I discovered while doing some research. I would appreciate any attorneys to explain why the current efforts for gun control in Virginia do not violate the 2nd Amendment "ex post facto".

They do violate the 2A. The Dems make a mockery of their oath. That's the short of it.
What you see all over the country are laws that clearly are an infringement on the 2A. Then it takes many years to get the issue before the Supreme Court. The law has force until struck down.
One of the main reasons the Dems wail and gnash their teeth is that President Trump is appointing judges who won't ignore the clear words of the Constitution.

Capt Gregory Prickett - I know what you mean. "An ex post facto law is one that declares someone's action to be criminal only after it was committed--a procedure forbidden by our Constitution."
It doesn't apply here. But our elected officials are passing laws they know won't pass legal muster. It occurred to me that framers wanted elected officials to "uphold and defend" the Constitution - by oath. If they took their oath seriously, it would be impossible to draft laws that violated the clear language of the document. But you get people that who have no moral underpinnings at all.
