having the same serial number as the one that was missing from his home. 7 Branch testified that he kept “.357 magnum, 158 grains semi-wadcutters” as ammunition for his revolver. 8 The defendant’s first argument encompasses numbers 1, 10, and 11 of his assignments of error. All references to the defendant’s assignments of error are to those that he originally filed rather than to the assignments of error as the defendant renumbered them in his brief. Although the defendant filed 17 assignments of error in this Court, he argued on brief only 10 of them. The assignments of error that he did not argue, and that we will therefore not consider, are numbers 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, and 17. See Quesinberry v. Commonwealth, 241 Va. 364, 370, 402 S.E.2d 218, 222, cert, denied, 502 U.S. 834 (1991) (<HOLDING>). 9 Although the defendant stated at trial that
holding assignments of error not argued on brief are waived for purposes of appeal holding that claims made but not argued in a brief are waived holding that issues not argued in initial brief are deemed waived holding issues that are not specifically raised and argued in a partys opening brief are waived holding issues which are not specifically raised and argued in a partys opening brief are waived
