Virginia Bows To Anti-Gun Lobby

DECISION IMPACTS PALMETTO STATE PERMIT HOLDERS …

Effective February 1, 2016, the Commonwealth of Virginia will no longer recognize concealed carry permits from twenty-five states that its top prosecutor says “do not meet Virginia’s safety standards.”

The decision – announced by the state’s liberal attorney general, Mark Herring – comes in the wake of “an audit and update of the thirty states whose concealed handgun permits have been considered valid within the Commonwealth.”

“Their laws are not sufficient to prevent someone who is disqualified under Virginia law from receiving a concealed handgun permit,” Herring’s office noted.  “These states therefore do not meet Virginia’s standards for issuance of a concealed handgun permit or for recognition of such permits.”

Because South Carolina’s laws demand dual recognition, Virginia concealed carry permits will now no longer be recognized in the Palmetto State, which is itself staring down a major anti-gun push.

As we’ve stated repeatedly, this website staunchly supports the Second Amendment, and have called for civil disobedience of any gun law (federal, state or local) infringing upon it.

Why?  Because the evidence is conclusive: More guns = less crime.

And even if the evidence wasn’t conclusive, the right to bear arms is constitutionally guaranteed – meaning the government has to change the constitution if it wants to uproot the right.

There seems to be no logic involved with the Left’s reasoning on guns and gun laws.
Just as Obama saw the San Bernardina massacre as not a terrorist’s problem, but a gun problem is indicative of their stated illogical reasoning ability. Don’t let this ruse fool you, they know exactly what they are doing. They are out to take our guns away.

The Left will slowly peck away at our gun’s rights as they see this as simple solution to murders in the USA. We can not sit idly by while they slowly turn up the heat to boil us alive.

All violent crime fell during the same period, from 1992 to 1997. The percent of homicides committed with guns actually stayed the same. The decrease in the gun homicide rate was part of an overall declining crime rate that had nothing to do with the Brady Bill. Violent crime started falling in 1991, which was three years before passage of the Brady Bill. The Brady Bill did not apply in 18 states, yet violent crime in those states fell just as quickly.

Contrary to perceptions, people there can still legally own a firearm.

At the same deaths went down in Australia while the government confiscated guns, the death rate in The United States went down while gun sales were increasing.
I posted the graphs last night on the other conversation.
You are basing this on Australian numbers that have very little relevance to our situation in the US.
What logical conclusions can anyone derive from the crime rate going down in both countries while one was banning guns and the other country gun sales were increasing.
You have to get off this Australian model as your guide. Look at what happened in the US, where we just happen to live.

“According to data retrieved from the Centers for Disease Control, there were 7 firearm-related homicides for every 100,000 Americans in 1993 (see light blue line in chart). By 2013 (most recent year available), the gun homicide rate had fallen by nearly 50% to only 3.6 homicides per 100,000 population.”

Thank you! Unfortunately, the video the article referenced was not available or otherwise I could not view it on my phone. Not your fault. I was curious if this might be a version of the NRA in Australia they were speaking of as I am only aware of the one here in the US.

I am unaware of the NRA here ever having supported gun registration. Not saying it didn’t happen, just that I am unaware. I grew up in a family where my father and one grandfather were constant NRA members. The only damnfoolery of the sort that I recall was the NRA’s support of “Saturday Night Special” laws back in the 1960’s. Such laws were designed to outlaw a lot of cheap, pot metal, .22’s, .32’s, and the like which were on the market. Such laws, they later came to realize, stood to deny poor people, who couldn’t afford more expensive guns, the means to protect themselves. Such laws, such as the one in SC which required a sample of any model handgun be placed in a furnace at SLED to see if it melted at certain temperatures, were also short-sighted. They didn’t take into account, improvements in metallurgy or polymer technology. Changes had to be made in the law so SLED could purchase plastic Glocks for its agents.

Limbaughsaphatkhunt December 22, 2015 at 6:55 pm

In short, the NRA used to be about responsible gun ownership, marksmanship, hunting, recreation and some forms of gun control.

Then, from the mid 70’s it got conflated with the Libertarian movement and anti-gov’t panic and the focus shifted towards aggressive activism, political lobbying, and being against any gun control whatsoever.

CorruptionInColumbia December 23, 2015 at 1:32 pm

They woke up. They realized that compromising on your rights was a losing proposition because the anti’s will NEVER be satisfied. Those who bleat about “sensible” gun control will N-E-V-E-R be satisfied. The very nature of life is that whatever safety device you put in place to prevent some form of tragedy or other from occurring, a tragedy will eventually find a way to happen. No matter what safeguards you have in place to prevent criminal acquisition of firearms, to include an out-and-out ban on all weapons and ammunition, criminals WILL acquire them. Then you and your minions will be ever cheering for even moar restrictions, even if on water guns or make-believe finger guns.

Compromising on the “Saturday Night Special” issue was a mistake. The NRA learned its lesson. Sadly, they seem to have been infiltrated by the Brady/Bloomberg camp in some ways. They do not vet the supposed “pro-gun” candidates from year to year. The Jakes, Mike Pitts, and Katrinas, of the world have figured out if they do something good for the 2nd Amendment early on, they can do anything after the NRA endorsements and money start coming in and they will still be just fine with the NRA. For that reason, I dropped my membership several years ago.

Not true. Just worked a case the other day that says otherwise. Actually, I’ve worked quite a few where a gun has been the difference between a victim being harmed and the bad guy losing the argument. If I ever get married, it will be to a woman who refuses to be victimized and isn’t afraid of protecting herself or her children.

You keep bleating that crap about gun control coming but “nobody is going to take anyone’s guns away”. Yet in another breath you wish to ban certain types of weapons. Sorry, I don’t believe you or buy into the bullshit.

You’re right about one thing, woe be unto whoever does happen to come to try and take them. When training newbys, years ago, I would often turn the conversation in the car around to what would they do if a blanket order to confiscate guns were given. I told them they better choose their answer carefully, even if it meant giving up the career and retirement they had worked for and towards. I explained that if they chose wrong, they were no longer a cop, but a terrorist, and they might rightfully expect to be treated accordingly by anyone they violated their oath and tried to push that agenda on.

My personal vision of gun control, not a blanket gun seizure (important distinction) would be the following:

1. Every gun made that gets sold is registered and tracked. We do it for car VIN numbers, we can do it for guns.

2. Certain types of arms made illegal. This includes high caliber and high capacity guns and semi-autos.

3. Incentivize the voluntary buy back of existing arms in the general populace with tax breaks and cash payments funded by the gun industry.

4. A health fund paid for by the gun industry (along the same lines as the tobacco settlement) to treat victims of gun shots.

That’s the first phase…we’ll see how that goes and then evaluate what to do next.

Reply

1) Thanks but no thanks. Registration, more often than not, eventually opens the door to confiscation.

2) What would qualify as “high caliber”? Why make them illegal? How would doing so reduce crime? Check out The Colonel’s chart on the SC proposed gun legislation thread and THEN get back to me. How will banning normal capacity guns and semi-autos for good citizens stop or reduce crime? Again, the law-abiding and/or otherwise good guys that these silly laws affect are NOT the ones causing the problems. Criminals are, and they are minimally if at all affected by more laws that do little or nothing to keep them locked away.

4) Again, seriously? Why punish the industry for a legitimate product with legitimate uses (self defense, hunting, recreational shooting, LE, etc)? How can they really be responsible for what is done with the product as long as it is made reasonably safe (ie: doesn’t discharge if accidentally dropped)? Should automobile manufacturers be penalized for drunks and idiots who misuse their otherwise legitimate products?

Yes, it would.

Actually, possession of firearms (including quite a few WWII bring-backs) were a prime component of the civil rights movement (especially in Mississippi and Alabama).

As to columbine/ Sandy Hook? I’m sure Mcveigh gave a damn about the fact that making, transporting, and using a big frickkin’ BOMB was illegal.
As to the taxation, EVERY example you cite is responsibility for the individual owner, and not necessarily the industry as a whole. Minimum safety features on cars? Fine, minimum safety standards ALREADY exist on firearms. There is NO legal REQUIREMENT for the owner of a pool to build a fence or have insurance. NONE. The only requirement for homeowner’s insurance is in the loan papers for the house. The loan is a PRIVATE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT, knut.

Actually, nut,
1) we DO NOT continue to track cars after they are sold UNLESS a person wishes to drive that car on public roadways. Guns are serialized, and initial purchase is tracked JUST LIKE CARS. Your analogy sucks.
2) Are you being silly? Why? Semi-automatic rifles (the ones that make you piss your panties) are almost never used in crimes (FBI stats). It’s a boogy-man made up by the Stalinists to make gun control more “palatable”. Do you plan to limit high-capacity alcohol containers and limit sales to get rid of drunk driving fatalities? Maybe govern all cars to 65mph to prevent speeding and reduce highway fatalities from reckless driving and racing? What about the woman who mowed down 37 people with a mini-van? Or the 34 in the bus collision? “For the children” and all that… Oh, and exactly WHAT is “high-caliber”???? Making shite up as you go, right?
3) How about that being illegal? Oh, yeah, leftist agenda, it’s ok. Laws….. just kind of a guideline, right?
4) Let’s do that for the fast food industry, the alcohol industry, the automotive industry, and every other industry in the US!!!

What percentage of gun deaths in this country are remotely connected to citizens who have valid carry permit? Close to zero.

Did you hear that rapper King Louis was shot in Chicago? Gosh, hate we didn’t get the anti gun message out to the shooter. I’m sure he(or she, (liberal nod) would have hesitated before bussin’ a cap in that nigga’s hade.

FYI, Politico is NOT an unbiased source…. in fact, they are ridiculously biased in favor of leftist agenda.

Like the NRA or this site are unbiased?

Besides, Politico didn’t author the story, they posted it from another source.

You are right on. That is where I go to get the temperature of and see what the far left is thinking.

If you download the data table and actually review the data you’ll see that Politico makes up their conclusions to meet their agenda. The idea that general “arguments” leads to most murders is ridiculous. They base that assertion on the fact that “other arguments” is listed as the proximate cause for 23% of murders – after categorizing a variety of arguments. Could it be that the “other arguments” were over drugs, turf, hookers etc.?

While we’re on the subject, the data also show that gun crimes continue to drop despite the proliferation of firearms…

So why is SC the most dangerous state in the US if we love our guns?

The Colonel (R) December 23, 2015 at 6:16 pm

By what measure are you seeing that we are the “…most dangerous state…”?

Louisiana has the highest murder rate per capita by far at 10.3 (SC 6.1)
Alaska has the highest rape rate at 79.7 (SC 35.5)
Alaska is number one in violent crime as well at 602 (SC 490)
Nevada is number one in Tibet at 185 (SC ~ even close at 83)

If you consider DC to be a state, it is by almost every measurement the most dangerous place in the US.

Now, does our fair state have work to do? Absolutely, but Wallethub’s little survey is both inaccurate and biased.

Don’t ask me, ask Fits….he posted it.

But it’s all based on lies. Pretty much everything the Va atty general said was untrue. But then again, liberals believe nothing but the agenda matters, and any lie told or law broken is excusable in pursuit of that agenda.

Ladies and gentlemen, the evidence is far from conclusive. In fact, I could point you to a number of references that show fewer guns = fewer deaths.

Ah yes, but even the lowly brick is registered at the point of sale to the contractor who buys them and their manufacture conforms to governmental guidelines.

Wow! When I first read the headline, I thought it read “Virginia Blows Anti-Gun Lobby.” It’s a relief to know Virginia was only genuflecting.

How about this? Want to carry a concealed weapon in VA? Get a VA CWP? Shit SC won’t even recognize a Virginia Bar Admission… and the Virginia Bar is way harder than than the SC color within the lines one.
