Re: Virginia Law
The deliberate burning of a dwelling house (arson) is covered under Va. Code Sec. 18.2-77 for which the punishment prescribed may range from five years to life in the state penitentiary. (The violation, however, involves actual and deliberate burning and not merely threats of such burning.)
Va. Code Sec. 18.2-60 makes any written or electronic communication to inflict death or serious bodily harm on an individual or member of such individual's family a Class 6 felony.
