Silly Democrats, don't you know you're supposed to push for registration first, then confiscation?
Instead, the newly Democratic controlled Virginia government got it backwards and thought they had the power and could skip Step 1 and go straight to Step 2.
They began their legislative session with a bang, by rolling out gun confiscation legislation. The legislation promptly got rolled back when the reality of what door-to-door confiscation of "assault weapons" would look like. This also led to one particularly bright Democrat representative threatening to send out the Virginia National Guard to assist in the confiscation.
This led to lots of push-back, with the VANG politely saying in not so many words to leave them the heck out of it.
So now, the Virginia state government which is completely Democrat dominated, is magnanimously backing away from immediate confiscation, proposing instead that "assault weapons" would be banned but those who have them would be grandfathered in for possession so long as they're registered.
So, after first threatening to confiscate people's firearms, they now think people will comply and register their firearms with the very same government that had until oh so recently been threatening to confiscate them including loosing the military to seize them?
They actually think people will now register them so the government will know in the future who has them in order to confiscate them more efficiently, which they just stated they would do?
Good luck with compliance with that law, especially since you let the mask slip and let everyone know exactly what you will do with the registration list once you have it and feel the time is right to move forward again with confiscation.
Also, good luck for any Democrat politician in the future proposing "common-sense" legislation like registration by claiming they have no intention of ever confiscating or banning such registered firearms.
One also hopes that gun owners in VA just got a wake-up call and will vote to protect their rights accordingly in the next election.

Meanwhile, I suspect VA citizens are stocking up on parts kits, 80% lowers and ammo.
Hey Aaron;
Yeah they kinda jumped the gun(pardon the Pun) there. Nothing like really getting people stirred up. Will be interesting to see how they try to walk it back or keep on pushing down on stupid.
Oh they did, trust me!
If the VA governor has no problem killing babies even after they're born, I don't think he would have any problem ordering the VANG to kill a few peasants who weren't going to give up their guns, or allow them to be registered.
I think I've read this story before. It's an old one, but still powerful.
Concord Hymn
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument, July 4, 1837
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood
And fired the shot heard round the world.
The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.
On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.
Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
