A Virginia school board may call on the state to ban “assault-style weapons” and require parents to sign a form about their personal gun storage. 

Two members of the Fairfax County School Board, Laura Jane Cohen and Karl Frisch, submitted a request for a “preventing gun violence” workgroup, citing the “record-breaking sales” of firearms during the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the form obtained by The Daily Wire, the board aims to create “a plan to keep students and schools safe by aligning curriculum, safety protocols, professional development, legislative priorities, and parent/guardian resources.”
