The moron had his thumb on the trigger and the magazine was inserted.
Holy crap. I would have ducked! But then again I would not have been in that room full of politicians since I have CC.
A Virginia politician found guilty of committing a vicious assault in 1999 may be angling to become the states next attorney general.
Democratic Del. Joseph D. Morrissey was disbarred and lost his law license in 2003 after attacking a man beating him with a large ring around his finger.
According to legal brief filed on behalf of the victim, Morrissey shouted, Im going to kill you. Im going to beat your head in, and then attempted to make good on his promise.
When the man attempted to escape his beating, Morrissey smashed his head into the corner of a brick wall, according to a court filing by the victims lawyers.
In 2002, a jury decided that Morrissey must pay his victim $40,000 in compensatory damages and $1,000,000 in punitive damages. The amount was later reduced.

I am going to look for this idiot tomorrow as I walk the halls of Richmond with VCDL. I will remind him what an idiot he is and that the whole world knows it.
What an idiot...
Assault words. Ban his mouth.
Mr. Morrisey, there is a state in this union where your views would be appreciated. It’s called Maryland. Get your ass out of the Commonwealth, plz, and go join your own kind. KTHXBAI.
Why are there so many drunken Irish Dems from Virginia in the news lately? Jim Moron, Gerry Corruptolly, and now this Fegelein.
So glad they stood on principle.
Imbecile,well he’s a democtar it’s expected.
Who. in God’s name, elected this offshoot of evolution? Hopefully, he is homosexual and won’t be breeding anymore of his mutation.

Hey, thanks for electing a criminal, VA.
Under the Lautenberg amendment, I think he is barred from possessing any firearms.
Will he be prosecuted?
Pretty humdrum résumé for a dammocrap. No murders, no rapes, no dead interns, no molested underage boys or girls, no arkancides, no dead choir members [secret lovers?], no cocaine parties, no choom choom gang, no “bitch set me up,” no billions stolen from investment clients. I’m surprised they even admitted him to the club.
I hope this hypocrite is not hiding tomorrow while VCDL is there. I want to find him.
You tell me.
A Virginia lawmaker who drew gasps from his colleagues when he brandished a borrowed AK-47 during an anti-gun speech Thursday was found guilty in 2002 of committing a vicious 1999 assault, was sanctioned for legal misconduct while prosecuting a rape case, spent six months in jail for contempt of a federal court, and saw his law license revoked in 2003... Morrissey paid a man $500,000 in 2007 to settle a 2002 court judgment against him, related to a 1999 physical assault. According to legal brief filed by the victim's attorneys, Morrissey shouted, "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to beat your head in," before beating the victim and "smash[ing] his head into the corner of a brick wall." ...December 1993 suspension of Morrissey's law license for six months following a complaint from a rape victim in a case he prosecuted. Morrissey, she said, allowed her rapist to plea-bargain his case down to a misdemeanor after his father paid $50,000 half to the victim and the other half to charities Morrissey chose. She also testified that Morrissey hid the details of the plea-bargain from her... his misconduct in a felony drunk-driving case. Without asking the court's permission, Morrissey issued a new arrest warrant with a reduced charge of misdemeanor reckless driving. He was required to write a formal letter of apology to the judge... legal ethics training after he represented a criminal defendant in the same case in which he had previously prosecuted him. Another reprimand came for engaging in a fist fight with a defense attorney whose client he was prosecuting. In 1999, the bar suspended Morrissey's law license again, this time for three years, after he made "public statements about the identity, testimony or credibility of prospective witnesses" in a federal court case. Morrissey was convicted on two counts of contempt of court in that case, and sentenced to 90 days in jail plus three years of probation. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia also disbarred him, effectively denying him future access to plead cases in federal court... was cited for contempt in Chesterfield County, Va. after he directed an angry outburst at a judge during a sentencing hearing. After he was released from jail, Morrissey violated the terms of his probation by "attempting to circumvent the conditions of probation and lying to [his] probation officer," ...spent an additional 90 days in jail and his law license was formally revoked.
