Va. Senate backs bill to repeal one-gun-a-month

On a 21-19 vote, the Virginia Senate passed legislation Monday to allow the purchase of more than one handgun a month, foretelling what is likely to be one of the most significant changes in Virginia's gun laws in 20 years. The Senate vote, coupled with passage last week by the House of Delegates, means the measure to repeal the one-gun-a-month law is likely to reach Gov. Bob McDonnell, who has indicated he would sign it into law.
