In VA
On the gun issue
, it didn’t pay off this time as the gun ban was defeated.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

A good reminder that the gun rights we have today grew from the grassroots. They did not come down from the top. Heller and McDonald are nice to have, but they were behind 48 states in coming.

The gun ban was one of many new gun control laws. It isn’t winning, to stop only one out of several further infringements.

True. If you fell off of your roof and broke your hand or your leg instead of your neck, you’d be inclined to be just a tiny bit happy about it.
I’m all for a bit of Winston Churchill post Dunkirk style keeping things in perspective, but the gun owners in VA are still better off than they might have been. The bright point is how active everyone in Virginia was in response. Hopefully the new found political action, second amendment sanctuaries, and the interstate compact I heard about will take root, all over the place.
We’re going to need to play offense. At some point in the future, albiet maybe many years away, there will be a Dem in the White House with a majority in both houses of Congress. At that point I would fully expect an Obamacare style party line vote for the most draconian gun control those peckerwoods can think up.

Banning guns in Virginia would have been a rallying cry heard throughout flyover country, just days before Super Tuesday. I wonder if Bloomberg was OK letting that one slide, at least for now.
Great work by VCDL.

Does Bloomberg have private armed security? And if so, do they have to abide by the same gun laws as the rest of us? If not, what about “the equal protection of the laws” of the 14th Amendment? Democrats now say they support “the rule of law” and “no one is above the law”. That would mean Bloomberg is abiding by the same gun laws that apply to us so that he is LEADING BY EXAMPLE. That would be good questions for the media to ask wouldn’t it?
