Virginia seems in the news a lot lately.
stock here -- I remember somethings with amazing accuracy, and others not at all. But when I read the "tyrannical law" proposed by Dem controlled Virginia, I immediately remembered their state motto....."Death to Tyrants", "As Always to Tyrants" depending on interpretation, but the general meaning/outcome is the same.
So ironic that Virginia with this motto is the worst State in the Union, yes worse than Florida, worse than California, at least in terms of the advancement of disregard for the Basic Law, the Constitution.
Virginia Roberts did not kill Virginia. Democrats did, following the manipulated leftist game plan.

The law would instantly transform all martial arts instructors into criminal felons. This includes instructors who teach kickboxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, boxing and even Capoeira.
It would also criminalize all firearms training classes, including concealed carry classes.
It would even criminalize a father teaching his own son how to use a hunting rifle.
Specifically, the law says that a person “is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity” (a class 5 felony) if that person:
“Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with,
practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm,
explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons…”
The actual proposed "law", in quotes, because any law that is against the constitution, is in my view null and void, and not acceptable in parts. It is all null and void. Item 3 prevents open carry, which is legal in all states.

2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net
increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to §
30-19.1:4 of
the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot
be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional
facilities; therefore, Chapter 854 of the Acts of Assembly of 2019 requires the
Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of
$50,000. Pursuant to §
30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount
of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of commitment
to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
