Gov. Terry McAuliffe vowed to keep fighting for tighter gun restrictions in Virginia after a gun-control group released a report Wednesday showing that nearly 60 percent of the state’s domestic homicides last year involved a firearm.
Speaking at a midday news conference at the Capitol, McAuliffe said he is committed to “taking the guns out of the hands of dangerous abusers,” and again voiced his commitment to what he called “common-sense” legislation that previously has failed to pass in the Republican-controlled General Assembly.
The report from The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence found that of 109 domestic homicides in Virginia last year, 64 were committed with guns. |

McCauliffe needs to stick his head up his own butt and fight for air.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
