The Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2026 establishes multiple federal restrictions and regulations aimed at reducing firearm-related violence. The bill prohibits undetectable firearms and unserialized firearm components, requires gun owners to report lost or stolen weapons to law enforcement within 48 hours under penalty of up to $250, and bans firearm possession on college campuses and within 1,000 feet of mental health facilities. It also creates a federal grant program to help states and tribes implement extreme risk protection order laws that allow courts to temporarily remove guns from individuals deemed dangerous, with at least 25 percent of grant funding directed to law enforcement training through 2028. Additionally, the bill expands firearm prohibitions to include those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes and caregivers who allow children flagged as violence risks to access weapons, with violations carrying potential prison sentences of up to 10 years, and establishes a requirement that law enforcement agencies use federal grant funds to improve tracking of lost and stolen firearms.
