I will post about this.
Democrat Governor Ralph Northam, the same one who has a placed a picture in his med school yearbook page, of maybe(?as far as I can tell!) himself dressed as a KKK, the same Ralph Northam who calmly explained in a live Radio program how the doctor would kill a baby who survived an abortion born alive, now has a "wish list" of gun-law faves and called a special session of the Va legislature for July 9.
"Northam has proposed at least seven bills that have consistently failed in the Republican-controlled legislature, including universal background checks, bans on “assault weapons” and suppressors — which the Virginia Beach gunman used — and the ability of localities to regulate firearms in government buildings." -- https://www.dailypress.com/news/virginia...story.html
Northam has called these "common sense" ideas.
The gunman, reported to have been of a [mid-eastern religion] and reportedly was facing disciplinary procedures at work, used 2 45-cal handguns, one of which had a suppressor. The building already was a "gun-free" zone. He had reportedly purchased the handguns legally, having thus passed the background checks.
I live in Va. My big comment to all of this is, since NONE of his proposals would have had any bearing on the shooting, therefore none of them are "common sense" ideas. It is completely contrary to the term "common sense" to advocate points that have no bearing on the tragedy being manipulated, and have demonstrated absolutely no usefulness towards the goal he is ostensibly seeking.
O yeah, "assault weapons" are already banned in Va Beach.... and no assault weapon was used in this shooting.
edit to add: I am sure Patrick Henry (see below) - also a native Virginian, would be rolling over in his grave on all of Northam's preposterousnesses.
