Virginia legislature kills Northam gun bill

The Senate Judiciary Committee of the Virginia legislature rejected a bill introduced by Gov. Ralph Northam that would have made allowing a gun to fall into the hands of a child a felony.

As drafted, Northam's bill would have mandated that anyone who "recklessly leave[s] a loaded, unsecured firearm” in a place where it could be accessed by a child be charged with a felony. Current Virginia law charges people found responsible in such situations with a misdemeanor.

“This bill will keep children safe from loaded, unsecured firearms. Like Gov. Northam’s other commonsense gun safety measures, it is something that everyone — including responsible gun owners — should support,” the governor's spokeswoman said in a statement.

  1. The bill would not have KEPT CHILDREN SAFE

    Instead, it would have prosecuted people who left a loaded firearm available. Big difference.

    Politicians who are working for the Communist Masters (bankers) always make claims that are untrue. They are liars, like their father, Satan
