As if Virginia Gov. Ralph Northams wholesale attack on law-abiding gun owners wasnt enough, the disgraced public official and his Michael Bloomberg-bought allies in the General Assembly now want the states 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 Northams 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. Northams 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.).

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam needs to build some gallows, so that after his trial and conviction for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, Northam can be sentenced to be publicly hanged as a traitor.
This commie governor would have to round us all up and capture us, first. Hed be stopped d- in his tracks long before that
$250K seems like not much. Are they figuring on shooting most of those who refuse to comply??
It will be interesting to see how this pays out.
They are certainly talking a big game, but I do believe the opposition has solidified more quickly and more resolutely than they may have anticipated.
Don’t y’all have a provision for a recall election? Gray Davis his arse!
Dear Virginians, Godspeed.
The Democrats are quickly turning the US into a police state.
Hi.
“Did they also increase the budget for body bags?”
That’s an important question.

The civil war will begin in Virginia. 2020 will be a very interesting year!
I wonder if he's going to meet the same fate and be just as infamous...
Notice when Antifas surround and hit white haired people with metal objects and boards the police stand down with folded arms in the distance.
“We cannot provide a full security force for every public speaking event and gathering due to budget restrictions. Officers are told to keep groups apart if possible.”—various CA and OR and other states’ excuse.
NOW they find some money for cops?
OUR President needs to protect the Constitution and shut this shit down PRONTO !
This cabal of DIM criminals is really pushing it, aren’t they. Hopefully, Citizens there won’t tolerate this fascist, anti-Constitutional BS. We live in interesting times.
The virginia voters must be nitwits. The guv is a black-face or hood-wearing guy who also want to murder babies after they are born. The ag is accused of rape by two women. The lt guv admits to wearing black face. Quite a group of fools you have there.
No way anyone can dredge the enormous numbers of swamps, rivers and waterways, not to mention the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic coast.
I think most of the firearms will be consigned to the deeps according to their owners. Oops, dropped it.
