\u201cGOA, GOF, & @VCDL_ORG\u2018s VA Assault Weapons Ban case has been unjustly stayed & our Friday hearing canceled,\u201d GOA said. \u201cThis is a disappointing action by the court & we are exploring avenues to continue to protect gun owners from this law\u2019s implementation in just a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the filing, GOA criticized attorneys from the office of Democratic Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones for delaying their response to the initial motion.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOn May 18, 2026, Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction (the \u2018Motion\u2019), seeking temporary injunctive relief to protect countless Virginians from the irreparable harm that the Challenged Statutes will immediately inflict beginning on July 1,\u201d GOA\u2019s brief said, later adding, \u201cDespite having had Plaintiffs\u2019 Motion for nearly a month, Defendant waited until June 8 to file a lengthy brief and voluminous exhibits in response to the Motion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed their in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.<\/p>\n

Virginia suffered a legal defeat on June 4 when a judge reaffirmed an injunction blocking the state from implementing its \u201cuniversal background check\u201d law. Virginia had attempted to enforce the law after Spanberger signed emergency legislation.<\/p>\n
