Elections have consequences, here’s a list of everything Terry McAuliffe, the Governor of Virginia, is trying to do against guns:
1. Renewal of Virginia’s one handgun a month limit
2. Require private sellers at gun shows to perform background checks
3. Revoke concealed carry permits for parents who are behind on child support payments
4. Keep guns away from people convicted of crimes related to domestic violence
5. Waste $100,000 to pay the cops to visit gun shows, as if they didn’t already do that in their free time
6. Prohibit gun shows from advertising the private sellers’ exclusion from performing background check, which contradicts #2 and violates the spirit of the 1st Amendment
Here’s the kicker:
The news release from McAuliffe, which says the governor is a “gun owner and supporter of the Second Amendment,” praises the limit as a way to “prevent dangerous people from stockpiling and trafficking dangerous weapons.”

I’m sure gun traffickers are getting their weapons at Cabela’s, just like drug dealers get them at Drugs R Us.
McAuliffe would also revoke concealed-handgun permits for parents who are delinquent on child support payments. There are about 9,000 such people, and they owe more than $15 million, the governor’s office said.
Millions of Americans have credit card debt, do we revoke their 1st Amendment rights? Do we ban them from donating money to the church or organization of their choice? From visiting casinos and buying lottery tickets? No. Yet Governor Nanny thinks owing child support payments (funny how women don’t need our consent to have abortions but they can force us to pay child support) destroys our 2nd Amendment rights. Here’s a question, isn’t it a crime to owe child support? Why not prosecute that crime instead of banning debtors from having guns?
But then again, it’s expensive to put people in prison, so the bad governor has decided to use the threat of 2nd Amendment denial as a way to get them to pay up.
