Kaine wants gun show sales to require background checks

I hope the people of Virginia are enjoying this POS. Yesterday he had another liberal proclamation that made Fox. To think that they are going to elect a solid dim government in ‘08 is sickening.

Please don't blame all of us. I came back early from a vacation to make sure I voted against this er, individual, Kaine. The northern parts of the state have become infested with bureaucrats and members of the chattering classes.

In Alexandria City, we couldn't elect an African American Republican to the Council, by, like, 187 votes or something crazy like that. Don't blame me -- I vote at every election.

I used to say, at least Virginia is not Maryland, or not DC, but that may not be applicable anymore.

The Gilmore-Warner Senate race should be interesting....

They want to close the “loophole” that allows INDIVIDUALS to sell guns to each other.

[CharlesWayneCT]

The Virginia Tech teachers think they should be allowed to carry their weapons on campus, to stop nuts like Chou.

The constitution is on their side. Right to Keep and BEAR arms.

But still the public entity prohibits them from protecting themselves.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Under current law, background checks on buyers are not required by unlicensed dealers who privately sell and trade firearms at the shows.

“Unlicensed Dealer.”

That’s an oxymoron. All dealers are licensed. People who are unlicensed aren’t dealers.

The correct phase is “(unlicensed, if you must) private sellers.”

[CharlesWayneCT]

You got it. “Unlicensed Dealer” means guy who owns a gun and wants to sell it.

They want to institute checks for EVERY transfer of gun ownership.

[spunkets]

There’s no such thing as an unlicenced dealer. How did this foll become Gov? Are most of the folks in VA dumber than he is?

[Myrddin]

I see Virginia is enjoying the fruits of electing a Democrat. I was on travel in northern Virginia when Kaine was campaigning. He struck me as a dork. His behavior doesn't surprise me.

[LibLieSlayer]

I apologize for stating what I was trying to say in that way. I meant is sarcastically and it sounded so literal. I know Virginia is almost evenly split. I love the State and pray it returns to Conservative dominance. GOD bless you for fighting the good fight!

“The Gilmore-Warner race should be interesting”

I hope you are right. My guess is that Gilmore gets 35 to 40 percent. He really lacks the ability to inspire anyone.

"unlicensed dealers who privately sell and trade firearms..."

"That's a contradiction in terms. If someone is selling a firearm privately, HE'S NOT A DEALER. He's a private citizen."

No it isn't. A deal is a deal with or without a license. You think drug dealers have a license?

Former state police Superintendent Gerald Massengill,

Never trust a halfa== viginia cop.

Kaine said on a morning radio show. "You want people who are mentally adjudicated to be dangerous to have guns or you don't. If you don't want them to, then you ought to close that gun show loophole."

You want people who are mentally adjudicated to be dangerous to be free to walk on the streets or you don't. If you don't want them to, then you ought to close that parole loophole.

[lowbridge]

You think drug dealers have a license?

Absolutely.

They're called Pharmacists ;-)

[supercat]

Thank you. Cho’s purchase was illegal...

Was it actually? I thought that the judge believed Cho to be unstable, but did not legally rule that he posed a danger to others.

[supercat]

"You either want felons to have guns or you don't,"

Yeah, but a background check will no longer indicate whether someone has actually been convicted of anything by due process of law, will it? Won't it also now flag lots of other people who have not received due process?

[avacado]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good one! You got me!

[El Gato]

NICS is useless and a waste of money. Eliminate it and send the money to the DoD for use in a Constitutional federal government function, like kicking Jihadi A$$.

[MaxMax]

elk, I'm doing my part here in Virginia Beach. One of the reasons I moved
here 2-years ago was because of the CCW laws.

Kaine is a failure as a Govnerd in so many ways. Maybe we can get Allen
to kick his ass to the curb. I'll be campaigning for anyone running against him.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

No surprise here. When the Gov was mayor of Richmond, he used city money to bus people to the Million Moron Mom March.

What is happening to my state? It's scary!
