Gov. Ralph Northam (D) admitted Friday that the gun controls he introduced after the Virginia Beach shooting would not have necessarily prevented that shooting.
The Roanoke Times reports that Northam made this admission during a question and answer session with high school seniors who were gathered at Radford University.
The 762 students in attendance elected a mock government which debated how to prevent incidents like the Virginia Beach shooting, and they decided the problem rested more with mental illness than guns. When Northam came to speak to the group they challenged him on his gun control proposals, asking how any of them would have prevented the shooting.
Northam is pushing a ban on suppressors, and he suggested the gunman used one to silence his attack. Northam did not mention that the gunman had two firearms–only one of which had a suppressor–and the shots he fired were loud enough that police found and cornered him by moving toward the sound of gunfire.

Only a Democrat could get caught wearing kkk uniform, believe in inficide, nickname of coon man and still be a sitting governor with zero pressure to resign.
ReplyDeleteWow a politician final admits it, interesting!!!!! At least I can respect him saying it and admitting to it...
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: If he knows that gun regulations don’t work, is he admitting that there is another, hidden agenda for Marxist democrats to continue their pursuit for more and more regulation? I use the term gun regulation because gun control means using a good two hand grip and placing two rounds center of mass each time.
ReplyDeleteThere is no ONE solution, but he is right to at least recognize that this County has a problem
ReplyDeleteThey call him coon man cause he was the one in black face. Gaurantee it. He earned the nickname. Not hard to figure out.
ReplyDeleteLaws DO NOT prevent crime. Not one law has stopped any crime. The only people who pay attention to them are the honest people.
