How the Old Dominion every elected a piece of crap like this I'll never understand. He was calling for gun control yesterday while the bodies were still warm.

Clinton associate who would have thunk

A couple more left leaning supreme court justices should do the trick.

He's shut his yap, fast.

He was elected, unfortunately, due to NoVA and because the Rs ran a complete dumbass in Cuccinelli who ran the worst campaign in the history of campaigns outside of McCain. VA is an EASY state for the GOP to win (look at the General Assembly), yet they keep screwing it up by concentrating on culture war BS and not on: 1) economy, 2) taxes, 3) jobs, 4) schools, and 5) roads. Concentrate on those, and you win. Don't and you lose. Even still, McAwful barely won and is hamstrung with all his Bloomberg ideology because the General Assembly is having none of his HS.

Just wondering what Gun Control law would have prevented this? It's been reported the suspect bought the firearm he used himself, legally, in July.

Other than out right ban of all guns, what law would have prevented it?

He used a handgun, but it seems a rifle or shotgun would have worked as well, and concealability doesn't seem to really be the issue.

I heard a sound bite from the survivor's husband, he very simply and elegantly stated, the guy was going to attack someone, and it would have been a knife or machete if it wasn't a gun.

This wouldn't have prevented it either.

WELL.. OBVIOUSLY, if murder had been illegal he'd have never done it....

But I just watched him being interviewed on MSNBC and he is dedicating himself to more gun control in his daughter's memory.

Then....he said that he is going to buy a gun because he is afraid that he may be targeted.

Politicians work on the expediency of trying to look like they're doing "something" when people get all in a tizzy over something. Simply blaming inanimate objects is WAY easier than dealing with the broader and deeper issues at work, so that's where they go. It's like the whole demonizing of "assault" rifles even though literally more people are killed bare handed each year than with all rifle types combined.

If a gun wasn't available he would have used a knife, a jar of gas, or his car.

Fact is he was going to "get even" some way, some how, in his sick mind.

The Gov had that relayed to him in his press conference and said we can never prevent violence, but if gun control saves one life it is worth it.

This is just more ammo in the culture war against law abiding gun owners, another step toward the ultimate goal of confiscation.

That language is DIRECTLY from Bloomberg. Know your (true) enemy. McAwful is a tool, and a useless one at that with a solidly R General Assembly. Bloomberg is the threat.

Within the Commonwealth, the other enemy that needs to be identified and addressed are the "culture warrior" RINOs who sabotaged the last election. Bill Bolling was cruising to the nomination and would have won the general election in a landslide (so much so that the Ds weren't really even running a challenger). The Falwell-ite "culture warrior" contingent that is Hell bent on making everything a religious fight changed the Republican nomination procedure from a primary to a caucus at the last minute and packed the caucus with hard-right religious nuts who were lathered up for Cuccinelli. That cost Virginia a Republican governor as much or more than anything else.

What we have in America isn't a gun problem. It's a problem of black folks committing so many violent crimes. This is easily proven by studying the violent crime statistics of white Americans in isolation. The stats are on par with those nations having the lowest violent crime rates, such as Sweden, i.e., infinitesimally low. What the mainstream media needs to start asking is for blacks to stop being so violently criminal, not that the rest of us surrender the basic human right of self defense enshrined in our nation's founding document.

Too many guns?

To the contrary, it seems to me there were "NOT ENOUGH GUNS".

Two different men. Comon guys.

The Father of the deceased made absolutely NO sense and fully wanted too many guns to be recognized as the absolute problem. Even though the purchase was legal and very controlled. Did not care about the perp's mental state. Just get rid of guns. While I understand his mindset right now he should not be talking to the press.

The husband of the survivor on the other hand very articulate and understanding.

You're talking about different people

Every single time something happens with a gun, this is going to be the emotional, liberal knee jerk reaction.

Every time. Without fail.

All we can do is circle the wagons around our rights, and remember that votes count. Votes matter.

If we lose enough votes, we lose our entire republic of freedom.

How many millions of gun owners didn't
shoot anybody today? This week? This year?
Ever? My hand is raised.

^^^ this^^^

And they should be calling for an end to Hate Crimes! Which is what this shooting was.
But I guess black people just get a free pass on Hate Crimes!
You can thank Sharpton & Obama for this one

Take a guess as to which one of those two is not on the Bloomberg payroll.

Local paper quoted him as saying he wanted to prevent the mentally ill from having the ability to legally purchase guns. I have not read or heard anything else from him. However, I'm sure the liberal left will be leaning on him pretty hard to be a spokesperson for the gun control fodder.

Mr Parker went after the NRA pretty hard on the CNN interview. You have to wonder if Bloomberg was on the phone with him as soon as he found out about the shooting.

I would not be surprised if Bloomberg's puppet(McAuliffe) was in touch with him in short order.

On another note, I'm really concerned about the elections this fall. My concern is what those federal judges are going to do with the redistricting plan in the Tidewater area for the state congressional districts. The General Assembly is pretty conservative and pro 2nd Amendment now but who knows what will happen with these new districts.

Libs like this cat have to come out with statements like this to sustain their place on the team. It shows how artificial the system is. My guess is he does actually feel this way. I hate it for the fine folks of Virginia.

Phugg him..........that horse has left the barn.

That's what happens when you vote in a scumbag Klintoon democrap.

I'm glad I'd had sense enough to not move back there. I hope the ex is choking on the tyranny I warned her about 25 years ago.

Not "Too many guns"

Too many loose-lipped, non-thinking, non-receptive, politicos, with an audience.

well,the idiots tried to get the roanoke gunshow canceled this weekend but couldn't get it done. i guess we white people should have went in to the black hoods of town and rioted after a black killed 2 whites.i figured they would do a protest at the gunshow on saturday but they didn't.

our governor is pure idiot.

Not McAwful, but Bloomberg's groups directly. It's their MO to contact the families of victims before the bodies are cold and start trying to work their angle and hire new "spokespersons".

The General Assembly will remain staunchly R and conservative.

Again, VA is an easy state for the Rs to win the Governor's mansion; assuming the Rs don't screw themselves in a crooked last minute rule change on the nomination to a caucus and them run an epically terrible campaign by a complete buffoon of a candidate (Cuccinelli).

Me Too ! Terry.

He is your typical Democrat dweeb. I suspect he has to call the DNC every morning to find out what time he is to take whiz every morning. Debby Wasserman is one tough task master.

Jim

That's a mild understatement............

MM

hard for the GOP to win with the fruitcakes in va. beach,northern va. and richmond mostly voting democrap.

I hope you are correct. I still worry about what those federal judges will do with the redistricting. Many feel they could prove very favorable to the democrats.

If you outlawed gun completely you would be able to buy one on the street corner, might cost a few bucks more, but if you are going like this black POS then who would care about a little extra cost?
