Yesterday, a murderous monster, a former news reporter, assassinated two innocent people, both part of WDBJ’s morning news team, and put a third person in the hospital with serious injuries.
Our prayers go out to the victims, Alison Parker (reporter), Adam Ward (cameraman), and Vicki Gardner (person being interviewed – currently in the hospital).
And our illustrious governor, long before the facts started rolling in and while the bodies of the dead were still warm, decided to go on a rant about how we need more gun control here in the Old Dominion. And so did MoveOn.org.
So typical of the gun controllers to dance in the blood of the innocent.
McAuliffe used the shooting as an excuse to say that we “need background checks.”
I think he’s talking about Universal Background Checks, but his statement makes it sound like we don’t do any background checks currently, which is, of course, a patently false statement.
From a key part of the murderer’s manifesto, Bryce Williams (whose real name is Vester Lee Flannigan) implied he bought the gun from a dealer and therefore DID pass a background check. ABC News has now confirmed both items with the BATFE. I’m betting the Governor is wishing that he hadn’t brought up background checks in connection with these murders, as once again those background checks failed, just as they have with virtually all the mass shootings in the last ten years.
McAuliffe also used the shooting to remind all of us that he doesn’t have a clue what the gun laws are in Virginia. McAuliffe, once again, said he vetoed a gun bill that would have allowed Virginians to be able to buy machine guns! Uh, Governor, machine guns are already perfectly legal in Virginia and have been for a very long time. Your veto didn’t change that fact one iota.
The sad fact remains that McAuliffe and his radical anti-gun allies appear to revel in the tragic nature of this kind of this crime for no other reason than that it serves their goal of scaring and misinforming the electorate and stirring up anti-gun activists, regardless of the mountains of evidence that guns, in fact, save lives.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League remains committed to countering those who wish to twist an abhorrent crime to serve their own anti-gun prejudices. We will continue in our efforts to better inform and educate the public, the media, and our elected leaders on these important issues.
But for now, we grieve and pray for the victims, and thank the law enforcement community for seeing to it that the perpetrator of this crime was unable to repeat his crazed rampage.

NEVER give up your guns.
The real monsters are “his vileness,” Barack Obama, and his incestuous lackey, Terry McAuliffe, who start spouting Marxist clap-trap about “sensible restrictions on gun ownership,” every time they hear a car backfire. The reason these little Hitlers DESPISE the Second Amendment has nothing to do with the victims of gun violence. It is because of what they plan to do to the American people once they are defenseless. Have either of them said word-one about ISIS’ slaughter of Christians and Yazidis in the Middle East? Proverbs 26:28 says, “A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it,” and both are pathological liars. I rest my case.
“Gun control is not about guns, it’s about control.” — Winston Churchill
There is a famous anecdote about a mother whose car, with her three children in it, broke down on a bridge. Traffic was building up behind the broken down car when a group of 4 Democrats walked up and pushed the car off the side of the bridge with the mother and children still inside the vehicle. The crowd starting screaming at the Democrats demanding to know what the hell they thought they were doing. One of the Democrats responded “Well, we had to do something!” So to my Democratic friends I say make sure what you propose actually solves the problem that concerns you and don’t engage in visceral reactions and declare something must be done.
None of this is surprising about McAuliffe, as a Virginian I am embarrassed. Thank you for pointing out our Governor’s lies and helping to inform people of the truth.
Well said, Phillip. Thank you for your service to the Constitution.
Now hold on – forget gun control. Let’s not even put ourselves in a defensive mode. This was clearly a racially inspired hate crime. Clearly the shooter had a racial axe to grind and was trying to instigate a race war – IN HIS OWN WORDS! And yet…and yet, you can look through every internet news report and read every newspaper (the Washington Post described this as “the social media murder”) and you will not find two words which were used ad infinitum to describe the horrific Charleston murders – “hate crime”. As I have repeatedly said – we on the Right never go on offense. We never attack, because we have allowed the PC Masters of the Media to play brain paralyzing Jedi Mind Tricks on us. Three innocent white people were gunned down yesterday by a deranged black murderer who did so out of race hatred. Can I be any more clear than that? And we ought to at least criticize the liberal media for stoking the flames of black resentment and anger – starting with the lies they spread dealing with the Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin killings. We should attack the liberal media and its cover up of the race hatred it has helped to foment and forget gun control. That is a mere diversionary tactic by our progressive adversaries.
Thank you Mr. Van Cleave for pointing out the left will use even the saddest, most heartbreaking of events to promote their agenda.

Thanks for posting this, Bull Elephant! EVERY Virginian who cares about our 2nd Amendment rights should check out and join VCDL.
The least people should do is subscribe to their “free” VA-ALERT email updates.

Terry McAwfull is from New York and moved to Virginia strictly to win the governorship for the democrats to resurect the dead people to vote him in. He is a follower of Michael Bloomberg and his anti-gun group. McAwfull is bringing my Virginia down like Soetoro is bringing my United States down.
Phillip, I hope you submit this excellent piece to every newspaper in VA. Thank you for your consideration.
Is there no shame?
Terry McAuliffe and shame? Not a chance.
