Virginia Dem. says guns need to be titled, registered, gun owners like ‘little children’

On Wednesday, Mike Dickinson, a Virginia Democrat running to replace Eric Cantor, R-Va., in the House of Representatives, compared gun owners to children in a message on Twitter. Earlier in the day, he said guns should be “titled” and registered just like cars.

“Gun owners are like little kids right now. They all the rights but none of the responsibility (sic). With rights comes responsibility,” he tweeted.

One person said Dickinson should either “quit huffing paint thinner or quit twitter.”

“Reading your tweets is like watching Idiocracy,” added “Chair Force One.”

One person, however, expressed hope he would win the election “so you can use ARMED Govt agents to disarm these gun owners.” We were informed by email that individual was being facetious with his comment.

In another tweet, Dickinson said that anyone who sells a gun should be responsible if that weapon is used in a crime, making a comparison to bar owners who sell alcohol to those who drink and drive.

“If you as a private person sell someone a gun and it is used in a crime you should be held civilly responsible,” he said.

“If you sell a gun and it ends up being used in a crime or shooting- you should be held responsible,” he wrote in another message.

“Gun retailers should be as well if a gun is used in crime,” he added in another tweet.

Dickinson, however, said he is not for “removing guns,” but compared them “to the norovirus” and made it clear he wants them to be treated like vehicles, and all sellers held responsible for actions taken after the sale.

He also suggested every state have the same gun control laws.

“If every state had same gun control laws, America would be healthy. However we do not. We have some sick states that get everyone else ill,” he tweeted.

He also went after the NRA, saying the organization should fight for abortion and LGBT rights since it supports freedom.

Recently, Dickinson attacked Fox News and suggested the FCC “monitor and regulate” the network.

Dickinson is a fool but he does illuminate the liberal mind at work and his notions are not his own but the latest wrinkle coming in the 'gun control' crusade. Watch for rats to start trying to push these concepts in your state.

Yup.
If you sell someone a car and they drive drunk in it and kill someone, then you should be held responsible.

Just play his quote over and over on TV and radio, and he will be history. Assuming the Republican has the backbone . . . .

Bar owners are only responsible if they sell alcohol to an obviously intoxicated person who causes damage by immediately going out and drinking and driving. Anyone selling or deliveriong a gun to an obviously intoxicated person would already be equally liable under existing negligence law for damages that intoxicated person caused with the gun received.

What describes the whole religion of liberalism better than a bunch of immature brats wanting “freedom” with none of the responsibilities of paying for their choices?

That’s the whole appeal of liberalism - “you do what you want and someone else will pay for it”.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to turn society back to a sane view of gun ownership is to adopt the Swiss model of an “assault” weapon being issued by the state to every homeowner between the ages of 18 and 60 who is not:

- a convicted felon
- conscientious objector
- disabled to the point of not being able to operate the firearm
- ruled mentally incompetent.

Excellent idea!

All states should follow the Vermont model for Concealed Carry!

Yup. And if you issue somebody a driver’s license, and the driver subsequently injures a person, the license issuer should be held liable.

Why not Mandatory Background Checks on all sales of automobiles?

With no “Car Show Loopholes”

Considering most folks imprisoned for murdering, assaulting and ganging support leftists, you might want to add democrat voters to your embargo list.

And then he could go after the spoon manufactures for making him so fat and his parents for making him so GD ugly.
