'No legal effect whatsoever’

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring said Thursday that resolutions passed by more than 40 Virginia cities and counties declaring themselves as “Second Amendment Sanctuaries” don’t hold any legal weight.

Herring told 8News that the resolutions are simply “expressions of opposition” to stricter gun laws being proposed in the upcoming Virginia General Assembly session.
The attorney general said if any bills are passed, he expects them to be followed by all Virginians.

“These resolutions have no legal effect whatsoever. It’s really the gun lobby trying to scare a lot of people,” Herring said. “When the General Assembly passes it in the upcoming session, those laws are going to be enforced and they will be followed.”

The localities that have adopted the resolutions say they will essentially ignore any new state gun laws. The movement has spread since Virginia flipped blue in November’s elections.
