Immediately following a tragedy like we saw on Wednesday in Alexandria, the Democrats turn it into a political issue, calling for more restrictions on our 2nd Amendment rights.
Our Governor is no different, McAuliffe immediately called for closing the”gunshow loopholes.” And went on to say,
“We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”
Yes, he said that and even repeated the figure. McAuliffe didn’t correct himself until a reporter called it to his attention. Watch the press conference:

Typical liberal… just like Tim Kaine. It’s all about them.
Samuel Clements said in a speech in Sydney Australia “There are lies ,damn lies and statistics”. (Mark Twain that is)
Gov. Mc Awful at his best ….. or worst .
Dumb? At least McAuliffe and his wife have not done anything dumb enough to rack up a claimed $31 million in legal bills. And, McAuliffe’s own people did not have him being investiged by a special prosecutor appointed by his own people in like 4 months after taking office.
But, McAuliffe did jump into bed with the power company.
I am confused – are you arguing that 93 people a day is not a lot of people killed? Or are you arguing that this shooter should be congratulatd for exercising his right to own a gun?
It makes for better fodder to focus on the faux pas rather than the substance of the issue.
I would bet without much effort on could find instances of Ms Jeanine erring w regards to word choice but again, that really bout or at least shouldn’t be the issue w regards to this incident.
At least imho but I don’t go around looking for petty partisan bs under every rock and around every corner so what do I know?
Let’s have fun with the Governor today. His phone will be busy.
1)We must make calls to his Commissioner of the Dept. Of Commerce.
2) We will ask how many of your violations issued to licensed AND unlicensed under the Employee Misclassification Task Force have NO Va . Employment Commission Accounts?
3)Let’s see how smart they are.
As a Licensed Builder DPOR has to answer my questions about licensing.
Our reps must be held accountable by us.
Let’s now ask Senator Frank Wagner, the Chairman of the Committee on Commerce and Labor (pragmatist).
While speaking with him inform him that he will see Delegate Minchews Bill HB253 requiring Contractors licenses applications to PURCHASE Workers Compensation Insurance prior to but yet NO VEC Account requirement?
Let’s go back to the use of the word dumb.
I take that dumbest remark.
That same word was used against Stewart who only list by 4,000.
This dumb Governor implemented EO24.
Gillespie wants to cut DPOR Regulations to create jobs.
He won’t say which regulations.
He won’t list the jobs it will create.
McAuliffe is using this as an opportunity.
Would Ed use EO24 as an opportunity? No , now that is plain dumb or just ignorant?
