Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's (D) website was updated
Monday to show his commitment to bring Colorado-like gun control to the
commonwealth.
In the section titled "Investing in Virginia's Urban Centers,"
TerryMcAuliffe.com now contains the heading, "Support Common Sense Gun
Control Measures."
Under that heading, it says McAuliffe "will support mainstream and majority
supported gun control measures like universal background checks, limiting
the size of magazines, and a return to the 1-gun-per-month rule."
The limitation on magazine capacity is a Colorado-like gun control measure
that will put law-abiding Virginians at a disadvantage the moment it is
enacted. This is because criminals will not obey it but will keep their "
high-capacity" magazines so they can outgun their victims.
Universal background checks will mean an end to private gun sales in the
state of Virginia, as they did in Colorado. This happens because Virginians
will have to get the government's permission, via a background check, in
order to sell or buy a firearm.
In addition, the universal background check mechanism will allow a McAuliffe
governorship to control how many guns Virginians can or cannot buy each
month—thus the pledge to "return to the 1-gun-per-month rule."
Once similar gun control measures passed in Colorado, upset citizens
successfully recalled two State Senators behind the legislation within
months. |
