"State of Emergency"

The governor of Virginia has declared a “state of emergency” and banned guns from the capitol building and grounds. He thinks that, because of the upcoming VCDL Lobby Day will draw many “gun enthusiasts” to the capitol, he’s afraid they will bring their guns and shoot the place up. Of course, if anybody had that intention, a ban on guns would have absolutely no effect. If someone is considering the very serious crime of shooting up the capitol, he isn’t going to be concerned about a silly little rule that bans guns from the capitol. He decided on this ban (which he thinks will work) after being told of inflammatory posts on social media sites from out of state. He’s afraid of a repeat of the Charlottesville event, where a woman was killed by a fool with a CAR, not one of the many guns that were there. They don’t say if the ban extends to the cops, but I’d bet it doesn’t. Politicians always want to ban guns for everybody else, but not for their own protectors. (Truth About Guns)
