If things go according to plan in Virginia, we’re going to see how much anti-gun politicians really hate guns once they’re no longer protected by them.
Jumping on the anti-Second Amendment bandwagon, Democratic Attorney General Mark Herring has moved forward with a plan for Virginia to cease recognizing concealed carry permits granted by the 25 different states that issue such permits. But conservatives in the state legislature have a trick up their sleeves.
According to Virginia Senator Bill Carrico, Republicans in the State Senate will be able to strip Governor Terry McAuliffe of the armed security team that protects him via a planned budget amendment that he will introduce in January.
“If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen,” Carrico stated. One can only hope this makes McAuliffe reconsider his Attorney General’s decision.

Excellent idea! Don’t back down!!
Bout time
When you’re killed your family will be just as sad as a politician. Probably more so. I was a law enforcement officer for 25 years. I have been threatened, as has my family. Shouldn’t I be allowed to have security also. Politicians and family aren’t any more important than me and mine, or you and yours. I’m still carrying the heck with the liberal governmental idiots.
Why the vitriol over gun ownership is America. Similar countries with low or virtually no gun ownership also have very similar socio economic indicators as the US. The most alarming differences are the murder rates. Much higher in America. Why is that?
YES do it… they don’t like guns then they should lead by example.
