(ASSOCIATED PRESS) RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell
on Tuesday signed a measure to repeal the state’s nearly 20-year-old
ban on purchasing more than one handgun per month, delivering a major
victory to gun rights advocates in the state.
Mr. McDonnell,
a Republican who as a Virginia Beach delegate supported the law, has
said the requirement it is no longer necessary, given the changes in
technology and new requirements for background checks. Proponents of the
measure also argue that the numerous exemptions in the law make it
unnecessary.
