Re: Virginia law about gun possession and adult supervision. Funny, but not true. Does anybody give a shit about honesty? --- Buehler? Anybody?

Virginia law restricts firearm possession for individuals under 18 and child access to firearms. Except in specific permitted scenarios, minors must generally be supervised by an adult to possess or transport handguns and assault weapons.

You are correct, the meme should have stated it was an “assault weapons” ban for those under 21, AND it should have stated it was recently passed legislation, not law. Still looking for the exact legislation. But that legislation has already been blocked and was not set to go into effect until July 1 of 2026. Virginia already has sales bans on handguns for those under 21. The only part of the meme I haven't verified yet is the “with accompaniment of an adult” part.

The legislation is HB 217/SB 749

Relevant quote

“Lawmakers also approved raising the minimum age to purchase certain firearms to 21…”

Here is the bill referenced

The meme stated nothing about minors, so all of your points there are moot.

My question to you, where is the dishonesty?

Insurgent cats and malaphors! Also fluffy cloud hostages.

Hahaha! Remember to put silver slippers on those insurgent cats, not ruby!

We'll cross that bridge when we find it burning in front of us.

Or we'll burn that bridge when we come to it!

Jim Davidson's avatar

No, friend, that’s not right. You burn bridges behind you. You cross bridges in front of you. Unless you’re travelling backwards through time …

Thank you, all these malaphors got me maladapted to proper travel protocol.

We used to say “FIDO” which stood for “F it, drive on.”

This Revolutionary Cat appreciates your memes. Now, please excuse me while I go have a word with the Alpacas. There's a key role they need to play in the coming Alpaca-lips that I need to get them all plumped up for.

Don't forget the catnip, there might be mosquitoes. Alpaca-bowl for you.

Sadly I lost mine in a boating accident. They sure did love fishing.
