Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe is outlawing the open carry of guns in some state-owned buildings and pushing for tighter gun control measures.
McAuliffe signed an executive order Thursday at the Capitol setting up a task force aimed at more robust prosecution of gun crimes. The order also establishes a statewide tip line to report gun crimes, and orders state police to request a trace of every gun involved in a crime in Virginia.
U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and Attorney General Mark Herring joined the governor, along with parents of victims killed in gun-related crimes. That included Andy and Barbara Parker, the parents of Alison Parker, who was shot and killed in August.
McAuliffe has been an outspoken advocate for tighter gun control measures, but has failed to get those efforts past the Republican-controlled General Assembly.

Liberty vs. Security. I’ll stand with Liberty every time. Not worth the creep of fascism.
Virginia has been flooded by refugees from that hell-hole Maryland for many years now. That bastard carpetbagger McAuliffe needs to get the hell out and go back to whatever slime pit he oozed out of.
Part of me is glad to be back home in VA but another part is missing NH, we did not have to deal with this $hit up there.
It’s neck deep. T-Mac’s governorship was a concerted effort by the Clintonistas to get him elected (so he could help Hilly’s 2016 prospects), aptly enabled by the GOPe sabotaging Ken Cuccinelli. At a rally in northern Va earlier this year, T-Mac promised Hilly he’d “deliver Virginia” for her. I would LOVE to see him disappointed, however that might come about. In the meanwhile, he’s working his Leftist “sh!t” on the Old Dominion whenever & however he can.
ALAS VIRGINIA. The land that gave us General Robert E. Lee, General J.E.B. Stuart, General James Longstreet, General Stonewall Jackson, and General George Pickett.
ALAS VIRGINIA; how low you have fallen, now you have elected a Clinton co-conspirator, and criminal to lead you into the 21’st century.
It’s not fascism or creeping anything. Every serialized firearm is meant to be traced to the ffl that sold it for those exact reasons. What you’re suggesting is we should never ever even attempt to go after straw buyers. That’s absurd. If we trace them to an FFL that sold several guns to someone that turned around and sold them to criminals, that’s someone that needs to be in jail.
The only issue is that the state police aren’t well suited for such.
I was talking about private sales between individuals, not FFLs. Mandating that individuals do background checks or require paperwork for a private sale is a slippery slope I don’t want to be near.
When you elect democrats, this is what happens.
——Gungrabber Clinton-crony McAuliffe ——
You miss the larger point..... that would be Presidential wannabe gungrabber Clinton-crony McAuliffe
He is the designated successor to Hillary
That’s not what I was talking about. I was talking about gun tracing.
