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.).”

Recall Governor Blackface.
Yabut....without guns, how are they supposed to shoot tyrants?
Formerly Commonwealth. Now Peoples Republic.
Knowledge is power. Trump needs to increase citizen power by highlighting the knowledge of what was done here.
Yep, a tyrannical government.
Everyone who cares already knows.
I disagree. It’s called waking up. The communists have expropriated the concept for evil purposes. But it’s a valid concept. There are good people who still believe the democrat party has legitimate points of view. They need to wake up and see the democrat party for what it is. Trump can help with that process by highlighting what is happening in Virginia.
Trump AND house has just won Virginia!!!
I hope so.
This governor is a psychopath.
He should be red flagged and taken into custody for “his own protection”.
Mockery.
Why be nice to them?
They all have that look about them, don’t they?
Be safe.
GOOD! It would've been a slow decay. Far better to show everyone the evils we face. They now need to delay this governor until the next election
“GOOD! It would’ve been a slow decay. Far better to show everyone the evils we face. They now need to delay this governor until the next election”
We’ll see how that plays out, but given this bunch of Democrats, I don’t expect them to play nice while we try to regroup.
The left just keeps pushing the envelope until they push right over the line and the public turns on them!!! There are MANY gun owners that are Dems and the 2nd Amendment is in the constitution a God given right not some “black face” governor’s right to take away!!! These Dems have gone to far!!! Virginia should really be recalling this governor!!!
If hes willing to murder an unborn infant hes willing to arrest a patriotic Virginian standing up for his rights.
The Us supreme court will be in a hypocritical position if they don’t maintain their position of incorporation and uphold the 2nd amendment in Virginia.
Otherwise and perhaps regardless blood may be fixing to be spilt in the state of Virginia in the name of liberty.
Northam is getting more like his Marxist authoritarian State’s Attorney General Mark “The Red” Herring. Hope the Democrats who voted for him are being to see him for what he is, an totalitarian wackjob governor, aided by an alleged rapist Lt. Governor and a Marxist, authoritarian AG.
Next November, let’s take back Virginia and drive the Democrat Reds back to Maryland and New York.
To whom it may concern... Take a good look.
Don’t give him any ideas.
No problem spending money to arrest law abiding citizens while they overhaul the justice system and allow murderers, illegal aliens and rapist to go free. The shooting will start soon
“How is it possible to take a gun away from a man with a gun?”
Well, as the redcoats marched back to Boston from Lexington and Concord, the Minutemen accomplished that feat by shooting them from cover.
