Virginia's two U.S. Senators have introduced a sweeping 53-page bill to bring the Commonwealth's new anti-gun plan to all 50 states. 

U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D) introduced the "Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act" to Congress last Friday. 

The bill's 17 sections encompass an entire framework of gun control schemes to include a federal ban on most popular semi-auto firearms and magazines capable of holding more than 15 cartridges, one-a-month gun rationing, establishing "red flag" gun seizures, instituting thousands of new 1,000-foot "no gun" zones, regulating firearm storage in personal vehicles, adopting restrictions on homemade firearms, and more. 

Together, these measures mark one of the most comprehensive proposals aimed at standardizing regulations from coast to coast.

Since Democrats gained control of the governor's mansion and the state legislature in Virginia – with support from a $1.4 million campaign by gun control groups last fall – a series of new gun restrictions has been approved in Richmond. Currently, 11 states have bans on certain semi-auto firearms, with Rhode Island joining last summer, while Virginia's restrictions are expected to take effect in July. 

"I am proud of the Commonwealth for leading the way in implementing commonsense gun reforms, and it’s time for the country to follow," said Warner, who has long been endorsed by large national anti-gun groups such as Everytown. 

The measure has been introduced as S.4339 and is referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. 

While Congress is narrowly under Republican control, the country is headed into a contentious election cycle in November, with every House seat and 35 Senate seats (20 GOP) on the line in November. Further, President Trump's track record on the Second Amendment has always been something of a moving target.
