As if Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s wholesale attack on law-abiding gun owners wasn’t enough, the disgraced public official and his Michael Bloomberg-bought allies in the General Assembly now want the state’s hard-working taxpayers to foot the bill for their unconstitutional schemes. The budget bill (HB30) includes an appropriation of a quarter million dollars to carry out a host of gun control measures that Northam and his anti-gun allies hope to enact.
The $250,000 is appropriated to the Corrections Special Reserve Fund in order to provide for the “increase in the operating cost of adult correctional facilities resulting from the enactment” of Northam’s gun control measures. Among the enumerated laws that this allocation is meant to fund is a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, the criminalization of private firearms transfers, and gun confiscation orders issued without due process.Aside from the insult of forcing law-abiding Virginia taxpayers to pay for the diminution of their rights, the gun control allocation is a severe waste of resources. Northam’s Bloomberg-backed gun control measures will not make Virginia safer.
In additional to being unconstitutional, a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms will not reduce violent crime.
Long guns of any description are rarely used in violent crime. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data breaks down homicides by weapon type. In 2018, the FBI reported that there were five times as many individuals listed as killed with “knives or cutting instruments,” than with rifles of any kind. The data also showed that rifles were listed as being used in less homicides than “blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.)” or “personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).”

I doubt he would win the entire state, but he should have a couple rallies here in the waning weeks of the campaign anyway -- it'd at least force the dems to spend unplanned money here on their nominee, and Trump's presence would boost GOP candidates in the swing districts. Elaine Luria (VA-2) and Abigail Spanberger (Va-7), who voted to impeach Trump, are in majority R districts. They can be taken down.
The bastard is willing to do more than arrest.
A lot more.
Every time someone on the FR makes a joke about losing their guns in a boating accident I realize how close to being lost the 2nd amendment actually is because when people talk like that they’ve already relinquished ...
“Someone needs to start a recall campaign on him AND his Lt. Governor.”
Attempts are under way now, though it’s a lengthy process.

It’s just going to make the Virgina State Capitol ground zero for CWll. What a jackass !!!
The proverbial “spark”.
Excellent!
Thanks. I wonder why they just didn’t print the sentence in full in the original story.
So.....if a law abiding citizen “forgets” what he/she did with their lawfully owned firearms, will the proponent of infanticide use water-boarding?
Unlawful gun confication should be an order every law enforcement officer should refuse to obey.
Agreed. It’s a cowardly stupid comment.
Bring on the Boog!
Tar and Feathers.
Or a length of stout rope.
I agree. That would also send a clear message to their (our) liberal neighbors that not only will liberal politicians’ tyranny be “vigorously” opposed, but so will the tyrannical impulses of the liberal masses that put them in power. It’s time for every person to decide whether they are an American, or a domestic enemy merely masquerading as an American until they can completely subvert our founding principles.
$250,000 isn’t much for beds in a jail... But you could put some barbed wire around the old drive in movie theater and hold a couple thousand...
They can even play Al Gore and Michael Moore movies.
Like the Red Dawn drive-in? Double fence, guard towers, and propaganda blared 24/7. Fathers begging their sons for vengeance.
I’ll bet Governor Babykiller is watching that flick as a training film. He is dangerously megalomaniacal.
How long before he sics howling mobs against gun shows?
Should that be blackface babykiller?
Thank You
I’ve thought about that. But I decided that
1. His blackface shtick was politically incorrect but otherwise harmless. Good for pointing out his hypocrisy.
2. Abortion stops a beating heart but can now be committed on a viable infant already born, according to Northam.
In my opinion, Governor Babykiller is the more accurate title. It describes future murders under his rule.
