As if Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s wholesale attack on law-abiding gun owners wasn’t enough, the disgraced public official and his Michael Bloomberg-bought allies in the General Assembly now want the state’s hard-working taxpayers to foot the bill for their unconstitutional schemes. The budget bill (HB30) includes an appropriation of a quarter million dollars to carry out a host of gun control measures that Northam and his anti-gun allies hope to enact.
The $250,000 is appropriated to the Corrections Special Reserve Fund in order to provide for the “increase in the operating cost of adult correctional facilities resulting from the enactment” of Northam’s gun control measures. Among the enumerated laws that this allocation is meant to fund is a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, the criminalization of private firearms transfers, and gun confiscation orders issued without due process.Aside from the insult of forcing law-abiding Virginia taxpayers to pay for the diminution of their rights, the gun control allocation is a severe waste of resources. Northam’s Bloomberg-backed gun control measures will not make Virginia safer.
In additional to being unconstitutional, a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms will not reduce violent crime.
Long guns of any description are rarely used in violent crime. FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data breaks down homicides by weapon type. In 2018, the FBI reported that there were five times as many individuals listed as killed with “knives or cutting instruments,” than with rifles of any kind. The data also showed that rifles were listed as being used in less homicides than “blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.)” or “personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.).”

You gonna round us up, Governor Blackface?
A sheriff needs to arrest him for crimes against the constitution. Deputize the entire county and see how it all works out. I’m ready to have them yell sic semper tyrannus one more time!
“In additional to being unconstitutional, a ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms will not reduce violent crime. “
That doesn’t make any difference to our enemies and we have no friends in Washington.
All your guns are belong to us.
Funding for more cells?
He doesn’t need more money since he intends to release convicted criminals.
Whadda vile POS.....all of em.
They’re the ones that ought to be locked up.
That doesn’t make any difference to our enemies and we have no friends in Washington.
Correct.
Progs are working to equate owning an AR style rifle or any semi automatic will be placed on the same level as Child Porn, massive fines, long prison sentences, the works.
Did they also increase the budget for body bags?
That money can go towards covering funerals for politicians when services will be held in state at the capital.
What part of ‘behind every blade of grass’ does he not understand.
Man, he’s looking for a war.
The man is really gonna chance starting a civil war in his state? This will not end well for him and I hope people in Virginia are already starting recall procedures to remove him from office.
‘Governor Blackface’ ... LoL !!! (I’m stealing that !!!)
Indeed.
Why not just build prison camps?
250k isn’t going to get him much.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think Governor Blackface is thinking about separating families here.
Children are going to be ripped away from their mom and dads, because those moms and dads are going to be in prison.
But I guess Governor Blackface can just have a discussion with some attending physicians and then just kill the children in a comfortable manner.
