... some goofy requirements for ID for "assault weapon" purchases ...

... requirements, which to my recollection were a legislative, knee-jerk reaction to the
1993 shootings at CIA Headquarters. I believe the legislation was 'sold' by the gun-grabbing Wilder regime as preventing the lawful possession of an AK-47 ...
...by someone who has decided to commit murder with a firearm.
The underlying goal, in my belief, was to introduce into the Virginia Code -- and the minds of the Commonwealth's citizens -- the concept of an "assault weapon" ... as a class of semi-automatic rifles subject to and necessitating 'special' regulation.
Don'cha sleep sounder at night confident that the
Mir Aimal Kasis of the world will decide to respect
that law, and commit their crimes with some other semi-automatic rifle? Unless the
Mir-Aimal-Kasi-wannabee thinks to himself, 'Oh, shite! I can't lawfully use a semi-auto AK-47 in my jihadic quest for 72 virgins. I might as well use a full-auto AK instead.'
I would sleep sounder at night if all of Guhvennor Wilder's anti-2A legacy was scoured from the Code.
