TownHall: After two failed attempts at getting some gun control measures passed, Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe went the executive order route. He signed Number 50 last week, which will do nothing to prevent further gun violence. Why? Well, it could be due to the fact that many of the things in Number 50 are already law. The order establishes a “joint task force to prosecute gun crimes; authorize the attorney general to coordinate and bring criminal cases against firearms law offenders; establish a tip line for illegal gun activity; trace guns used in crime; encourage judges and prosecutors to seek gun forfeiture in felony and other cases; and ban the carry of firearms in state government buildings.”
First, the gun forfeiture provision deals with cases of domestic abuse. Americans convicted on such charges are already barred from owning firearms. Second, there’s a tip line to report illegal gun activity? That’s what 9-1-1 is for–and authorities should always prosecute gun crimes. Yet, the worst offense is in the preface of the executive order, where it says, “It has been estimated that nearly 40% of all guns sold in America are sold by private, unlicensed sellers either online or through gun shows. These sellers are not required by federal or state law to perform any background checks before transferring a firearm.” No. Again; this statistic has been debunked endlessly. more
He is just making noise so the ignorant think he is doing something when he is really doing bupkis.
The Punk is an Obama wannabe. Oooh, look at the tough Clinton bagman passing worthless “legislation.” He can’t leave soon enough.
We got McAuliffe courtesy of the GOPe. They’re pulling the same crap in the Presidential campaign. If their guy doesn’t get the nomination, they’ll be sure Hillary wins. They’ll lose their place at the popular table otherwise.
Yep.
The establishment pulled support and screwed us.
Sounds like a Hussein clone
