virginia senate proceeds with a red flag gun law

The Virginia Senate is proceeding with a red flag gun law despite the rally on Monday in Richmond. The legislation would allow authorities to take guns away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others. The Democratic-led Senate gave preliminary approval to the law. Republicans criticized the bill as an assault on gun rights and civil liberties. The Democrats say the bill was a thoughtful measure that would preserve due process while also protecting people against potential gun violence. The measure is set for a final vote in the Senate before going to the house.
