House Democrats have shut down several gun rights bills filed by Republicans.

The Roanoke Times reported that the subcommittee of the House Public Safety Committee had been known for killing Democrats' bills in the past, but this year the tables were turned as Democrats have control of both the House and Senate.

Democrats defeated 11 bills within about two hours Tuesday.

Two of the bills filed by representative Christopher Head, R - Botetourt, included HB 1470 and HB 1471, which would help landowners who have land in multiple localities with different firearms ordinances.

Other bills defeated include one that would increase the mandatory minimum sentences for use or display of a firearm and Wendell Walker's bill allowing those to carry a weapon in a place of religious worship.
