Virginia Governor Northam Increases Corrections Budget In Anticipation Of Jailing Gun Owners

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.).”

Harmless? Well to folks with a brain, yeah, but snowflake melting at a mile. LOL!

I suspect that this is the reason he wasn’t forced to resign after the blackface issue.

Actually the Dems in Va thought about it, then a couple days later it came out that the AG did the same and sexual assault accusations were levied against the Lt.Gov. The removal of all three would have elevated a Republican to the Governor's mansion and that put the kibosh on the removal talk.

[cidrasm]

“I suspect that this is the reason he wasn’t forced to resign after the blackface issue. He made a backroom deal to go nuclear on gun owners.” That is EXACTLY what I said a couple days ago. GMTA.

He's just paying back Bloomberg's $1M invested in his campaign for Governor.

[Kickass Conservative]

Maybe the $250,000 is for the cost of arresting Retailers who sell Tobacco Products to Military Members under 21 Years of Age.

That $1.4 Trillion Dollar Federal Appropriation Bill was full of Poison Pills like raising the Age to Purchase Tobacco Products to 21. They are sneaking all sorts of Liberty robbing Laws onto the books.

To bad POTUS Trump signed it into Law, but if he didn’t there would have been another Government Shutdown to blame him for. The Republic’s Death by a thousand cuts.

Governor Blackface and his Freedom hating Legislature are just doing the work DC can’t do when it comes to our Gun Rights.

By the time they START going door to door, it is time to make those visits extremely risky.

Get together with like-minded individuals who you can call on in an emergency to oppose tyranny when it comes.

“I think most of the firearms will be consigned to the deeps according to their owners. Oops, dropped it.”

So, why own a firearm if you are too cowardly to use it and need to play a childish game of make-believe?

[mabarker1]

Ballot, Jury and The Cartridge Box.

These Grandstanding idiot political scum have burned the bridges on the first two.

And there are some very massive numbers for There were 13.7 million hunters in the United States over age 16 -- 12.7 million of whom used rifles, shotguns or handguns for hunting, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. That means hunters constituted only 15.9 to 18.1 percent of the estimated 70-80 million gun owners in the U.S. in 2011 -- the latest year for which statistics are available.The Third one.

So you might want to think on things for a while, boy goobiner...

Tar and Feathers.

Or a length of stout rope.

During the four-month long Finnish Civil War of 1918, captured prisoners were frequently used for bayonet practice to give the newer recruits their first bloody introduction to the realities of their new trade. Only about one death in four could be reasonably desciribed as a *combet casualty*; the rest were executed prisoners, plus some who died of wounds, under interrogation, or in the subzero temperatures of unplanned-for prisoner-of-war facilities.

Even now, more than a hundred years later, the Finns can't decide what to call the war. The leftists and Socialists prefer the term *Civil War*, those on the winning side usually go for the more descriptive *War against Traitors* or *War for Finland.*

Regulation after the 1919 Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles included firearm reducing stipulations. Article 169 targeted the state: “Within two months from the coming into force of the present Treaty, German arms, munitions, and war material, including anti-aircraft material, existing in Germany in excess of the quantities allowed, must be surrendered to the Governments of the Principal Allied and Associated Powers to be destroyed or rendered useless.”[4] Article 177 further banned all civilian use of firearms, any civilian instruction on their use, and any civilian shooting exercises activity, especially banning all organizations or associations from taking part in any such use and/or activity or allowing it to happen, in order to crush down on perceived Prussian militarism of the German people in general.

In order to comply with the Versailles Treaty, in 1919 the German government passed the Regulations on Weapons Ownership, which declared that “all firearms, as well as all kinds of firearms ammunition, are to be surrendered immediately.”[5] Under the regulations, anyone found in possession of a firearm or ammunition was subject to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 marks.

On August 7, 1920, rising fears whether or not Germany could have rebellions prompted the government to enact a second gun-regulation law called the Law on the Disarmament of the People. It put into effect the provisions of the Versailles Treaty in regard to the limit on military-type weapons. However in spite of their intentions, all these laws failed to effectively put a complete stop to gun use and ownership, because no system of gun registration or licensing was in effect. To fix this and fully comply to the Treaty, in 1928 the Law on Firearms and Ammunition was enacted. It relaxed gun restrictions as to ownership (but not as to their use and instruction on their use, as these were still illegal according to the Versailles Treaty) and put into effect a strict firearm licensing scheme. Under this scheme, Germans could possess firearms, but were required to have separate permits to do the following: own or sell firearms, carry firearms (including handguns), manufacture firearms, and professionally deal in firearms and ammunition. Furthermore, the law restricted ownership of firearms to “... persons whose trustworthiness is not in question and who can show a need for a (gun) permit.”

Especially car associations lobbied for an easy gun permit for car owners[6] which was granted by the government for drivers traveling often in the countryside.[7]

Gun regulation of the Third Reich

The 1938 German Weapons Act, the precursor of the current weapons law, superseded the 1928 law. As under the 1928 law, citizens were required to have a permit to carry a firearm and a separate permit to acquire a firearm. But under the new law:
Gun restriction laws applied only to handguns, not to long guns or ammunition. The 1938 revisions completely deregulated the acquisition and transfer of rifles and shotguns, and the possession of ammunition.[8]
The legal age at which guns could be purchased was lowered from 20 to 18.[9][10]
Permits were valid for three years, rather than one year.[9] Holders of annual hunting permits, government workers, and NSDAP (the National Socialist German Workers’ Party) members were no longer subject to gun ownership restrictions. Prior to the 1938 law, only officials of the central government, the states, and employees of the German Reichsbahn Railways were exempted.[8]
Manufacture of arms and ammunition continued to require a permit, with the proviso that such permits would no longer be issued to any company even partly owned by Jews; Jews could not manufacture or deal in firearms or ammunition.[8] Under both the 1928 and 1938 acts, gun manufacturers and dealers were required to maintain records about purchasers of guns, with serial numbers. These records were to be delivered to a police authority for inspection at the end of each year.

The 1938 Regulations Against Jews’ Possession of Weapons, which came into force the day after Kristallnacht,[11][12] effectively deprived all Jews living under the Third Reich within the occupied Sudetenland and Austria of the right to possess any form of weapons, including truncheons, knives, firearms and ammunition. Exceptions were made for Jews and Poles who were foreign nationals under §3 of the act. [13][14] Before that, some police forces used the pre-existing “trustworthiness” clause to disarm Jews on the basis that “the Jewish population ‘cannot be regarded as trustworthy’”.[8]

Gun laws in Nazi Germany have been the subject of debate in the United States over gun regulations, with various opponents of gun regulation arguing that gun regulations in Nazi Germany helped the Nazis to cement power or to implement the Holocaust. Fact-checkers have described these claims or theories as “false” or “debunked”.[15][16][17][10] While Jews were subject to having their guns seized, the gun registry was so incomplete that many Jews retained their guns.[16] On the whole, gun laws were actually made less stringent for German citizens who were loyal to Nazi rule.[10][15] PolitiFact also writes, “a lack of guns was not the issue” in the rise of the Nazis and the Holocaust.[15]

Just bought a couple of items this week in fact.

Appears Governor Blackface is just another Democrat who wants to take away the people’s 2nd Amendment rights.

[Lazamataz]

250,000 isn’t real money whatsoever. This is a drop in the bucket of a multi-million dollar correction system. It may provide a tiny bit of overtime for some guards, figure 100, getting 2,500 each.

It is a symbolic move only, but the symbolism is chilling.

It’s what the New World Order and the United Nations would like to see.

Oh, I’m not supposed to say that. It could sound like a tinfoil nutjob conspiracy.

this!

I am hoping he meets more of a Mussolini type ending.

[Nifty]

Interesting, but in the context of any state budget, 250k is really nothing.

[John S Mosby]

Well that couldn’t be in Richmond. Richmond is an independent city-— not within a County of VA.

So, where is Northam from? For uh,movement tracing and property assize,that is.
