McAuliffe: 'I'm Going to Push' for More Gun Control if Elected VA Governor
Big Government ^ | 9/25/2013 | Tony Lee

Posted on 09/25/2013 6:27:00 PM PDT by markomalley

On Wednesday, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, said he would "push" for more gun control if he is elected governor in a debate with Republican Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

McAuliffe invoked the Washington Navy Yard, Aurora, and Newtown tragedies and asked, "How many people have to be killed until we wake up to have sensible gun ownership?"

He said he was "dismayed with United States Senate this year" for not bringing up a bill which was co-sponsored by Sens. Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) that would have mandated universal background checks.

"As governor, I'm going to push," McAuliffe said. "We need universal background checks for everyone to keep our loved ones safe."

Maybe because the Republicans can’t win is because too many folks here are too involved in TV shows instead of real life!

I. . . don’t think so. McCarpetbagger says he’s going to limit guns the same week of the huge gun-show in Chantilly ?? 200,000 typical attendence, and all pro-2A ????

He just stepped on his crank BIGTIME. . .

If elected, the people who voted for me are as stupid as pudding and I am really proud of that.

For him to speak so openly and confidently about what is sure to go over like a fart in church to most Virginians, leads me to believe that the voter fraud fix is already in and he knows it.

Past elections have caused me to be this cynical.

It's easy when your base is full of low information voters.

There was a story about the race on my local TV news site. Some damn fool posted, “YAAAAAYYYYYY McAuliffe!” among other moronic sentiments. I called McAuliffe corrupt in my response, and my post was removed.

Keep it up, big guy. You’re doing great. So articulate and such a visionary with such a good grasp on the things that matter to the people of Virginia.

Only ONE reason you say something like this, about a subject THIS energizing to your opposition, at this point in the race:

It is because you already know, to the very last vote count, the exact results of the upcoming election.

Are there any examples in history of free people surrendering their only means of protection and still remaining free?

I have asked liberals this a hundred times and I have yet to get a response.
