This from a VCDL Alert (11/28/2013)
Elections have consequences and so it begins. Anti-gun Lt. Governor-Elect Ralph Northam is wasting no time jumping into gun control by hosting a forum this Monday, December 2, at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, titled "From Virginia Tech to the Navy Yard: New Approaches to Keeping Guns from Dangerous People."
The guise of the forum is about mental health issues and gun control. But one of the key things they are going to talk about is taking away gun rights from someone who has a MISDEMEANOR conviction for a violent crime (like getting into a fistfight) or is a "heavy drinker." Who decides where "heavy" begins and "moderate" ends?
This kind of gun control, or course, throws a wide net that will keep getting wider until no one can LEGALLY own guns. Only a fool thinks the antis will ever stop wanting more and more restrictions. They won't stop until there are no legal guns left, leaving the United States a dangerous place with soaring violent crime. Then they will move on to knives, just like they did in England.
As with all other such events, the antis are in total control of this "forum." The panel consists of only antis with no legitimate representation from any of the gun rights groups. That's because when both sides are heard, the antis walk away the losers every time. So they run their meetings with an iron fist, keeping dissension out as much as possible. Stalin would be proud!
Let's take a look at the forum speakers:
* Ralph Northam, anti-gun state Senator and now Lt. Governor-elect
* Richard Bonnie, a UVA law and medicine professor, who is pushing the misdemeanor disarmament idea I mentioned above
* State Senator Donald McEachin, who votes consistently anti-gun and often carries anti-gun bills in the General Assembly
* Josh Horowitz, who has been running his own gun control group for years now
* Lori Haas, another long time Virginia gun control advocate. She's also on Governor-elect Terry McAuliffe's transition team
* TWO members of the Michael Bloomberg sponsored Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health: Professors Shannon Frattaroli and Beth McGinty
Want to bet New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg didn't have a hand in this event?
Anyway, the forum is open to the public. I plan on being there with GSL stickers.
The forum is being held from 1:30 PM to 5 PM at:
UVA Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy
Garrett Hall, 235 McCormick Road
Charlottesville, VA
