A video is going viral on social media showing pro-gun activists handing out free 30-round AR-15 magazines outside the Virginia State Capitol, in a direct challenge to pending legislation set to ban the sale of such magazines in the state.
The distribution occurred ahead of the expected signature of a bill that would prohibit the sale of high-capacity magazines in Virginia, marking a significant policy shift for the state. The activist giveaway represented an apparent attempt to circumvent the incoming ban by placing magazines in circulation before the law took effect in July, Raw Story reported.
