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.).”

Ralphieboy doesn’t realize that the getting there part is always the most fun for those who he try’s to take to jail.
“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.
violence is the excuse..
controlling us is the reason. it’s clear the tyrants fear an armed population and for good reason.. When CW2 starts, the tyrants will be the first target.
Personally, my back yard could use some plowing and tilling. ;)
Or a well known public figure..
Like Mark Levin or some other legal gun owner in the state that is well known..
to make an example of.
I think most of you Freepers fail to understand, that this sort of scenario has played out before in VA. The “late unpleasantness” of the nineteenth century was not fought over slavery. Virginians are slow to anger.....
Growing up in a left-wing family, I knew a lady that looked very much like Aunt Jemima (she worked for my aunt). She voted Republican and quietly expressed great concern about what aid to unwed mothers was doing to the family structure of her community. Now older, I have come to appreciate her common sense.
Why? PA voted for this crap! Time to shit or get off the pot. Get 30,000 armed citizens to march to the capital and seal it off! 10,000 to seal off the capital, 20,000 to have their backs! Then tell the legislators and the Governor that they either vote for freedom and protection for the 2nd Admendment, and immediately resign or die where they are. No National Guard, no police, no Antifa can fight a force that size!
Amen to that, brother.
No kidding. I know a number of individuals who possess common, usable, everyday functional firearms, also ammo and related gear, worth well in excess of $250 thousand.
Governor Buttham ought to consider flourescent orange face paint from here on out, just to highlight, as it were, the distinguished from the deplored.
Aunt? I ain’t yo’ aunt! I’m the guvna of the commonwealth of Virginia, Ah’ll have you know! Now gimme dat gun! Don’t make no ne’min’ what you put on yo’ pancake.
The War of Northern Aggression? (And I’m a Yank!)
History is written by the victors but some facts do make it through. Follow the money. (Always) Abusive tariffs were a chunk.

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are.
A whopping $250k.
I always thought the dead dictator’s name was pronounced Chow-Chess-Coo.
Northam needs to be known as Governor Babykiller.
Why yes I have read some of Claire Wolfe’s writings. Backwoods Home Mag IIRC.
I wonder where all the gun grabbers are going to move to because they surely will not be going home to live in the neighborhoods of the people they have vilified.
I don’t mind the people posts, but yes, Virginians need to do something to depose the anti-constitutionalists in their government.
Thanks!
