HB43 is interesting and follows the trend of other states, preventing state agencies, political subdivisions of VA, or state employee from participating in investigation & confiscation activities related to any federal firearms laws passed after Dec1, 2013 or in the requirements for intrastate (VA res to VA res) sales/transfers/gifts by non-FFLs.
HB61 is sponsored by Del. Delores McQuinn from the Richmond area, a Democrat with a 0% rating from the NRA. The main piece of this bill is to prevent the sale or rental to non-residents of rifles, shotguns, or assault weapons (yes it is a term in VA law, I think a carry-over from the 1994 fed law). I haven't had any luck determining if "rent" is defined in VA law like it is in MD law.

Think they carry any weight? Or just some saber rattling.

I'm just guessing, but I could see all of the ones listed except for 61 getting passed, but how many get through the new gov is another question.

No anti gun bills will make it through the house of delegates. Pro gun bills will have problems in the senate and will be vetoed by McAwful.
