					<description><![CDATA[&quot;There&#039;s no way to rule innocent men....when there aren&#039;t enough criminals one makes them.... But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt.&quot;

BREAKING: The suspect in the Rhode Island shooting has indeed been confirmed as a man who went through gender reassignment surgery-- which his ex-wife cited in their divorce papers along with &#039;narcissistic+personality disorder traits.&#039;

His ex-Father in Law was also arrested a few years ago for threatening to have him murdered by an Asian street gang for not moving out of their house, telling him &#039;no goddamn tranny is going to stay here.

					<description><![CDATA[Virginia is setting things up so no matter what a gun owner does they are in violation of law - even if complying with the law. Its full of traps to turn gun owners into felons and even imprison them no matter what they do, complying with the law or not complying with the law it does not matter, if the laws pass you automatically, literally, become a felon.

For example; In all these anti-gun laws Virginia wants to pass there is one section that says FFLs can buy a gun from another FFL or law enforcement but can&#039;t from individuals not an FFL or law enforcement. However, in another section an individual has the option of &#039;surrendering&#039; a firearm on the banned list by selling it to an FFL. Then in another section its a crime for an individual to try to sell a banned firearm. See the trap? An FFL cant buy it from the person, and the person if they try to comply with the law and surrender to an &#039;FFL&#039; by trying to sell it to an FFL like the law says they can then they become a felon. 

Another example; there is a section that allows cities to have gun &#039;buy backs&#039; for people to surrender firearms. But in another section it makes it a crime (misdemeanor) for an individual to transport or participate to surrender a gun at a gun &#039;buy back&#039; held by a city.

There are literally over 200 hundred traps like this hidden in these anti-gun laws Virginia wants to pass. Basically, if they pass, 100% of all gun owners in the state will literally become felons. If you try to obey the law you are a felon, if you hang onto the banned gun you are a felon. If you try to simply divest your self of any gun banned or not by selling it to an FFL or at a buyback or to another individual, you become a criminal. If you hang onto the gun and its legal to have, you also become a felon because there are even more traps hidden in these laws.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I retired at the end of 2009.  Before then the Fourth Circuit (Maryland, the Virginias, and the  Carolinas) was reliably conservative. But the Dems in Congress, surrounded by the circuit, were watching.  What’s your read on a Fourth Circuit ruling if Virginia attempts an assault weapons ban?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I wouldn&#039;t hold my breath.
SCOTUS has had plenty of opportunities to kill AWBs refused.

This nonsense isn&#039;t going to go away. States will implement them. Some courts will strike them. Others will uphold them. Years, decades will pass and us people will just have to put up with it. SCOTUS won&#039;t touch it until there&#039;s a dem majority on the bench.

Unfortunately we don&#039;t have an army of fat lesbians and mentally ill drug addicts to eagerly die in the street for the cause.]]></description>
