## Resource

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just signed sweeping new gun safety laws designed to reduce gun violence by closing critical loopholes, strengthening background checks, and enforcing safer gun storage. The package targets the “boyfriend loophole,” holds gun manufacturers accountable, bans ghost guns, and restricts assault weapons. Backed by law enforcement, healthcare workers, students, and survivors, the legislation also aims to prevent future tragedies through violence prevention training, a state center for gun safety leadership, and programs to recover stolen firearms and remove dangerous weapons from circulation.
