Police clear committee room after uproar following 12-9 vote for bill targeting assault weapons, high capacity magazines
Roanoke News ^ | 2-7-20 | Amy Friedenberger

House Democrats used their majority Friday to advance the most controversial gun control bill this General Assembly session, a ban on the sale of assault weapons and the possession of "high capacity" magazines of 12 or more rounds.

The House Public Safety Committee backed House Bill 961 on a 12-9 party-line vote, sending it to the floor of the House of Delegates. The bill would, among other things, require Virginians to turn over or destroy ammunition magazines considered to be “high capacity” and allow the possession of centerfire assault rifles but prohibit the transfer of sale of them in most situations.

The Democrats no longer care about freedom, liberty or democracy

They are a totalitarian party set upon enslaving you and your families until you are under their thumb.

This fall - kick them all out.

It’s amazing red Virginia lasted as long as it did with that huge sociopath magnet next to it drawing sociopaths from all over the US to settle and vote in NVA. With the growth of the fed state in the last 40 years or so it’s a wonder this didn’t happen long before. Folks should consider how their own state would do treading water with that ever-growing boat anchor attached to their state for decade upon decade.

The capital should be rotated so every region and state gets to experience the benefits and drawbacks of the fed monster and the massive private support structure that services it.

It’s pathetic that these clueless assholes and their supporters have no idea how a semiautomatic firearm operates.

Democrats serve their benefactors in foreign communist governments and the drug cartels. Saw an article within the past few days from the Chinese government showing its desire for Americans to be disarmed. And our big free traitors want to please their benefactors in China.

So campaign and contribute to Republicans, or your Second Amendment rights will certainly be violated in the near future.

I can only believe that these fools ate trying to instigate a violent reaction thinking that they can then use the letter of the law to castigate the perpetrators as villains.

Swamp denizens don’t want to live in DC.

Unfortunately not possible. The next Virginia general election is in November of 2021.

During the Clinton '90s, police ran in large groups to every verbal domestic quarrel neighbors would call them to and arrested each man who owned firearms. Then they would put the firearms on public display in the news along with a count of all ammunition. The media would harp about how many rounds the man had to imply as to how dangerous he could be. Sheds were called bunkers by the media people, etc.

See how that works? Most voters now are oblivious to it.

Don’t kid yourself. They know. And they are not against the ownership of guns. They just want the State to be the only one to be able to own guns. And the Agents of the State to be the only ones to possess guns.
