When the chairman of the committee is calling elements of it out on the carpet for not being clear enough in its first hearing.​ That is exactly what happened to State Senators Cecil Thomas and Peggy Lehner as they introduced a bill they say would close loopholes that allow private sellers to transfer firearms at gun shows without needing to get a background check first.​   REUTERS After Democratic legislative gains, Virginia governor vows new gun-control push Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's push for new gun control laws after the May massacre of 12 people in Virginia Beach flopped when the Republican-controlled state legislature acquiesced to his call for a July special session but left without a vote.   LEGAL & LEGISLATION Wisconsin: Special Session On Gun Control Convenes Because the Legislature defended your freedom and did not accede to his demands, Governor Tony Evers issued an executive order for a "special" session that convenes today, November 7.
