The Virginia House of Delegates voted Monday to delay the effective date of a ban on carrying modern semiautomatic firearms after suffering a defeat in court.<\/p>\n

A judge in Lancaster County, Virginia, issued a preliminary injunction Friday following legal action by pro-Second Amendment organizations. The Virginia state legislators passed the amendment, which was included among recommendations by Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, by a 56-34 vote Monday.

\u201cIt is delaying the prohibition on CARRYING an \u2018assault firearm\u2019 in public for a year,\u201d Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) President Philip Van Cleave told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cYou still won\u2019t be able to buy them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust days after GOA, @GunFoundation, & @VCDL_ORG secured a preliminary injunction against Virginia\u2019s \u2018assault weapons\u2019 carry ban, the Assembly voted to delay implementation of the gun ban until 2027,\u201d Gun Owners of America (GOA) posted. \u201cThey\u2019ve already lost the fight and they know it.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Spanberger signed the ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons,\u201d SB 749, and the \u201ccarry ban\u201d into law on May 14, drawing immediate\u00a0suits\u00a0from pro-Second Amendment organizations. In addition to the ban on so-called \u201cassault weapons,\u201d the bill Spanberger signed also would outlaw standard-capacity magazines, setting an arbitrary limit of 15 rounds as of July 1.<\/p>\n

Spanberger included a provision to delay the implementation of the carry ban by one year in her amendments to the state budget during a special legislative session.<\/p>\n

The Lancaster County judge blocked the ban on modern semiautomatic firearms through Dec. 31 in his ruling. The NRA heralded a statewide injunction issued by Washington County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Campbell in a Monday post on X.<\/p>\n

Gun owners in Virginia were racing to purchase modern semiautomatic firearms before the ban took effect, with Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson taking to X Sunday to complain about delays while tagging Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust visited my neighborhood gun dealer in Virginia. The Virginia State Police @VSPPIO is delaying background checks en masse in one of the most flagrant violations of our rights that I\u2019ve seen,\u201d Ferguson posted. \u201cThis is outrageous. Our police are aiding radical leftists to disarm Americans. Thankfully, we have @AAGDhillon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe VSP Firearms Transaction Center is currently experiencing a high volume of transactions and is working diligently to process them as quickly as possible,\u201d Virginia State Police Public Relations Director Robin Lawson told the DCNF. \u201cIn June alone, the Firearms Transaction Center has completed more than 100,000 transactions and is averaging over 5,000 transactions per day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Van Cleave told the DCNF he did not attribute the situation to malice by the Virginia State Police. (RELATED: Some Democrats Apparently Don\u2019t Understand Basics About Gun Ban They Rammed Through State Legislature)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMy gut feeling is, and also talking to some dealers and stuff, I think it\u2019s just sheer volume of what\u2019s happening now,\u201d Van Cleave said. \u201cOne person, one dealer that talked to the state police was told, well, the other problem that they had was this is a temporary spike, so to train more people to help during this time takes months and so they didn\u2019t feel like they could make that huge investment just for a few weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ferguson did not respond to multiple requests for comment from the DCNF.<\/p>\n
