The injunction is limited, and everyone should treat lightly. https://johnpierceesq.com/lancaster-county-judge-enjoins-vsp-enforcement-of-sb-749-but-many-questions-remain/ Today brought major news in the ongoing litigation over Virginia’s new “assault firearm” and “large capacity magazine” law, SB 749. At a hearing in Lancaster County Circuit Court, in the case brought by VCDL and GOA, the judge reportedly granted a preliminary injunction preventing the Virginia State Police from enforcing SB 749. That law was scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, and would impose new restrictions on the purchase, sale, transfer, manufacture, and importation of certain firearms defined as “assault firearms,” as well as certain magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds. According to reports from those familiar with today’s hearing, counsel for the Commonwealth requested an immediate stay of the injunction pending appeal. The judge reportedly denied that request. If those reports are accurate, this is a significant development. But it is not the end of the matter. In fact, for many Virginia gun owners, FFLs, NFA applicants, and firearms-industry members, today’s ruling creates a new set of urgent questions that will need to be answered in the coming days. What the Injunction Appears to Do Based on the reports currently available, the preliminary injunction prevents the Virginia State Police from enforcing SB 749 until December 31, 2026, or until a final order is entered, whichever occurs first. That matters because Virginia firearm transactions generally depend upon a Virginia State Police background check approval. If the injunction prevents the State Police from denying transactions based on SB 749, then at least for now, the State Police should not be using SB 749 as the basis for denying a background check for a firearm or magazine covered by the new law. That is the good news. But the exact language of the written order will matter tremendously. Until the written order is available and carefully reviewed, no one should assume more than we actually know. What the Injunction May Not Do The most important limitation appears to be this: the injunction is against the Virginia State Police. That means it may not directly bind local law enforcement, local Commonwealth’s Attorneys, or other officials who are not parties to the order. That distinction matters. SB 749 is not merely a background-check statute. It creates criminal penalties for conduct involving covered firearms and magazines. If the injunction only prevents the State Police from denying background checks, it does not necessarily answer whether a local Commonwealth’s Attorney could later attempt to prosecute a sale, transfer, purchase, importation, or manufacture that occurred after July 1, 2026. That does not mean such a prosecution would be valid. It does not mean it would succeed. It does not mean such a prosecution would be likely in every locality. But it does mean that the injunction may not be the complete statewide shield that many people are hoping it is. FFLs Should Be Especially Careful FFLs are likely to face some of the hardest practical questions. If the Virginia State Police cannot deny a background check based on SB 749, can an FFL lawfully complete the transfer after July 1? Maybe. But that is not the only question. An FFL also has to consider whether the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacture might still be alleged to violate SB 749 by someone other than the Virginia State Police. The injunction may solve the VSP background-check problem without fully resolving the broader criminal-enforcement problem. There is also a separate issue: HB21/SB27, Virginia’s new firearm-industry civil-liability law, is not part of this injunction. That law creates new standards of responsible conduct for members of the firearms industry and allows civil enforcement in certain circumstances. Because HB21/SB27 was not enjoined by today’s reported ruling, FFLs and other industry members will need to consider whether sales during the injunction period could create separate civil-liability concerns, even if the State Police background check is approved. In short, FFLs should not treat today’s news as a simple green light without further legal analysis. The Grandfathering Problem One of the most important unanswered questions involves the wording of SB 749’s grandfathering provisions. The statute does not simply say that firearms or magazines possessed before the law “takes effect” are grandfathered. Instead, it repeatedly uses the date “July 1, 2026.” That creates a serious question: what happens to items purchased after July 1, 2026, while the injunction is in place, if the injunction is later dissolved and the law is ultimately allowed to go into effect? For example, suppose someone lawfully buys a covered firearm on July 15, 2026, while the State Police are under an injunction and therefore do not deny the transaction based on SB 749. If the injunction is later lifted and SB 749 is enforced as written, does that firearm qualify for the same grandfather protections as one purchased and possessed before July 1, 2026? The answer is not immediately clear. Because the statute uses a fixed date, rather than tying grandfathering to the eventual effective date of enforcement, there is a real concern that items acquired during the injunction period may not fall within the statutory grandfather language if the Commonwealth ultimately prevails. That issue may be addressed by the courts. It may be addressed by later legislative action. It may be addressed in guidance from state officials. But as of today, gun owners should understand that the injunction may allow a transaction to proceed without answering whether the item will be grandfathered later. NFA Items Present Another Layer of Uncertainty The same problem may apply to NFA items. The injunction could theoretically allow certain Form 1 or Form 4 items to proceed where SB 749 would otherwise have created a Virginia-law barrier. But NFA transfers and making applications add more layers: federal processing time, ATF review, state-law certification issues, and the timing of possession. If an NFA item is approved after July 1, 2026, during the injunction period, but SB 749 is later allowed to go into effect, will that item be treated as grandfathered? Again, the statutory language raises concern because it focuses on whether the item was lawfully purchased and possessed before July 1, 2026. That may create a particularly difficult problem for short-barreled rifles, machineguns, and other items that require federal approval before lawful possession can occur. A person may have submitted paperwork before July 1, but not actually received approval or possession until after July 1. Whether that is enough will likely depend on the exact statutory language, the type of item, the transaction history, and future court rulings or agency guidance. There is also a practical question: will ATF process and approve Form 1s and Form 4s involving items affected by SB 749 while the injunction is in place? The answer may depend on whether ATF recognizes the injunction as sufficient to remove the state-law barrier during the injunction period. At this point, we do not have enough information to know how ATF will handle those applications. The Commonwealth Will Almost Certainly Appeal This ruling is very unlikely to be the last word. The Commonwealth is expected to appeal quickly. It may seek emergency relief from a higher court. A higher court could stay the injunction, modify it, expand it, narrow it, or leave it in place. The procedural posture may also be affected by other pending challenges to SB 749 including attempts at consolidation of the various cases. That means the legal landscape may change rapidly. Anyone making decisions based on today’s ruling needs to understand that the ground is still moving. This is not a finished bridge. It is scaffolding in a windstorm. What We Are Watching For In the coming days, we will be watching for several things: The exact written language of the Lancaster County injunction. Whether a higher court stays, modifies, or dissolves the injunction. Whether the Virginia State Police issues guidance to FFLs. Whether local Commonwealth’s Attorneys or local law enforcement agencies announce how they will treat SB 749 during the injunction period. Whether ATF provides any indication of how it will handle Form 1 and Form 4 applications involving items affected by SB 749. Whether the General Assembly or Governor takes any further action before or after July 1. How HB21/SB27, the firearm-industry liability law, may affect FFLs and other industry members even if SB 749 enforcement by the State Police is temporarily blocked. Bottom Line Today’s reported ruling is unquestionably important and VCDL and GOA, and their attorneys, deserve our support and praise for the hard work that made this victory possible. It is a major development! But it does not answer every question. It may not bind every potential enforcing authority. It may not protect every FFL from every risk. It may not guarantee grandfathering for items acquired after July 1, 2026. It may not control how ATF handles pending or future NFA applications. And it may be altered quickly on appeal. For now, the safest answer is also the most honest one: we have a major development, but not yet a complete roadmap. We will continue monitoring the case, the written order, any appeal, any agency guidance, and the practical effect on Virginia gun owners and FFLs. As soon as reliable answers are available, we will provide further updates. |

Every online retailer in the prior 24-hours started enforcing their no-shipping restrictions to Virginia with the exception of a few that were offering overnight shipping. I am asking how long does it take for all of the online retailers to see the injunction, reverse course, and start allowing outgoing shipments again. I don't care about Midway. |

I believe PSA is now letting freedom ring once again for Va. However, I would expect the injunction to be very short lived. |

Very few FFLs if any will transfer you an assault firearm after 7/1, regardless of the injunction against VSP. See Attorney John Pierce’s legal opinion above. |

VCDL just sent this out: VCDL suggests that if you still need either standard capacity magazines that hold more than 15 rounds or an “assault firearm,” that you continue to get those purchased and possessed before next Wednesday, July 1. The reason we suggest that is: The VCDL/GOA win on a temporary injunction may be appealed. The Washington County AWB lawsuit has not yet had a ruling released by the judge that heard that case. The General Assembly and Governor are saying they are planning some kind of last-minute modification to the AWB law on Monday. Also, in the highly unlikely case that we lose in the end, any AWs bought after July 1 might not be grandfathered And this is where the sheriffs and Commonwealth Attorneys who say they won’t enforce these unconstitutional laws are critical. The State Police are enjoined from enforcing the AWB and AW carry law, so if you are carrying an AW, VSP won’t bother you and if your local CA and/or sheriff are not enforcing that law, then you are good to carry in those jurisdictions. |

Nobody wants to give money to losers, so it seems they're in a downward spiral. Putting a candidate out there, even one who is going to get trounced, gets that party's voters out, which counts in state elections decided by popular vote. The VA Democrats knew this. |

I'm asking about how this has gone down already in other states. First is restrictions on purchasing or transferring. Next is registration? Some people register, most people don't. The people who did register now have legal "assault weapons", the people who didn't register their guns now have illegal guns. Next is prohibition on possession? Does that happen? Do they make people sell off the "assault weapons" that they registered? The Virginia democrats have proven they are going to go as hard as they can until they get significant pushback from the general population. |

Video posted today's date: June 28, 2026 *MASSIVE* BREAKING NEWS! Spanberger SURRENDERS On "Assault Weapons" Carry Ban! Attached File Transcript We have massive breaking news today out of the state of Virginia. I am still in my hotel room. I have to make this 0:06 6 seconds video. This is massive. Less than one day after a court enjoined the assault weapons ban from going into effect, 0:13 13 seconds Abigail Spanberger has officially relented. She has proposed amendments, and I kid you not, I can't believe this is actually happening, but she has 0:21 21 seconds proposed amendments to delay the assault weapons carry ban by a year. So, it's not going to go into effect July 1st, 0:28 28 seconds 2026, but July 1st, 2027. Now, there's a lot of detail here. This is separate from the assault weapons purchase ban. 0:35 35 seconds This is the carry um the carry ban, right? But this is absolutely huge, right? The assault ban, the assault weapons purchase ban, of course, is 0:43 43 seconds already enjoined by the courts. So, if she postponed that, it wouldn't be as big of a deal. But the carry ban was slated to go into effect literally like 0:51 51 seconds like a couple days from now. that will no longer happen. By all accounts, under the appropriations bill, and I'll get into the details. I know this one does 0:58 58 seconds get into the weeds a little bit, just to warn you, but by all accounts, it is extremely likely that that will no longer be going into effect on July 1st. 1:07 1 minute, 7 seconds We are winning this fight. We are winning this war. This is unbelievably huge news. Since I started covering this obviously, months ago, we really 1:16 1 minute, 16 seconds thought, especially on this issue, we were kind of screwed. That is not the case. That will not be the case. The courts are winning. We're winning and Abigail Spanberger has realized this and 1:25 1 minute, 25 seconds has relented. This is massive news. I'll get into all the details in just a second. If you are new here, please do subscribe. Again, usually much higher quality um videos than this. Again, I'm 1:33 1 minute, 33 seconds just still on the road, so I had to make these videos this way. If you are new here, please do subscribe. Thank you so much. And let's get into it. This is from my website, bearingfreedom.com. And there's a bunch of points here, but one 1:42 1 minute, 42 seconds of the obvious ones is this betrays the entire reason for the carry ban and the assault weapons ban to begin with. All right. On June 25th, a court froze 1:50 1 minute, 50 seconds Virginia's new ban on carrying so-called assault firearms in public. The very next day, sorry, I'm my computer. 1:57 1 minute, 57 seconds Governor Spanberger asked the legislature to delay that same ban until July 1st, 2027 and wrote the new date into a single line of the state's budget. You don't postpone an emergency. 2:07 2 minutes, 7 seconds The date is a tell. And that's obviously true, right? This is going to be a very very powerful piece of evidence um that we that we can use to show they don't 2:15 2 minutes, 15 seconds really think this is an emergency. They are just lying. Right? Again, two statements one day apart, right? They 2:22 2 minutes, 22 seconds said it is a public safety emergency, right? We need to do this. People are dying. If we don't do this, literally the state is going to be anarchy. We need to do this. These are weapons of 2:31 2 minutes, 31 seconds war. They do not belong in civilian hands. Now, she says, "Wait, we can let it wait until 2027." And the mechanism by which she did this, right, is insane. 2:39 2 minutes, 39 seconds It was through the Appropriations Act on page 826, the line after line 35, right? 2:45 2 minutes, 45 seconds her stated reason to avoid the delay for the delay to provide additional time to avoid creating a dangerous loophole and gun violence prevention laws. Right? 2:53 2 minutes, 53 seconds Again, the amendment here is extremely simple, right? We've gone over the details uh of the bill, you know, to begin with, right? But the actual change here is very simple. It's just delaying 3:02 3 minutes, 2 seconds essentially these chapters which are actually the the things that the bill amended. So, the bill basically added new things to chapter uh 1025 and chapter 101. 3:11 3 minutes, 11 seconds And now this is delaying the changes to these chapters basically, right? Um, chapters 1 1025 and 10001 of the act of 3:18 3 minutes, 18 seconds assembly of 226 shall become effective on July 1st, 2027. Again, a delay from 20 July 1st, 2026. Chapter these these, like I said, are SB725 and HB1524. 3:31 3 minutes, 31 seconds Those are the twin bills that rewrote um Virginia's public carry ban. They were set to take effect this July. This line moves that to last July. And here is a fundamental point here, right? 3:41 3 minutes, 41 seconds Obviously, the hypocrisy, we get that. 3:43 3 minutes, 43 seconds But she understands the bill as it is currently, you know, uh, implemented will not pass muster. It will not work. 3:50 3 minutes, 50 seconds She will not succeed in this. And I think she probably knows, if we're being honest, she can't kill it outright as as a uh because it'll just look 3:58 3 minutes, 58 seconds embarrassing, but I think she probably knows if we're being honest that this is not going to survive the courts. The realistic read on the situation is it's going to get strung out until July 1st, 4:06 4 minutes, 6 seconds 2027. And I think it is highly likely that the Supreme Court will have already heard an assault weapons ban case by that point and probably the original um 4:13 4 minutes, 13 seconds sorry assault weapons uh yeah ban case by that point and probably the original assault weapons ban will already have been decided. So realistically once that comes through there's no way this carry 4:22 4 minutes, 22 seconds ban is going to be ruled to be uh to ruled to be constitutional. It's not possible. It is just not possible. I think fundamentally she's doing this 4:30 4 minutes, 30 seconds because probably what's going to happen is the Supreme Court's going to going to do something or the state supreme court is going to do something and then they'll have to just remove this law. I 4:38 4 minutes, 38 seconds think this may end up being the final victory. Now, the amendment is not passed yet. This this is important to understand. This is the governor's um 4:46 4 minutes, 46 seconds recommended amendment. So, the House and Senate need to pass it. And I'll of course cover this on the channel. 4:50 4 minutes, 50 seconds Subscribe if you're interested. Um subscribe honestly if you're interested in the Second Amendment and in the state of Virginia. But yeah, I I'll be covering that fully. But the point is she was the one who praised this law. 5:01 5 minutes, 1 second She was the one I mean this was one of the most important parts of her gun control agenda. And that's one of the most important parts of her being 5:08 5 minutes, 8 seconds governor, right? She made it a crime to carry a so-called assault firearm which is like almost all guns, right? And any street, sidewalk, park, or any public 5:17 5 minutes, 17 seconds place anywhere in the Commonwealth, right? This is a statewide law. So essentially a statewide gun ban, right? 5:23 5 minutes, 23 seconds And and this just reached a inordinate amount of firearms. absolutely completely insane. And this was her idea. And again, the timing couldn't be better, right? A court freezes the ban. 5:32 5 minutes, 32 seconds She moves to delay it a year and she chooses a year delay by which the assault weapons bana cases will probably have already been decided. Right? This is very much her relenting. Right? 5:43 5 minutes, 43 seconds Again, is it permanent? No. Do we just kick the can a year? Yes. But is it very realistic that this will be the death 5:50 5 minutes, 50 seconds nail in this bill? Absolutely. I think it is highly improbable that I'll be sitting here a year from now telling you that this bill is going to effect. I I 5:57 5 minutes, 57 seconds would honestly bet a huge amount of money and I bet my channel on it. Like I'm obviously not going to actually do that, but I think it's extremely extremely unlikely that I'm still having this conversation a year from now. 6:06 6 minutes, 6 seconds Realistically, this will have been decided and this issue will be over by then. Abigail Spanberger knows this and this is her way of saving face and 6:14 6 minutes, 14 seconds essentially just giving up. This is a massive deal. Now, whether the House and Senate decide to go along with her giving up and avoid embarrassingly losing in court, that still remains to 6:23 6 minutes, 23 seconds be seen. But the reality is this is a massive win. No matter how you look at it, this is absolutely incredible. We have all the momentum in this fight as 6:32 6 minutes, 32 seconds we do honestly in almost every gun control uh fight in America. This is a huge deal and honestly, I couldn't be happier. Anyway, guys, thank you so much 6:39 6 minutes, 39 seconds for watching this video. I hope you did enjoy. If you did, please subscribe down below. Again, these videos are usually much better quality. I'll be back um on Tuesday. So, I'll be flying back on 6:47 6 minutes, 47 seconds Tuesday, so I'll be back at my house. Um but yeah, thank you so much for watching. If you're new here, please do subscribe. I appreciate all the support. 6:53 6 minutes, 53 seconds Thank you so much for watching. Stay tuned and I'll see you in the next |

Non drop ship are guns that PSA manufacturers themselves or has in their possession in their warehouses or stores. Drop shipped would be from a distributor like Lipsey's, Davidsons, etc. I.e. PSA does not physically own they are just the intermediary. |

Am I missing something? Why did she decide this was the best tactic for this particular thing? And it's only a delay, this isn't a lot to celebrate. |

I think there’s a big difference in not selling “prohibited” items during an injunction that’s only against enforcement by VSP, and between not selling a 10 round mag to Virginia because it has a removable floor plate and could be expanded. Or a threaded barrel. Or a vertical grip. I don’t expect anyone to transfer or sell anything that falls under the law unless there’s a firmer court action. Especially small local businesses without a legal team and a big bank account. I do think that it’s a bit ridiculous for major gun companies to be so gun shy that they won’t sell common magazines and parts that are legal. |

Just because a major gun company has a large bank account and legal team does not mean they want to get dragged into court so you can buy something that you could, if so inclined, convert into something illegal. In fact, it makes them an enticing target. Your ire is misplaced. VA state lawmakers did this to you. I don't blame gun companies for taking these types of stances, though I do wish they would refuse to sell to LE or anyone who receives an exemption in these bills. |

The gun company is not the ones who elected a government who they already knew is insanely hostile toward the second amendment, guns, and gun manufacturers. The companies just want to make guns and sell guns. If a state is friendly to gun sales they will provide all the guns they can manage. Palmetto said they formed that company for the specific reason to make the AR-15 so prolific in the US that it could not be banned as per the US constitution. That's what THEY did for the second amendment in the US. |

 Judge STOPS Virginia Assault Weapons Ban Before It Begins |

VCDL - maybe already posted here Breaking news! The Virginia General Assembly just voted to delay the implementation of the “assault firearm” public carry prohibition for one year. So, you can continue to carry under the current law until July 1, 2027. We expect the General Assembly will try to change the new carry law again in 2027, most likely making that carry law even more restrictive before it takes effect on July 1, 2027. Refreshing everyone’s memory on the current carry law that will continue to be in effect: 18.2-287.4 allows anyone with a CHP to carry a firearm in public, regardless of magazine size, threading on the barrel, or existence of a folding stock. If you do not have a CHP, then you cannot carry a loaded semi-automatic, centerfire rifle or pistol that has a magazine in the gun that holds MORE than 20 rounds, or if the gun has a threaded barrel or a folding stock, in these locations: the cities of Alexandria, Chesapeake, Fairfax, Falls Church, Newport News, Norfolk, Richmond, or Virginia Beach and in the Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Henrico, Loudoun, or Prince William. Shotguns can’t be carried in those same locations if they hold more than 7 rounds of the longest ammunition for which they are chambered. |

They will continue to sell to all exemptions, while being extra cautious with regular citizens. |
