For some reason I keep thinking  they already passed those including one gun a/month.

Virginia had the one gun a month thing back in the '90s but I think that had been repealed some time ago. One of our Virginians should know for sure.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

1 HANDGUN a month was repealed back in 2012, IIRC.
