The 36th Legislature of the US Virgin Islands is continuing to advance sweeping gun control measures. Tomorrow morning, the Committee on Rules and Judiciary will meet to discuss Bill No. 36-0144.
The bill mandates individuals surrender certain firearms to local law enforcement authorities, transfer the firearm to an FFL, or otherwise transfer the firearm outside of the territory's jurisdiction. It also prohibits the possession of certain semi-automatic firearms and suppressors, and even goes so far as to require individuals to undergo safety training and receive a permit before owning or possessing certain rifles and shotguns. Additionally, the bill prohibits the sale of certain firearm accessories and arbitrarily limits magazine capacities to a maximum of ten (10) rounds.
The bill is unconstitutional on its face and an infringement on law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment rights. Please contact your legislators and urge them to OPPOSE Bill No. 36-0144.
