					<description><![CDATA[A determined and experienced shooter can change magazines in a moment. The idea of making life safer by regulating the number of bullets in a clip is absurd. Regulate who can own firearms and then you can have a safer community. My gun owning friends can carry machine guns for all I care. They know how to use them and they won’t kill anyone.]]></description>

For some reason, lazy conservatives ALWAYS wait for the sh.t to hit the fan before they decide to get their self-absorbed, borderline retarded asses in gear.  And here we are.

Conservative voting turnout for my county was very high and I thought Sears would have a chance.  I was extremely shocked to look at the county turnout stats for the state.  Anyway, looks like we might have an &quot;interesting&quot; summer...]]></description>

Kamala won VA handily, even with that additional 30% of Republican voters voting.

Northern Virginia voters are heavily dem gov workers and were impacted by the shutdown.

Winsome Sears wasn&#039;t going to win. Heck the NAACP endorsed her opponent.

Believe what you want though. I did vote, though....]]></description>

Virginia will be a Muslim sharia law and commie fusion blend soon anyway if the democrats there don&#039;t get stopped. Democrat Saddam Azlan Salim introduced a bill to criminalize &#039;Islamophobia&#039; in Virginia.

I was stationed at Ft Eustis in Newport News VA. Twice.  I was there when the black governor got elected. 

I was there when a pro gun homeschool christian lost the election for governor. If you read Virginia history you will learn how the founders said the citizens must participate. 

If tyranny is to be kept away. 
It&#039;s very simple.   

The lazy or the foolish don&#039;t vote. I was a regular listener of libertarian talk radio.  WNIS/WTKR. 

The local radio hosts were libertarians.  The had Neal Bortz, a libertarian. They were proud of not voting. 

And they had Rush Limbaugh a conservative.

Civil rights are going away, because the folks really never believed. That the state government would come for their guns. 

If you&#039;re not motivated enough to go vote when the attorney general candidate,  supports murdering children. Or  having them murdered. 

And  that doesn&#039;t get you to the polls!!!

Then I can&#039;t help you. 

Apparently, you&#039;re not even interested in voting to defend the lives of your own children.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Any claim about ammunition magazine bans and crime reduction is a class Red Herring.  Why?  Simply because my inalienable right to effective self-defense does not depend on what violent criminals do with ammunition magazines.

If violent criminals used feminine hygiene products to start 100,000 fires (e.g. arson) every year and kill 300,000 people every year, would that be righteous justification for government to ban feminine hygiene products?  The obvious answer is NO.  It is no different with firearms and firearm components.  No matter how many people violent criminals attack every year, those attacks are NOT righteous justification to ban firearms and firearm componenets.]]></description>

Virginia is Deep Blue.  It has been for a while.  And I voted.  It didn&#039;t matter.  It wasn&#039;t going to matter.

So yeah, thanks for your lack of support.  Because, ya know, it&#039;s easier to pick us apart than deal with the group as a whole.]]></description>
