Virginias guvernör undertecknar lag om förbud mot automatvapen

Virginias guvernör Abigail Spanberger har undertecknat en lag som förbjuder så kallade automatvapen. I ett uttalande i samband med undertecknandet erkände hon att åtgärden omfattar vissa jaktmodeller och lovade att förtydliga formuleringarna. Beslutet följer på Demokraternas nyligen vunna kontroll över delstatsstyret.

Spanberger släppte ett uttalande där hon förklarade sitt beslut. Hon sade: ”Jag undertecknar denna lag eftersom skjutvapen utformade för att orsaka maximalt antal offer inte hör hemma på våra gator. Vi tar detta steg för att skydda familjer och stödja de poliser som arbetar varje dag för att hålla våra samhällen trygga.” Hon noterade att delstatsförsamlingen förkastade hennes föreslagna ändring för jaktvapen men tillade att hon kommer att arbeta tillsammans med lagstiftarna för att justera formuleringarna.
