Nothing New Here

Terry McAuliffe, former Democrat Party Chair, and current Virginia Governor, is virulently anti-gun. But he has no new ideas, at all. He just announced several new anti-gun measures, including expanded background checks, limits on how many guns a person can buy in a month. That one was passed by a previous governor, but repealed by a subsequent Republican governor. Now he’s reviving it. He says the gun buying limit will “prevent criminals from ‘stockpiling’ guns.”  It won’t, since all they have to do is buy them illegally, since they don’t obey laws. Nothing about making it a more serious crime if a gun is used, or any other measure punishing the USE of guns in crime. Democrats always come up with these tired, old ways they HOPE to “curb gun violence,” while gun violence predictably (to people of intelligence, at least) continues to rise. They know their ideas don’t work, from experience. But they keep making laws that never work, saying they’re “doing something” about gun violence. They aren’t, but you can’t convince them of that. Logic is foreign to them, as is intelligence. (Washington Post)
