“After reviewing the research and communicating with the Henrico Circuit Court, we have decided that for the one or two individuals who fall into this category, we will issue a show-cause motion to bring them back before the court so that the judge might be able to explain what has happened with the Virginia Supreme Court decision and how it voided their order,” Taylor said.

“It is my understanding that those individuals who acted upon either their right to vote and/or their right to possess firearms are a priority for the current secretary of the commonwealth to ensure that the appropriate executive order is enacted for that individual. Thus, it is our intention to work with the individual to ensure that they are following the law.”

Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael N. Herring said those who had gun rights restored after McAuliffe’s order that are now invalidated by the Supreme Court ruling should be given notice that they are technically in violation of the law if they possess a firearm.

“The idea that we can reasonably expect the restored to inspect the governor’s website (to understand their legal status) is ludicrous,” he said.
