Status of Firearm Related Bills in the 2026 Legislative Session

Posted on January 9, 2026 by John Pierce
ShareTweet

The anti-civil rights bills are flooding in and both gun owners and the firearms industry are facing unprecedented attacks in Virginia.

Some of the most egregious bills being proposed are:

  • HB207 – Imposes a $500 tax on suppressors
  • HB217 – Imposes a ban on modern sporting rifles and normal capacity magazines
  • HB21 – Allows firearms industry members to be sued
  • HB24 – Destroys Virginia’s universal recognition of other state’s permits

For a complete list of all bills impacting gun owners and the firearms industry and what their current status is, please see the Bill Tracker I maintain for the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) and sign up for the VA-ALERT email updates.

  • Restoration of Firearms Rights

    “John represented me at my hearing in Fairfax County Circuit Court for my Petition for Restoration of Firearms Rights. My case was a bit complex and it incorporated some new legislation that John was very educated on. The legislation was so new that the Commonwealth’s Attorney and the Judge did not have any knowledge of it. John’s actions in the courtroom to bring the new legislation to the attention of the court were astonishing and brilliant; even bringing a smile to the Judge and pat on the back from a fellow attorney after the hearing.

    John’s flat rate pricing for representation is amazingly affordable. He is true to his word, communicates through out the entire process and works diligently to represent you. I highly recommend John Pierce.” - Shawn

    Outstanding Service

    “I contacted John via email regarding trust and estate work that I needed and questions that I had. He called me that same day, walked me through the process, took adequate time and was very patient in responding to my questions. He is very down to earth and professional. I was astounded as I found he was on travel, yet he took the time to personally contact me. He was very responsive in following up with the documents that I needed. I am extremely pleased and appreciative of the time he took with me and his outstanding level of service. I've worked with a number of attorneys in my profession and John exceeds the standards that I am accustomed to. I highly recommend him.” - Ron
