📰 News we're reading
• Virginia Supreme Court appoints panel to weigh consolidation of assault weapon ban lawsuits (virginiascope.com) — Lancaster County is one of four Virginia localities where lawsuits challenge the state’s new assault weapon ban, and a Virginia Supreme Court panel will now decide whether to merge those cases into one. A hearing once set in Lancaster for June 12 was canceled after the panel’s formation, likely delaying any injunction before the law takes effect July 1 and leaving local gun owners watching closely.
