Last month, Virginia became the 12th state to enact an "assault weapon" ban, which Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed into law on April 13. That new law is plainly unconstitutional, the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and two other Second Amendment groups argue in McDonald v. Katz, a lawsuit they filed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
"Spanberger's insane law criminalizes constitutionally protected conduct and bans arms the Second Amendment protects," said FPC President Brandon Combs. "We're going to force Governor Spanberger and other government thugs to follow the Constitution and respect the Second Amendment, full stop."
