司法部助理部长哈米特·迪隆警告弗吉尼亚州：第二修正案“不得被侵犯”
作者：埃里克·麦克 福克斯新闻
弗吉尼亚州州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格周二签署了一系列控枪法案，在将法案送交议员之前强化了一项拟议的攻击性武器禁令，此举立即遭到共和党人的反对，并可能引发司法部的宪法异议。
这位民主党州长对众议院第217号法案/参议院第749号法案做出的修改，删除了法案中攻击性武器定义部分的“固定式”一词，共和党人称此举可能大幅扩大被纳入禁令范围的半自动步枪和手枪的范围。
“如果说之前还有人怀疑斯潘伯格州长是冲着我们的枪支来的，那么这项替代修正案已经打消了所有疑虑，”众议院少数党领袖、来自斯科特县的共和党人特里·基尔戈尔在给WCYB 5频道的一份声明中表示。“它不仅保留了对弗吉尼亚州一些最常见枪支的事实上的禁令，还变本加厉，似乎要禁止任何可以使用超过15发弹匣的枪支。
“这包括弗吉尼亚州绝大多数用于合法用途的常见枪支。”

美国司法部在周五公布的一封信中警告称，该法案存在宪法争议，并威胁称，如果该州实施侵犯受保护枪支权的禁令，将采取法律行动。
“此信正式通知，若弗吉尼亚州联邦颁布某些违宪限制守法美国人个人持枪权的法案，民权司将提起诉讼，”民权部助理司法部长哈米特·迪隆在斯潘伯格周二采取行动前，写给弗吉尼亚州民主党总检察长杰伊·琼斯的信中写道。“具体而言，现行版本的第749号参议院法案将要求弗吉尼亚州执法机构从事违宪限制AR-15步枪和其他许多常用半自动枪支的制造、购买或销售的行为。
“第二修正案保护守法公民出于合法目的拥有和使用AR-15式半自动步枪的权利，”她援引最高法院一致意见称，AR-15“既广泛合法，也被许多普通消费者购买”。
迪隆表示，她的部门“将寻求禁止任何试图侵犯守法弗吉尼亚人获取受宪法保护的枪支权利的行为”。
“@SpanbergerForVA 已收到警告：第二修正案权利不得被侵犯，”迪隆周五在X平台上写道。“我们正在密切关注——如果颁布任何非法立法，我们将提起诉讼。@CivilRights 将保护弗吉尼亚州守法公民的第二修正案权利。”

斯潘伯格并未退缩，她将这项法律塑造成一项公共安全举措，称该州试图在第二修正案权利与减少枪支暴力的努力之间取得平衡。
“我成长在一个负责任持有枪支是应有之义的家庭，作为前联邦探员，我每天都携枪，”她在一份声明中写道。“我支持第二修正案。但枪支暴力是美国儿童和青少年的首要死亡原因，这应该促使我们所有人扪心自问，我们可以做些什么来减轻这种伤害。
“这就是为什么我提出修正案，为负责任的枪支所有者和执法人员提供明确性，明确这些修改在实际操作中的意义——就像弗吉尼亚人安全购买和储存枪支一样，”她继续说道。“这些合乎情理的举措将有助于保护我们的家庭、社区和执法人员的安全。”

该法案将禁止未来销售、转让、制造和进口受管制枪支和超过15发的弹匣，但对2026年7月1日前合法拥有的枪支予以豁免。违反规定者将面临一级轻罪指控，并对祖父条款下的枪支后续转让或销售施加限制。
该法案现已送交州议会，议员们将决定是否接受斯潘伯格的修正案。

斯潘伯格还无修改地签署了其他几项与枪支相关的法案，其中包括众议院第21号法案，该法案要求枪支制造商、经销商和分销商采取“合理管控措施”，防止非法销售和滥用枪支。该法律还允许总检察长、地方政府和个人在枪支行业成员的行为或疏忽被指导致公共伤害时提起民事诉讼。
她还签署了众议院第110号法案，禁止在无人看管的车辆内将枪支放在显眼位置，以及众议院第40号法案，禁止制造、销售、转让和持有无序列号的自制枪支，也就是俗称的“幽灵枪”。
“总体而言，州议会向你提交了20多项限制第二修正案权利的法案，”迪隆在给琼斯的警告中总结道。“我敦促你重新考虑，不要让任何侵犯守法公民合法使用受保护枪支权利的法案成为法律。
“为避免不必要的诉讼，第二修正案部门随时准备与弗吉尼亚州总检察长办公室的律师进行会晤和磋商。

Spanberger signs gun bills, makes a proposed gun ban even harsher
April 15, 2026 7:31am EDT / Fox News
Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon warned Virginia: Second Amendment ‘shall not be infringed’
By Eric Mack Fox News
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a series of gun-control bills Tuesday, toughening a proposed assault-firearms ban before sending it back to lawmakers, which drew immediate backlash from Republicans and is likely to draw a constitutional objection from the Justice Department.
The Democratic governor’s changes to House Bill 217/Senate Bill 749 remove the word “fixed” from part of the bill’s definition of an assault firearm, which could sharply expand the range of semi-automatic rifles and pistols swept into the ban, Republicans say.
“If there was any doubt that Gov. Spanberger was coming for our firearms, this substitute removes it,” House of Delegates Minority Leader Terry Kilgore, R-Scott, told News WCYB 5 in a statement. “Not only does it keep in place the de facto ban on some of the most common firearms in Virginia, it goes further and appears to create a ban on any firearm that can accept a magazine of more than 15 rounds.
“That includes the vast majority of firearms in Virginia that are in common use for legal purposes.”

The U.S. Department of Justice warned in a letter released Friday that the measure raises constitutional concerns and threatened legal action if the state enforces a ban that infringes on protected firearms.
“This letter provides formal notice that the Civil Rights Division will commence litigation in the event the Commonwealth of Virginia enacts certain bills that unconstitutionally limit law-abiding Americans’ individual right to bear arms,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon wrote in the letter to Virginia Democrat Attorney General Jay Jones before Spanberger’s moves Tuesday. “Specifically, SB 749, as written, would require Virginia law enforcement agencies to engage in a practice of unconstitutionally restricting the making, buying, or selling of AR-15s and many other semi-automatic firearms in common use.
“The Second Amendment protects the rights of law-abiding citizens to own and use AR-15 style semiautomatic rifles for lawful purposes,” she added, citing the unanimous Supreme Court opinion that the AR-15 is “both widely legal and bought by many ordinary consumers.”
Dhillon said her division “will seek to enjoin any attempt to infringe the right of law-abiding Virginians to acquire constitutional protected arms[.]”
“@SpanbergerForVA is on notice: 2A rights SHALL NOT BE infringed,” Dhillon wrote Friday on X. “We are closely watching—in the event any unlawful legislation is enacted, we will sue. @CivilRights will protect the 2A rights of law-abiding citizens in Virginia.”

Undaunted, Spanberger moved forward framing the law as a public-safety push, saying the state is trying to balance Second Amendment rights with efforts to reduce gun violence.
“I grew up in a family where responsible gun ownership was expected, and I carried a firearm every day as a former federal agent,” she wrote in a statement. “I support the Second Amendment. But gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in America, and that should motivate all of us to ask ourselves what we can do to mitigate this harm.
“This is why I’ve made amendments to provide clarity for both responsible gun owners and law enforcement, making clear what these changes mean in practice — as Virginians safely purchase and store their firearms,” she continued. “These commonsense steps will help keep our families, our communities, and our law enforcement officers safe.”

The bill would ban the future sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of covered firearms and magazines over 15 rounds, while exempting firearms legally owned before July 1, 2026. It would create a Class 1 misdemeanor for violations and impose limits on how grandfathered firearms could later be transferred or sold.
The legislation now heads back to the General Assembly, which must decide whether to accept Spanberger’s amendments.

Spanberger also signed several other gun-related bills without changes, including House Bill 21, which requires firearm manufacturers, dealers and distributors to adopt “reasonable controls” aimed at preventing illegal sales and misuse. The law also opens the door for civil action by the attorney general, local governments and private individuals if a firearm industry member’s actions or omissions are alleged to have contributed to public harm.
She also signed House Bill 110, which bars leaving a firearm in plain view inside an unattended vehicle, and House Bill 40, which bans the manufacture, sale, transfer and possession of unserialized homemade firearms, commonly known as ghost guns.
“In all, the General Assembly has forwarded to you over 20 bills that restrict Second Amendment rights,” Dhillon’s warning to Jones concluded. “I urge you to reconsider allowing any bill that would infringe on the lawful use of protected firearms by law-abiding citizens to become law.
“In an effort to avoid unnecessary litigation, the Second Amendment Section stands ready to meet and confer with attorneys in the Virginia Attorney General’s Office.
