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."

Can anyone tell me where Heyer was when struck by vehicle? Was she hit when he went forward or was she one of the ones who jumped on the back?

BTW, I believe some ‘on the right’ (whatever group it was) were open carrying at the rally & I don’t believe there was a single “gun incident”. Since the jackass Mayor told the police to stand down and proper provisions were not made, such as keeping traffic out of the protest area with barricades, etc., he ended up with a vehicular incident/death/injury that was totally preventable.

He’s trying to deflect blame .... guns are always a reliable target for the Left to blame. The sorry jackass didn’t have the balls to come out and speak to the press in person either because he knew he’s face a hailstorm of questions on the standdown, etc. - had to issue a “statement”.

“He [Signer] was going to talk to reporters, but at the last minute, he canceled his press conference, telling the media that what he has to say would be better said in a statement”

What Charlottesville teaches is that left wing zealots including, mayors, police chiefs and governors need to be exterminated

Such zealots are American enemies

I am suggesting, Mayor, you highlight the need to limit concealed crazy by requiring every registered democrat who develops an interest in seeking public office be scrutinized for a propensity to bullying, thuggery, thievery, lying, lynching, treason, belonging to secret organizations and murder.

Was the Challenger in question an automatic? Oh I’m sorry, full-auto?

Are liberals competing to see who can say the most outrageous thing?

Car “attack” shows the need to investigate your ass for complicity

A Democrat spewing irrelevant Democrat “talking points”. What a surprise.

“Some of my best friends are gun owners” sure sounds like “Some of my best friends are black people”. It means he doesn’t know any.

Diluted IQ. The New York subway talking about removing tiles that *resemble* the Confederate flag. Sanity has left the planet or these people are truly the most evil we have seen.

They both allow the user to make a decision to use it for good or for evil. The left may use this as an idiotic reason to allow in the future ONLY driverless cars, to “insure no one uses a car in a deadly way like in Charlottesville ever again!”

When I first saw the headline I thought John had posted a satire and hadn’t pinged me. Sadly I was wrong. These people are INCREDIBLY stupid. Incredibly.

>>Yeah that guy had a Dodge Challenger hidden in his pants.<<

That damnable carry concealed car law! Obliviously we need to limit the ability of people to carry cars secretly.

The way he just pulled that Challenger out of his pants in the video is shocking!
