VA Gov Handed Strong
Rebuttal on Anti 2A Agenda

By John Boch. July 9th, 2019

Today, the Virginia Governor Ralph 'Coonman' Northam suffered a humiliating defeat in his effort to politically exploit the Virginia Beach spree killing. He called the legislature to a special session to consider a host of radical gun control measures in an effort to capitalize on a tragedy and make some political hay in an election year.

Of course, the Demanding Moms also turned out to show their support for re-creating past tyrannies with their support for gun control. And the Virginia Citizens Defense League called out gun owners to oppose Northam's political theater.

WVIR covered the story:

Advocates for gun control and for gun rights showed up at the State Capitol Tuesday to represent their cause as the General Assembly meets for a special session to discuss gun control.
After a Virginia Beach city employee shot and killed 12 people on May 31, Northam ordered the special session, calling for passage of a wide range of gun-control measures. The session got underway Tuesday.

Yes, the special session did get underway today. And barely two hours later, the legislature adjourned until November, handing Northam a humiliating political defeat. ..... 

To say that Northam's ten long list of anti-gun measures was extreme might be understating the case. This was planned as somewhat of a 'knee-jerk' reaction following the 6/1/19 mass murder inside the Virginia Beach municipal building - that providing an ideal 'excuse' for trying to implement draconian gun law changes. Nothing that was proposed would have done anything to prevent the massacre.

You just have to love freedom.
