FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A group of Democratic state lawmakers is pushing two northern Virginia counties to use an existing law to bar people from driving with a loaded shotgun or rifle.
The legislators' effort comes after a General Assembly session that saw the vast majority of Democrats' gun-control bills fail.
Sen. Scott Surovell is leading the effort. He sent a similar message to Fairfax County.
