Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced on Tuesday that hell recall lawmakers to the state Capitol in the coming weeks to take up a package of gun-control legislation, which he said is urgently needed to prevent killings like Fridays mass shooting in Virginia Beach.
Northam said he plans to convene a special legislative session this summer.
The Democrat said in an Associated Press interview ahead of his announcement that he wants the Republican-controlled General Assembly to hear from the public about the need for common-sense law related to guns and accessories.
Republicans have previously rejected Northams gun control bills out of hand, but a top GOP lawmaker signaled Monday that hes open to a legislative debate. [ ]
Northams package of bills includes legislation that directly relates to Fridays shooting including a ban on silencers and high capacity ammunition magazines as well as broadening the ability of local governments to limit guns in city buildings. But Northam said other recent shootings, including the death last month of a 9-year-old girl who was shot at a community cookout in Richmond, are also driving his call for a special session.

Whats his explanation for all the gun laws that were broken during the recent shooting, that didnt stop the carnage? What new laws will he come up with potential shooters will obey?
How did the fact the guy had a silencer cost more lives? If it didnt contribute to costing more lives, it wont save any lives by being missing from another shooting.
Magazine limitation were just stricken down by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California no less.
What an idiot.
Legally purchased handguns.
Or, as I have actually seen at a couple places, force men to have vasectomies. Same as an abortion right? Uh, WUT? Some of these people are really over the edge. So, mr. gov, try to further infringe on something that the citizens were guaranteed would not happen. I’m sure your legislators can be easily bullied into passing something. Even if it doesn’t do anything. As an aside, show of hands that thought his alleged black face stunt would finish this dems career? Beuhler?
Typical Democrat gun grabbing Communist socialist.
But Virginia has long past the red line a long time so its too be expected.
The next time there’s someone who successfully defends themselves with a gun a special session should be called to repeal all gun restrictions and licensing requirements.
In fact, since the VA Beach nut job was stopped by someone shooting him, that should be the purpose of Coonman’s call to action.
Which Northam made the announcement? The racist blackface one, or kill babies after birth infanticide one?
5.56mm
ALL THIS IS ABOUT is taking guns away from law abiding citizens. You don't give a tinkers damn about us. If the thugs kill us, you don't care, mainly because 90% of us don't vote for you commies and socialists anyway.
Northam the baby killer is crazy.
Limiting guns in public buildings just makes innocent, law-biding people sitting ducks, just like in Virginia Beach the other day.
As if the criminals like the low IQ, low impulse negro shooter was going to obey any silly sign?
And why should countless law-biding citizens be punished for a crime they didn’t commit by having their Second Amendment rights infringed?
Governor “Coonman”!!!
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
They should just declare more gun-free zones. That would fix it.
Oh, but the baby would be kept comfortable while the doctor and woman go to discuss how to kill it.
Do I really need a sarcasm tag?
Fine, he’s calling in the legislators.
Has he considered the will of the people?
So, they prohibit Black Democrats and other Leftists from possessing firearms? And they allow concealed carry in Government offices?
I suppose the problem is now solved!

That's the law. Now enforce it.
Gov. Coonman Blackface Moonwalker thinks he still has some credibility. That’s rich.
Hahahahaha
“...BS political stunt....”
It shows (again) how totally useless the RATS are. They are nothing, they have nothing for their states. Just more lines from the RAT play book.
If banning stuff will prevent criminals from committing crimes, why don’t we do opioids first since they kill more people than guns? Oh wait....
