"Virginia Governor Youngkin Vetoes Dozens of Gun Bills and Signs Two, Amending Six"

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has vetoed an assault weapons ban and several other gun-control bills while signing two firearm-related measures into law, including one that bans a device turning a semiautomatic firearm into a machine gun and another that allows a parent or guardian to be charged with a felony for allowing a child deemed a threat to have access to a gun. The actions have sparked mixed reactions, with gun-control advocates expressing disappointment and gun rights groups remaining relatively quiet.
