On the eve of the anniversary of the worst mass shooting in Virginia history, Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, both Virginia Democrats, are asking Congress to follow the state’s lead in enacting restrictions on the purchase and use of firearms.
Kaine, who was governor when a lone gunman killed 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech in 2007, joined with Warner, his predecessor as governor, to introduce legislation on Thursday that would use a package of gun control laws that Virginia enacted last year as the model for new federal laws on firearms.
The Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act of 2021 would incorporate six proposals that Gov. Ralph Northam signed into law a year ago, a year after a gunman killed 12 people and wounded four others at a municipal building in Virginia Beach.
The provisions of the proposed federal act would: require universal background checks for firearms sales; limit handgun purchases to one a month; require reporting of lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours; hold people liable for leaving loaded firearm in an unsecure place accessible to a minor; create restrictions on firearm possession to protect victims of domestic violence; and temporarily remove firearms from people who pose a high risk of harming themselves or others.
“Virginia knows all too well the heartbreaking consequences of gun violence,” Warner and Kaine said Thursday in a statement. “We’ve seen it in the tragedies of Virginia Tech and Virginia Beach and the countless drive-by shootings, domestic violence, and suicides by firearm across the country.”

I wish these leftist phonies would stop pretending to care.
What tech shooting?
We desperately need a plan for ‘politician control’. Eradicate political careers, enforce very strict term limits, introduce sweeping legislation to prevent any government worker and/or DC bureaucrat from political activities (conflict of interest), and make vote fraud punishable by a minimum sentence of 20 years incarceration.
“a lone [KOREAN] gunman killed 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech in 2007 … [in 2019] a [NEGRO] gunman killed 12 people and wounded four others at a municipal building in Virginia Beach.”Where are all the white supremacists in this? Why aren't they out killing and supremeing with the other races?

I actually whole-heartedly agree that all communist states should give up their ability to defend themselves. I like that plan!
The Virginia Tech was in 2007, 14 years ago. The attacker killed thirty-two people and wounded seventeen others with two semiautomatic pistols.
The Virginia Tech shooting, even.
All those gun grabber actors try to get as much mileage from the big bad gun monster as they can wring blood out of a turnip. These pompous asses can’t even sit down from the wads of money they get in their back pockets from their crocodile tears and dramatic acting job.
Always to control the thing a human uses, but never to control the human responsible, right?
Mom: “Waddaya want that thing for?”
“You’ll hurt somebody with that!”
I would suggest that every politician receive a pistol with the barrel facing them
Meanwhile China and Russian military marches on...

Guns were banned from Tech’s campus when the shooting occurred

So they are contributing to the anti Asian hate?

**The provisions of the proposed federal act would: require universal background checks for firearms sales; blah blah blah,**
The same democrat wet dreams they have had since 1984 when they decided to put their dreams of banning handguns on the back burner and go after RIFLES! Something they said they would NEVER do.
If they get a ban on semi-auto rifles they will be back for the handguns.
