According to this morning's WaPo, our illustrious governor has proposed the following new gun restrictions:
1. Re-introduction of the one-gun-per-month bullshit that was first introduced by Gov. Wilder. 2. All transfers at gun shows would have to have a background check. 3. Gun show promoters would be prohibited from advertising that guns could be bought with no background check. 4. Concealed handgun permits would be revoked for those parents who are delinquent on their child support payments. 5. Possession of any firearm would be prohibited for any person convicted of stalking, brandishing a firearm, and several other misdemeanors. 6. Dealers would be required to contact State Police before purchasing any firearm to check if the gun was stolen or used in a crime. I hope that no one here is surprised by this. |

Is there solid enough opposition in state congress to send this legislation home with it's tail between it's legs?

I don't see any of those bills going anywhere. He may be able to brow beat the child support one through, unless the antis try to tack several other parts on. Then that would fail as well.
Overall, the list is rather tame for the upcoming session. We usually see far worse being put forth by the antis. |

"These common-sense proposals will keep guns out of the hands of criminals, will keep our communities safe, and will help to build a new Virginia economy."
Sure. |

They're going nowhere in the GA, though I don't really see the problem with #6. Keeps dealers from becoming a "fence" for stolen guns.

He's blaming VT and Sandy hook. Which didn't involve any of these issues.

In addition to deterring fencing, it would also serve as another way to return stolen guns to their rightful owners, and would keep someone like us from unknowingly buying a stolen gun from a dealer which might have to be forfeited later. It puts a small burden on gun dealers, but doesn't burden lawful gun owners in any way. |

"Vote Sarvis because Cucchinelli will ban teh blow jobzz!!!"
It doesnt have a chance in hell of passing the GA. The only part I can kind of agree with is the child support one. |

Yeah well terry can wish in one hand for passing those and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.

I've never been divorced so it doesn't apply to me, but what does child support have to do with the second amendment? What if I'm late paying personal property tax? Doctor bill? Alimony?

You owe money, so naturally the solution is to revoke permission to drive to a job, or earn money in a licensed profession. Brilliant. Child support enforcement (DCSE) are true psychos. |

All that shit McAuliffe is proposing is just a stupid solution to a nonexistent problem (other than the stalking one). Even the "brandishing", WTF is that? Is it waving around a pistol while drunk at a bar or is it some limpdick cunt who got all jelly-kneed cauz he saw your pistol when you brushed back your jacket to pull out your wallet and some black glove Dirty Harry wannabee charges you with brandishing? |

Serious question especially for the VCDL guys on here. In a fight fire with fire type thing would you consider getting behind upping knowingly possessing a firearm with a defaced serial number to a Felony to mirror Federal law? Currently VA code 18.2-311.1 is only a class 1 misdemeanor.
va code 18.2-311.1 I'm cool with it only being a separate and distinct Felony offense if only in conjunction with gang participation, robbery, abduction, use of a firearm in a commission of a felony, reckless discharge, shooting at a occupied dwelling/ vehicle etc, possession by felon etc... Another organization has a lobby day in January and this might be one of the proposals. If McAwful wants some common sense gun laws, going after already felonious turds up to no good seems to make more sense to me than going after, "loop holes" and other vaporware nonsense which only infringe on citizens rights in good standing. |

At least report it to your local cops for CYA purposes. |

View Quote While noble in intent, I do not see how it works practically. First, I would assume there would be an exemption for FFL buying NIB from another FFL. Otherwise, it is going to be costly and be a waste of time. Second, so as FFL I run gun and it is stolen, then what? Am I empowered to seize it? Arrest seller? No thanks on both counts. So he just walks out of store and unloads gun FTF to someone else. Nothing solved, but some politician can claim 87 million stolen guns found, just like phony NICS denial claims. What folks need to do is shoot down all of these, and continue to repeal what is on the books. |

It puts a small burden on gun dealers, but doesn't burden lawful gun owners in any way. View Quote Rather than burdening anyone, I would advocate portal-style access to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) reports of stolen/lost firearms, along the lines of BillCA's contribution on page 2 of the link (scroll down, here). Taxpayer dollars pay for the the NCIC. Taxpayers should be able to query the records related to property that's been reported as stolen. Stored procedures, triggered views, etc. allow such technology to be implemented with low residual risk. (Yeah. I know that bad-guys can benefit from such access as well. So be it. I'm sick of bad-guy low-common-denominators dictating the availability of services to the overwhelming majority of good-guys. If a scrote asks, and gets, $50 more for a pistol he stole -- after checking the NCIC stolen gun portal to see if the pistol is listed -- so be it. But maybe the scrote's query trigger some other actions as well .... Automated systems offer endless possibilities.) |

I'm not pro-abortion by any means. But the people of the Commonwealth have decided that abortion is not the evil that many on the right see it is.
