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."

There should be a federal civil rights investigation to explore everything.

Most likely because the are where it occurred was not part of the protest area. BLM and Antifa didn’t have a permit to protest, so why would the roads be closed to cars. The White-nationalists and Neo-Nazis were pushed out of the designated protest areas by the Police.

"Ban all cars that are automatic."

I've said for years that would be one of my first acts as King! (Those with physical handicaps would receive exemptions.) Also, hogging the left lane would be a capital offense.

It is obvious that this left wing rectum had his brain removed and replaced with a dead liberal’s brain while attending UC Berkeley.

Driving a car and hitting people is like using a gun!?

Only in the transplanet dead mind of a liberal.

????? - you would think that if he was capable of thinking, he would decry allowing folks to drive cars in areas where thugs could beat on them and throw mentally ill drivers off their game. And that folks who physically block traffic should expect that the occasional one would get run over....

Is he talking about concealed CARry?

Yes, and the driver GUNned the engine.

I once owned a '69 VW with a semi-auto transmission (automatic clutch, just grab the gearshift and move it - no footwork needed). Mebbe Mr. Mayor would ban that too?

It was a Dodge Challenger. It was also built in Canada.

Liberal Logic: We should outlaw Car Imports from Canada.

I have paddle shifters to automatically shift from gear to gear without having to use a clutch. And they are the evil black, plastic ASSAULT paddle shifters!

Because fluffy white clouds, it shows the need for donks like this to have their mouths stitched shut with barbed wire.

And to summarize his position on the 2nd amendment, he believes in the 2nd amendment except for when he does not believe in the 2nd amendment.

And that is what passes for liberal logic.
