Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of America, and VCDL have secured a preliminary injunction in Crump v. Katz, our lawsuit against Virginia’s so-called Assault Weapons Ban! This injunction prevents the Virginia State Police from enforcing the challenged gun and magazine bans while our case continues through the court system. As it currently stands, the temporary injunction extends the enforcement date from July 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026. This is a major victory for Virginia gun owners. SB749 and SB727 threatened law-abiding Virginians with criminal penalties for acquiring, transferring, manufacturing, importing, or publicly carrying many commonly owned firearms and magazines holding more than 15 rounds. Today’s ruling blocks enforcement of those unconstitutional bans while GOA and our allies continue fighting to defeat them for good. We expect an appeal from the Commonwealth, but for now, Virginia gun owners have won a critical victory. |
