Virginia governor announces special session on gun control
Associated Press ^ | June 4, 2019 | Alan Suderman

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced on Tuesday that he’ll 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 Friday’s 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 Northam’s gun control bills out of hand, but a top GOP lawmaker signaled Monday that he’s open to a legislative debate. […]

Northam’s package of bills includes legislation that directly relates to Friday’s 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. …

Will he compare shooting deaths to late term abortion murders?

“a ban on silencers and high capacity ammunition magazines as well as broadening the ability of local governments to limit guns in city buildings.”

First off, you filthy, grace-dancing, baby-killing, blackfaced POS... that entire VA Beach Municipal Center complex is ALREADY a “gun-free zone!” Second, when in the HELL does a “silencer” prohibit a mass shooting? Third, the shooter had multiple weapons, very likely a second one on hand, so a limit on magazine capacity is irrelevant. Go piss on yourself, Northam.

Northam is compromised so he will take it on, virtue signal, the right.

Yeah. Forget the shooter had many problems at work, was a Democrat, had family and behavioral problems, and was a Black Muslim.

Instead, restrict the rights of honest citizens and make sure you are seen doing "something" that the Progressives will love.

Governor Baby-Killer is just another fascist and dictator in training.

This is an old Demon stunt and in the Playbook of Evil is called the “Shoot a few more, and see how many guns we can seize;” tactic.

Shhh. Really he is black. He goes about his business in honky-face. Of course, Virginians are such racists that that’s the only way they’ll let him rule./s

Not surprising.

The Ku Klux Klan has always been in favor of Gun Control.

as well as broadening the ability of local governments to limit guns in city buildings

There should be even more laws against employees who have been cleared to enter into a secured area being allowed to carry guns.

Because it made a Hugh and Series difference in De-Wayne's case.

Black-Face Ralph switched to Clown-Face for this knee-slapper.

They're contacting a consultant named Homer Price to see if he has any "Ever So Much More So" left in stock...

Give this guy some credit, he figured out the secret for surviving any political scandal: Just wait two weeks. People will forget.

A Republican caught doing what he did would have been a spineless coward and resigned within a day or two, with the GOP-elite in full support of their resignation.

Will our fool of a governor wear “black face” to hide his identify from this blow it out your ass “gun control” farce?

While Northam is a fool, and the Lt. Gov. a possible rapist, the most dangerous Democrat in Virginia is State’s AG Mark Herring, reportedly a receiver of Soro’s AG election funding organization.

Herring is as close to an official Virginia state Marxist dictator as we have got, so far. I’m hoping that someone starts a real serious investigation into his political funders, contacts with Soros and other Marxist groups such as the Va. branch of the Marxist Working Families Party and others that have infiltrated the state.

This “Herring” stinks like a dead “Red Grouper” in the hot summer sun. Time for the disinfectant of good investigative journalist and citizens input into what he is up to do, who he’s funded by, and what he has planned for a Democrat state of “Marxists Uber Alles”.

The Virginia GOP should get out in front of this and submit bills that will beter enable Virginians to defend themselves; such as the elimination of gun free zones, open carry without harassment by local police, no more concealed carry permit restrictions, etc.
