing? Well, they just passed |
| 0:20.2 | an assault weapons ban, which most of |
| 0:22.2 | which or part of which goes into effect July 1, some of it is going into effect immediately. |
| 0:27.5 | So let's be honest and upfront about what they actually did. Did Virginia pass a law where they're |
| 0:32.0 | going to go into your homes and confiscate your assault weapons or high capacity magazines. No, they did something |
| 0:38.9 | in the way banned the manufacturer, sale, transfer, in some cases, transportation, |
| 0:44.1 | that the language is a little bit ambiguous. So that's what they've done. That's what |

| 1:12.0 | with a belt of ammunition and he is just laying down waste, right? |
| 1:15.7 | That's in their mind what an assault weapon is. |
| 1:18.6 | Let me tell you what an assault weapon is according to the definition of Virginia. |
| 1:22.5 | Or maybe I should show you first because that'll give you a really good idea here. |
| 1:25.8 | So an assault weapon is anything that has one of these and a detachable magazine. |
| 1:33.3 | Yeah. |
