The gun was NOT an AK47. I was not an “assault weapon” and was not banned under the prior assault weapons ban. The magazine in the gun would be banned under proposed legislation.

Why did this assclown not have 10 guns pointed at him during this stunt?

Seems like a standard-issue Democrat to me.

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert interrupted Morrissey’s speech to ask him to remove his finger from inside the gun’s trigger-guard — a basic gun-safety practice.

It's a common theme: politicians and media types telling US what guns we should not have, and all the while violating basic gun safety practice, because they know next to NOTHING about guns to start with.

Me, I've just about had it with this whole charade. These people mean to take our civil rights by any means necessary, starting with the right to keep and bear arms. There will be war.

If he’s a convicted felon, and I’m not sure that he is from reading the article, wouldn’t he be violating the law by possessing a firearm?

If any of his convictions could have carried a maximum penalty of one year or more, even if he wasn't actually sentenced that long, then he committed a Federal felony by possessing a firearm.

The guy who lent him the firearm also committed a felony by letting him have the firearm.

“I don’t think you should be able to possess an assault rifle,” Morrissey told ABC News on Friday.

I think we all agree on that point - I don't think YOU should be allowed to possess ANY weapon, Mr. Morrissey. Dangerous fool.

Can you imagine the hand wringing of what the liberals would do or say had this moron’s finger slipped causing several rounds to shoot and possibly ricochet hitting or killing someone in that room? Would libs STILL be on a rabid anti-gun stance even when it was one of their own that caused the problem with not knowing how to properly handle a loaded weapon? Would the same libs want to prosecute this dopey liberal to the full extent of the law and possible the death penalty if the bullets discharged killed one or more people?

He is not a convicted felon. He is a disbarred lawyer who got his license back on a 4-3 vote of the state supreme court.

This is the Virginia legislature. Folks walk about the state wearing pistols ~ just like it was normal eh, and there's also a concealed carry situation where law abiding folks, and even state legislators, can carry concealed weapons.

There are 100 members of the House ~ I'd guess there were 99 firearms ready to bring to bear on any problem.

If it's diffferent in other states that's their problem.

Sure would have been good if a guard put a slug into him for that stunt...who knows the condition of the gun - or the condition of his brain.
