The regulation must be amended per Va. Code § 2.2-4006(4):

Va. Const. Art. I, § 13:

That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power. (1776, 1971).

Op. Va. Att'y Gen. 08-043 (2008) "There is no basis for an agency regulation where the legislature plainly, broadly, and comprehensively has addressed the same object."

Sincerely,

Rudolph DiGiacinto
