The legislation, which takes effect on July 1, defines 'assault firearms' as semi-automatic rifles or pistols with a magazine capacity of more than 15 rounds, among other characteristics. The law marks a significant policy shift from the previous Republican administration and aligns Virginia with other Democratic-led states like California and New York.

Virginia Governor Announces Use of Old Congressional Map for 2026 Midterms Amid Redistricting Dispute

Virginia Governor Announces Use of Old Congressional Map for 2026 Midterms Amid Redistricting Dispute

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger announced that the state will conduct its 2026 congressional elections using the existing 2021 map. This decision comes as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to pause a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that nullified a voter-approved redistricting referendum. The referendum, which was passed by a majority of voters, aimed to redraw the state's congressional map to counteract Republican gerrymandering in other states. However, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled the process unconstitutional. The proposed Democratic map could have shifted the balance to a 10-1 Democratic advantage, but the current map maintains a 6 Democratic, 5 Republican delegation. Spanberger expressed disappointment with the court's decision but emphasized the importance of focusing on upcoming elections.

Virginia is facing a lawsuit challenging its new law that bans the importation, manufacturing, sale, purchase, and transfer of semiautomatic firearms and high-capacity magazines. The National Rifle Association, along with two Virginia residents and other Second Amendment advocates, filed the suit against state officials in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
