Ralph Northam's push to ban the sale of assault weapons has failed after members of his own party balked at the proposal. Quoting: Boaty Senators voted to shelve the bill for the year and ask the state crime commission to study the issue, an outcome that drew cheers from a committee room packed with gun advocates. Four moderate Democrats joined Republicans in Monday's committee vote, rejecting legislation that would have prohibited the sale of certain semiautomatic firearms, including popular AR-15 style rifles, and banned the possession of magazines that hold more than 12 rounds. The bill was a top priority for Northam, a Democrat who has campaigned heavily for a broad package of gun-control measures. More: [link to wjla.com (secure)] The commie left, including the MSM, ran a quid pro quo with Northam after all that blackface shit came out. They promised to drop coverage and pressure for his to resign if he danced the poot for them on gun control. He was not acting of himself but as a puppet of the extreme left. Luckily for VA, cooler heads prevailed. This is how all that #MeToo and past racial shit is being used, as fodder for political blackmail. |

They know they're drawing a line they can't enforce if they go ahead with these draconian gun control laws. Quoting: Revbo™ Agreed. Textbook case for the ENTIRE point of the 2A and it's benefits. Never has this quotation been more poignant. "When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." -unknown ^this |
