Charlottesville Mayor: Car Attack Shows Need to Limit Concealed Carry
Breitbart ^ | August 18, 2017 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 08/19/2017 6:25:51 AM PDT by Zakeet

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer (D) addressed the August 12 car attack that killed Heather Heyer, suggesting it highlights the need to limit concealed carry.

He said he supports the Second Amendment, and is even "friends with many gun owners," but he thinks more restrictions are necessary following the rally in which a car attack took an innocent life.

According to the Atlantic, Signer said, "While I am…a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, that right, like all Constitutional rights, comes with limits." He then said, "Just as machine guns cannot be owned by civilians in this country ... it should not be acceptable to open-carry or concealed-carry firearms at an event of the sort we saw last weekend."

What? What does a person driving a car have anything to do with guns? Why did the police let people climb on a car with blunt weapons?

Actually, the behavior of the leftists highlights the need to carry an extra high cap magazine.

I heard them say this mayor was going to come out and address government response to protesting and public safety. Really? The guy who screwed up and allowed(enabled) two factions clash in his streets is now going to lecture us on public safety? Clueless Moron. I hope that little disconnect is why he decided to cancel the press conference.

Is he talking about concealed CARry?

Nah. I know what he’s talking about. He knows that the Antifa Bolsheviks will be emboldened by the press coverage over the past week and they will step up their violence.

It will eventually be met with the true reason for the Second Amendment—a militia who will show them the folly of wearing airsoft chest protectors and hockey helmets to a gunfight.

I wonder how tough an Antifa would be against even just rubber bullets?

It is illegal to carry a firearm to any kind of protest or demonstration here in Alabama.

Can’t speak for the rest of the nation
