Va. Delegate-Elect Introduces Even More Gun Control Bills: 'It's Time to Get to Work'
townhall.com ^ | 1/6/2020 | Julio Rosas

The upcoming Virginia General Assembly is set to vote on a wide range of gun control bills that Gov. Ralph Northam (D) is pushing now that Democrats hold majorities in the statehouse.

Trying to capitalize on that momentum, Delegate-elect Dan Helmer (D), an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, announced on Monday he is introducing three more gun control bills to "reduce gun violence in Virginia."

HB567 will implement a ban on indoor shooting ranges in private buildings with "large numbers of employees" because of "recent workplace shootings." The bill would ban the ranges if it is in a building that has more than 50 employees working in said building. Indoor ranges would be required to maintain a log of each shooter's name, phone number, address, and the law-enforcement agency where such user is employed and the indoor range verifies each shooter's identity and address by requiring all users to present a government-issued identification card.

Just a reminder that being a Veteran is not necessarily a validation of being a Constitution loving Patriot.

A sad state of affairs.

They are not looking to stop the bad guys. They have no interest in stopping the bad guys. They don’t care about stopping the bad guys. They are looking to disarm the law abiding public. They are only interested in disarming the law abiding public. They only care about disarming the law abiding public. Their only goal is to disarm the law abiding public.

It will also require ranges to employ 51 people.

I believe the law is interpreted to mean that the total employees in the building, (not only range employees), but all building employees.

So if there are 6 range employees and the the rest of the building has 43 employees, the law wouldn't apply. (Hey, I'm no attorney though.)

The Left is stepping up their war--for such it is--on the very continuity of what was won at Yorktown and enshrined in our Federal Constitution. The reason they hate Trump so much is that, like Sharks tasting blood in the water, they imagined their victory was near, when Trump over-turned their day dream.

Which, just coincidentally, would include the indoor range at NRA Hdqrs, in Fairfax, Va.

We're going to have to deal with this. They won't stop, they won't withdraw, they do not think they have to obey the Supreme Court, the Constitution, or any authority other than the Party...

ALL of them.

Registration of firearm and owner. Helpful when confiscation comes around. Same thing happened in Cuba under Batista.

"He’s a West Point and Oxford graduate. Also Armor officer. He and Northam show a disturbing trend: officers who side with Statist oppression."

It's NOT a big puzzle. That f#cker Obama, and his Chicago thugs, cleansed the Officer's Corps, O-5 and above, starting in 2009, of incorrect political thought. They are the ones who are still beating the drum for a PC, sexually diverse, SJW military. Just because there is a Trump, he's only one, and they have a whole staff at the Pentagon trying to f#ck Trump over.

Proof yet again that attaining sheep skins from “prestigious” indoc centers does NOT guarantee a scintilla of knowledge was also attained.

WWAD? - (What Would Antifa Do?).

They’d find out where this dick lives, where he works, where his wife works and camp out on their doorstep. They’d show up when he’s having a drink with his gun control cronies and throw a milk shake in his face.

What do we do? We post carefully reasoned argument why this shouldn’t be happening and pray the Constitutional Crusader comes to save us.

That’s true, but Helmer pre-dates Obama.

His website tells the story:

“Dan is the son of an immigrant and the grandson of refugees. His grandparents came to America as Holocaust survivors”

IOW he’s the descendant of Leftist Jewish immigrants, who all seem to follow the same track: they vote for Stalinist candidates and consider Middle Class Americans to be neo-Nazi’s,

In his mind, the Army exists to keep the Deplorables in line, and no amount of state regulation of them will ever be enough.

Guys like that go into government jobs because they ARE Communists.

He has a cute little website:

https://www.danhelmer.com/

Note that Danny and the Fambly are shown drinking coffee with their buds, which is a Liberal icon. Kinda like Pajama Boi with his cup.

He must have been a real swell in the Army. Bet his troops rolled their eyes every time he came swishing in.

Governor has announced that to reduce gun violence further the 13th amendment shall not apply to those convicted of a firearms violation.

“Indoor ranges would be required to maintain a log of each shooter’s name, phone number, address, and the law-enforcement agency where such user is employed and the indoor range verifies each shooter’s identity and address by requiring all users to present a government-issued identification card.”

Can we attach this language to a Voter ID law? After all, 2nd amendment rights are at least equal with voting rights, Constitutionally.

I continue to propose that we meet the Dems half way on gun control. We can cut the current guns and gun violence at least by half by outlawing Democrats owning guns.
