Does this mean she can now get a close by parking space with her name on it?
Now she can vote with the Democrats!
The Republican leadership likely had huge smiles hearing Chase was leaving them. She represents a conservative district, and they should be able to find a legislator that will represent their interests without the continuing embarrassing antics of Chase. However sometimes when constituents like their representative, attacks from the outside merely solidify their support regardless of the flaws. This happens on both sides.
I am also happy she is leaving the Republican party, it is full of RINOs that do not believe in our rights, the same as the Democratic Party. Which of your Democratic politicians is without flaws, Governor and AG "Black-face"? Lt. Governor, rape them? These are who represent the Democratic Party in Virginia. Well, they do show the true face of Democrats today.
There were no "antics", just skewed reporting. She believes in our natural and inalienable rights, and will fight hard for them. Do you?
My support was not solidified by the attack from outside money that soiled the race. You appear bitter that Bloomberg was unable to get Amanda Pohl elected. I suspect she was chosen because she was a woman , not because she was a good fit for the job. Look at her resume, and be honest.
Skewed reporting, my foot. She cursed and abused a Capitol Police officer. Those are the facts. And your attempt to deflect says as much about you as Chase's actions do about her.
You have firsthand knowledge of what happened? Or maybe a certified account sworn in a court proceeding? What you have is hearsay, not admissible in court. Believe what you may, but what your beliefs are, are not fact.
Typical conservatives ready to crucify any Dem based on rumor and hearsay... but NWS a conviction held up by the Supreme Court to credit any republican misdeeds.
The event was well documented in the news. No one but Chase has disputed the account. Her own caucus even dropped support of her.
Drake, the one crucifying is a Democrat of a former Republican. There's no deflection, since there are no facts to debate. So anything printed in a newspaper or online is fact? I can't believe even you are that stupid.
RJ presented the facts. “ She cursed and abused a Capitol Police officer. Those are the facts.” you denied them based on your “beliefs” without a single fact to support you. You must also be totally down with the Rump impeachment where there are also plenty of facts that n favor of impeachment.
And most times when constituents like their representatives, attacks from the outside shed light on the true unsuitablity of the rep. As happened with Chase. She won by a much slimmer margin this time. Her trend is towards being ousted. Republicans are well ahead of that craziness.
Drake, proving that Pohl was viewed as unsuitable. Next time, don't rely on Bloomberg's money to elect your bad choices, chose candidates that are worthy of voting for.
Proving only that it's a district that will vote Republican no matter how disgraceful the candidate is. Sort of like the district that elected Joe Morrissey, but for the Democratic Party.
Or those that voted for Hillary Clinton and still can't get over it.
Hearsay evidence is proof of nothing, except for those that believe, are easily duped, and vote Democrat. I vote for those candidates that believe in our natural and inalienable rights. I also do not believe in voting for candidates bought and paid for by Bloomberg.
The country would have been SO much better today if the majority of Americans had had their way and got the president that most of America wanted.
Nope.... nothing like Chase’s deplorable constituents at all.
Our President is elected based on an Electoral College. We got the president most of the states voted for. We Virginians got Governor "Black-face", Lt. Governor "Rape 'em ", and AG "Black-face". Sadly, they show the true heart and sole of the Democratic Party, not only of from the Jim Crow Era, but of today. That is the bad part of our state election process that ignorant voters from Northern Virginia, and a couple of other cities can decide who controls the remaining 90% of the state.
Learn why the Founding Fathers decided to use an Electoral College and not the "popular" vote.
We got the president MOST Americans didn’t want. And With the Mueller investigation, the impeachment investigation, the rape investigations, the emoluments investigation, the “charity” investigation, etc., etc. MOST AAMWEICANS were proven right as the framers intended. This administration has been one dumpster fire after another.
Meanwhile, you somehow attempt to defame our great Virginian democratic administration... either for decades old harmless lapses in judgement that hurt no one in the real world but which they have nonetheless apologized for for any “perceived offense.... or for rape “charges” for which no one has filed any actual charges.
It looks like your “moral” high ground is on extremely thin ice.
Sad …… even in the GOP, there are those who act like sore losing liberals. Not a pretty sight either. Hallelujah, and period.
So, Peters, if a Democratic state senator cursed a Capitol Police officer, would you defend him or her?
Nope... they act pretty much like sore losing conservatives. Not speaking truth to power. Just fleeing the situation. Witness Chase’s “white flight” from the republicans. Annnnnd touchè!
Drake, "white flight" from the Republicans? So you are stating that you believe that Republicans are not racists, unlike "Black-face" Northam and Herring? You always paint yourself into corners with your stupidity.
Yep... I’m’m just declaring the Republican Party is racist just like racist Rump who IN MODERN TIMES regularly uses the N-word. As documented in Omarosa’s book. You know, Omarosa? One of the “very good people” Rump hand picked to drain the swamp?
Northam Ana agreeing have met with the affected communities and made reparations for any perceived hurts and have been forgiven by those offended. Just as Christ teaches. Rump just doubles down of denial.
Please show documented facts to show how Trump is racist, not someone's hearsay, which is not evidence. However, Northam and Herring's racism that has photographic evidence and a first-person statement from Herring stating he did.
Uh.... a book is documentation. An eyewitness is a fact.
Omarosa.... documented evidence. ipso facto.
You need an actual recording in the suspects own words before you believe it happened? A very high bar indeed. So you must really acknowledge Rump’s abuse of women
“ I moved on her, and I failed. I'll admit it.
I did try and fugk her. She was married.
And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, "I'll show you where they have some nice furniture." I took her out furniture—I moved on her like a beotch. But I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony titz and everything. She's totally changed her look.[3]
Later, referring to Arianne Zucker (whom they were waiting to meet), Trump says:
I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful—I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the puzzie. You can do anything.”
It's time to focus on (and put) principles before personalities at every level of government,national state and local,all political parties ! The people are the ones losing out !
Good Senator Amanda Chade because you advocate death my Homemade Trailer's, Farm Tags Abuse.... Never inspected dangerous Antique Tag Vehicles and your buddies who we’re not elected in Henrico now knows the power of a person on a mission. www.dangeroustrailers.org is pointing the finger at you
Goodbye.
Too little too l8. The crazy taint already cost republicans the GA. How great for VA!
Pistol packin’ crazy Chase must have a problem with Norment allowing African American women to serve as Capitol Square cops. But now she’s just one crazy voice in the minority. VA’s normal voters know they are better served by democratic government.
Sounds as if she’s a little volatile .
Maybe Chase and Morrissey can form their own caucus......not sure what they would call it!
Amanda Chase is an unapologetic Conservative, and that is what we need now, despite the Democrats pushing lots of money into Amanda Pohl's campaign, and even having Alec Baldwin show up to campaign for her, Chase won hands down in her district. Amanda Chase has DEMONSTRATED that a true conservative that stands on principle can win against a well funded, mostly with out of state money, organized Democrat, because she IS a Conservative. On the other hand, Sen. Tommy Norment, has demonstrated himself mostly a RINO, in a safe district and I agree with Chase that he has been and is a poor leader for the Republicans going forward. When the Democrats take over both the Senate and the House in January, and start their campaign to Make Virginia Lousy Again, we are going to need lots of Republicans to fight their job killing, super high tax and flood the commonwealth with Illegal aliens plans, as well as there coming attacks on law abiding Virginian's Civil Rights, gun rights, and individual liberties, and Amanda Chase WILL be there to defend what is right, and hopefully Tommy Norment will be there too, but his history of caving to Democrats will be very problematic, if he doesn't stand firm on Republican and Conservative values.
Chase is an unapologetic tightest fascist who wants to continue the job killing inflation that Rump has brought to America along with the incredible recession bringing debt and harm to poor refugee immigrants like tearing children away from their mothers. And she’s a gun nut. There’s a reason her ilk was so readily trounced by the normal people in VA.
She can have her little pity party.... no one will really notice as new gun control laws go flying through the GA and democrats continue providing great jobs by attracting great 21st century employers like Amazon.
Guess she would make a great Democrat then.
Nope... we don’t want her. She’s the Republican darling.
Drake, let me educate you on a few facts, you don't Know what a fascist is Robert Mugabe and Idi Amin, as well as Benito Mussolini......Those are fascists, Amanda Chase is a true American. Second, inflation is at almost all time lows, it is currently advertised at 1.8%, certainly very low by ANY standard, you are 100% uninformed on the issue, so here are the FACTS, you fraud:
https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/
As far as the children of Illegal Aliens, it was the Barack Hussein Obama administration that started putting children in "cages", this is a well known FACT, but then you don't care about facts Drake, so I and others have to correct you on your garbage and lies all the time.
https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article213525764.html
https://www.businessinsider.com/us-history-of-putting-families-in-cages-didnt-start-with-trump-2018-6
Drake, I could go on, but your garbage is just stinking so bad, and your lies are so brazen, that they are easy to demonstrate as just trash from an uninformed ignorant Leftist, that everyone here, even those on the Left just have to laugh at.
Awww.... poor Fake News Fred doesn’t believe a little fascist can be a fascist. Oh n his poor confused mind you can’t be a fascist unless you lead a country. Precious, but wrong.
And 1.8% inflation is more than DOUBLE President Obama’s .84% inflation rate. Enough to totally consume any tax break the poor and middle class got. Only the wealthiest Americans and big business made out in the at redistribution of wealth.
https://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/CurrentInflation.asp?reloaded=true
And it is a well known fact President Obama only temporarily detained children who were UNACCOMPANIED while Rump TORE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of crying children FROM THEIR MOTHERS ARMS.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna959791
And then... there’s the inhumane treatment of the detained babies.
“ Kids Describe In Their Own Words The Dire Conditions Inside A Border Detention Center”
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/claudiakoerner/children-border-detention-conditions-immigrants-hungry
FNF I could go on.... but you already lost the battle and VA is hard Dem now, just as the nation will be after next year. It has been so easy to debunk all your fake news that VA flipped. And Norman rightists are shunning your sort left and right.
Notice that Drake didn't make any claims on the fascist comment, but let's check his other claims....Yes, .84% was a low inflation rate during the Barack Hussein Obama, but what Drake failed to mention was the 17% (U6) unemployment during the Barack Hussein Obama administration, which was the highest unemployment since the Great Depression, and it WASN'T the fault of GW Bush, that was Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat's doing. As far as the Barack Hussein Obama administration and the kids in cages, he can't refute that fact, and President Trump just about solved that problem, where Barack Hussein Obama didn't. And that's about it for Drake, pretty poor showing there Drake.
Drake do you actually know anyone who has worked or working at Amazon?
I know they are taking home a regular paycheck... as opposed to the in dying industries Rump supports, like coal.
“Trump said he'd save coal: Two more producers go bankrupt with 1,800 jobs lost”
Notice the FAKE NEWS FRED COULD NOT REFUTE my calling chase a fascist.
What Fake News Fred could not deny was that inflation was MORE THAN HALF AS LOW under President Obama.
And what he con-VIEN-ient-ly failed to mention was that the 17% unemployment rate under President Obama was the unemployment rate turned over to him by the last republican president .. who caused the huge recession through republican fiscal mismanagement. Obama whittled that down all the way to 4%. And Rump, what, improved it another 1% when it was already headed that way? Hardly anything to write home about.
And Obama treated refugee children humanely while Rump tore thousands and thousands from their mothers arms.. hundred who have yet to be re-united and Rump is only making the problem worse building concentration camps and the like.
And President Obama STILL deported more undocumented immigrants than Rump.
"Why Trump Has Deported Fewer Immigrants Than Obama
Trump, who made immigration a key plank of his 2016 campaign, is struggling to crank up deportations"
Drake, she clearly isn't the Republican darling since they kicked her out of their party. You are so completely void of reality, it is amazing you are able to even use a computer to post your nonsense.
Dave... your lack of comprehension must be so embarrassing for you. She ran on a Republican ticket and the Republican electorate voted for her. Withdrawing support and kicking her out of the party are two different things. And now she’s snubbed her Republican voters by taking herself out of their caucus.
Maybe she has had a miraculous revelation and will now intelligently vote with the Dem caucus. They ARE the ones in power and could give her more power than the Republicans can.
drake, she can't be their "darling" if she was booted out of the party. Are you really this stupid, well based on your posts, you are. She will not vote with the Democrats because she has morals and believes in our natural and inalienable rights, protected both by our federal and state Constitutions.
Oh... if she believes in our natural and unalienable rights protected by both our federal and state constitutions and beyond she will DEFINITELY start voting Dem. That’s how they vote and they have all the power in VA now!
Drake, if the Democrats propose and pass laws based on the federal and Commonwealth's Constitutions, they will be voting like Republicans. Please explain how any of the Democrat's proposed "gun control" laws comport with the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia, wherein Article I, Section 13, states "That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power."
When the Democrats propose and pass laws based on the federal and Commonwealth's Constitutions they will be voting like Americans. You DO realize it is in the purview of the GA to change the VA constitution as well, right?
Uh... I DID address the fascist comment.
And Fake News Fred is delirious if he thinks the Bush recession was caused by then Senator Obama. I’d LOVE to see the fantasy fake news site that cooked that one up.! 😂
What you will need is Democrats. The Republicans will not be able to stop anything in the next 2 years if the Democrats stay together.
jim, you are correct, the Republicans will not be able to actually do anything, but they will be able talk a lot and challenge the Democrats at every attempt to take individual and Civil Rights from Virginians, it has worked quite well for Democrats, however, they have the Leftist media on their side to parrot the poop they put out, something Republicans won't have.
Oooops! Too late. The republicans have been talking for 20 years. Whatever they had to say about the Dems, they've said. Voters finally decided to stop buying their BS.
SO funny to hear Fake News Fred whine about the media being against the right when he's got all the BreitFart and Faux News he can want.
Apparently most Americans don't trust those news sources and give far greater credibility to the MSM. Sounds like Fake News Fred is parroting the poop of the most un-trusted news sources in the country.
The fact is that she won handily, but as a Republican in that District she should have won by far more votes than she did. That district went Republican by 97%. She was 10 % points lower in 2019 than in 2018 She had the buffer to hold, but Glen Sturtevant didn't, and whether she wants to admit it or not, her antics probably hurt him in Chesterfield which he won, but should have won by a larger margin. Republicans need to realize that if they keep kicking out the moderates, then they will have a lot of interesting debates with Democrats and absolutely no real power to do anything. The dems will redistrict after the census, and end up turning the state dark blue for at least a generation. They are already planning to implement gun control legislation and eliminate Right To Work while approving Abortion on Demand through the third trimester, and raising taxes....BUT at least you get to make yourself feel better by calling Tommy Norment a RINO, right?
They should eliminate Right to Work and implement gun control legislation while approving abortion rights expansion (you do realize that it's not infanticide right?), that's what they were voted in to do. Sorry if you don't get to have the GOP run loose gerrymandering districts, loosening gun regulations and keep all the power in the hands of employers to fire at will over nonsense. But at least you can come on here and still whine about how everyone who doesn't answer to their corporate overlord donors is a socialist.
What? Did I say anything about anyone being a socialist? If so, please show me directly. And yes, driving a spike through the skull of a crowning baby that would otherwise live is murder....
Employers can be sued for firing people if thery are discriminating, etc. Employees should be free to join unions if they want to do so. Employees should not be forced to join unions, and pay union dues, especially at this point in time when unions, by and large, have been shown to routinely abandon members on strike, like the Teamsters did when they went on strike against Overnite Trucking... Why should every employee be forced to join unions and have union dues automatically withheld from their paychecks? So that union officials can attend $5000 - $10,000 per plate dinners for politicians?
Jeff, you claim: "you do realize that it's not infanticide right?"......What Governor Ralph Blackface proposed with his comments about after the woman has the baby, we tal it over and then decide whether to terminate the already born child, IS 100% infanticide, that is a FACT that you nor anyone else can deny without lying. As far as the Right to Work, eliminate that and Virginia becomes a business hostile state (Commonwealth), business goes elsewhere, and leaves the state, FACT. As far as taking Virginian's Civil rights on guns, if the Democrats go too far, and I bet they will, that will be a primary driver to Make Virginia RED Again, and it will face endless court battles, and end up losing like it has in many other states. So Jeff, the jury is out, until January, but with the Democrat Party in the hands of the Socialist far Left wing of the party, going too far is almost guaranteed.
Garbage, Fake News Fred. Involving the parents in a hospice discussion about a baby that is dying is NOT infanticide. (check your webster's)
Mostly your opinion Midlo, so let me add a few facts, Amanda Chase won by 9% over Amanda Pohl, THAT is a landslide Midlo, no matter how you measure it. Your comment on redistricting will benefit the Democrats, but in taking your comment into account about Abortion, Right to Work and the curtailment of Virginian's Civil rights on guns, there will be a backlash against the Left if they go too far, and that easily could swing Virginia Red again, my opinion, but the fact is, and we are already seeing it, is that Virginia citizens WILL defend their Civil Rights on guns, and the 2nd amendment sanctuary movement demonstrates that fact. As far as Right to Work, the Republicans made Virginia one of the very best places for business in America, an a lot of that is because of our Right to Work laws, take those away and business has no reason to relocate here, and they have a big incentive to leave, another FACT Midlo. Now, if Democrats don't go hard Left, and Make Virginia Lousy again, then we may be able to get along, but in the current environment, the far Left Socialist arm of the Democrat party is running the show, and that guarantees that the Democrats WILL be Making Virginia Lousy Again.
Fred, you're the biggest joke on here. Everyone knows your thinking and all the diatribe you spout is just nonsense anyway!!
Poor paranoid Fred. Weeping over a self-absorbed witch who curses cops.
RJ, have you actually met her and talked to her? Unlike most here that trash her, she is realistic and intelligent. She is strongly Conservative, which means she believes in our rights - all of them, including equality. If she were a Democrat and faced the repulsive commentary that Leftists here spew at her, you and your ilk would be calling those people misogynists.
Regardless of by how many votes, she won. She won against an opponent that was bought and peaks for by outside money. Who should we have representing us, one that believes in our rights and that won the vote of the people or one that is bought and paid for by people from outside our county and state?
If she was truly the horrible person you proclaim her to be, she would have lost, just as Hillary did. Get over it and face the real world.
First, Chase won because it's a strongly GOP district. She would not have lost, but her margin of victory decreased.
And, Dave, would you have been OK with a Democratic state senator cursing and degrading a Capitol Police officer?
Dave, you make a great point, Amanda Chase is an unapologetic Conservative, and she cleaned up against Amanda Pohl, winning by 9%, despite the out of state money and the Alec Baldwin visit. RJ is just talk and ignorance, he makes claims all the time that have absolutely no basis in fact, so just disregard his garbage, he is ignorant and uninformed on most everything.
RJ, are you still whining about the Capital police officer that was so new, that she didn't really know that Amanda Chase had the right to park in the lot in question...........Pretty small minded RJ, that ship sailed long ago.
A state senator cursing and degrading a police officer is small-minded, Fred? Would you say that if it had been a Democratic state senator? I doubt it. But speaking of ships sailing, so has a Republican majority in the GA for the foreseeable future.
RJ, we have had a Democrat cursing Secret Service agents required to protect her - Hillary Clinton. Your point? You are highly partisan, and not what Democrats claim to be, belief in moral equivalency, and equality, and not bigoted. You are, however, exactly what Democrats are, intolerant, do not believe in moral equivalency, and are bigoted, racist, and misogynist.
Learn from your Democratic, Jim Crow era, Democrats are racist, and still are. Look at who is most negatively impacted by "gun control" - minorities, the poor, and women. The reality is there, if you care to learn and see.
I am not a Republican, do not identify as one, and support those that believe in our rights and defend them. Amanda Chase, unlike her Democratic opponent, believes in our rights, equality, and our environment, etc. Amanda Pohl believes in killing fetuses up to the point of delivery. Governor "Black-face" Northam even stated he believes in killing newborn babies and calling it abortion. I don't know how anyone, even an Democrat can support such policies. Democrats used to claim that up to the second trimester that fetuses were not viable, so killing them was okay. Now they state they want to kill them not only after viability, but after birth.
Neither you nor Fred Demey answered my question, Dave. Would you defend a Democratic state senator who cursed a Capitol Police officer?
RJ, I did answer your question, just because you didn't like the answer doesn't mean it was not answered. Seek help, you partisanship is inhibiting your ability to think rationally.
No, you did not. You used an example about Hillary Clinton. My question was about a Democratic state senator in Virginia.
RJ, now you want to lie about what you wrote? You stated "state Senator", not Virginia state senator. I bet you voted for Hillary, and I bet you voted for Governor "Black-face". Either of those despicable characters hold your values? Black-face even stated killing newborn babies is okay. Hillary's antics and illegal activities are well-known ("What difference does it make?", right?). When the Democrats have candidates with morals and ethics, you can then claim the high ground. In the meantime, Democrats are no better than the RINO Republicans.
RJ, whether or not a Democrat "cursed" a Capital Police officer or not, give me one example of an elected Democrat that has not stated he/she wants to abrogate our rights. then count how many non-RINO Republicans have stated the same.
“ You stated "state Senator", not Virginia state senator.“
Poor Dave doesn’t understand what context means. RJ was talking about VA. Obviously he meant VA state Senator.
But conservatives DO love taking statements out of context.
Chase wasn’t even allowed to park there and had an acceptable alternative. She’s just abusive by nature. The LAST person you want walking around with a gun.
“ According to the report, Chase noted her position and her senate license plate and said she did not want to park in the nearby parking deck where lawmakers are typically assigned to park because she was in fear for her life. Chase carries a firearm openly on her hip, stating earlier this year that she did so to deter activists from accosting her publicly.
After being denied access to the plaza again, the officer stated that Chase complained that the senate clerk “get[s] to park her fat arse up front.” The officer claimed Chase called the clerk “Miss Piggy.” The house and senate clerks are two of the people with assigned spots in that plaza.“
Note the gratuitous insults just casually thrown at the senate clerk who wasn’t even present at the time.
Drake, I took nothing out o f context. If he meant to say something else, than he should have stated it. I only pointed out his hypocrisy.
Drake, as you posted, the "officer claimed". Again, no facts.
Oh... so now republicans deny the eyewitness testimony of a duly trained and sworn in peace officer. How Rumpian of you. Even gun nut Chase did not attempt to discredit that qualified of a witness.
Fred often touts his reliance on facts. These are some of Fred's "facts":
*Obama is a Muslim.
*FDR gave the nation the Great Depression. (Interesting, since the Great Depression began in 1929 and FDR did not become president until 1933 -- but that's Fred for you.
What's rich is that Fred accuses others of being uninformed and ignorant. No one on this forum, with the probable exception of Tracy Peters, is as uninformed and ignorant as Fred. He is just a morally blind, morally deaf, but unfortunately not morally mute in his incessant, insane praise of Trump. He has about as much knowledge about history as a pig does of Easter.
Amanda Chase won by a slimmer margin this time. The trend is towards her being voted out more than cementing her position. Now that she has left the Republican caucus she can freely vote pro dem.
Lawmaking is about compromising to make laws and regulations to protect and serve constituents and businesses. By refusing to compromise for the good of all of her constituents Chase will probably not be placed on any committees. That is not an effective method of representing her district. Actions speak louder than words .
Compromising on principles and our natural and inalienable rights does not protect citizens.
The entire constitution and bill of rights is full of compromises. All agreements between parties are essentially a compromise. It’s how advanced societies get things done.
Our natural and inalienable right are one thing. Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are achieved through law. But if you think having a gun is a “natural and inalienable right” then you are VERY skewed in your logic. How did persons ever execute this right before there were guns?
drake, you obviously have a reading comprehension issue our just enjoy misquoting written statements. The right, as I wrote in a prior post, in our Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia is the right to bear arms, not just firearms. That right, as Jefferson wrote, pre-exists government of man. Read Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, this is where the idea of natural rights is more fully discussed.
Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia
Article I, Section 13. Militia; standing armies; military subordinate to civil power.
That a well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the proper, natural, and safe defense of a free state, therefore, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; that standing armies, in time of peace, should be avoided as dangerous to liberty; and that in all cases the military should be under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.
Yes, our Constitutions can be amended. However, until both of those documents are amended, the Democrats that promise to infringe on our natural and inalienable rights are breaking their oaths of office - something a moral and honest person would not do. Yes, numerous other politicians have also infringed on our rights. The adage, two wrongs does not make a right is applicable here. Just as the Jim Crow Era laws that prevented blacks the right to vote and firearm ownership were also wrong.
"Gun control" discriminates against those the Democrats supposedly believe should not be discriminated against, minorities and women. In states with the most restrictive firearm laws, those two groups are well under-represented, making firearm ownership the purview of old, white men - the same group you seemingly hate the most. So why would you support laws that give the greatest advantage to a group you hate? Wouldn't it be logical for firearm ownership be liberalized so that everyone can exercise their right to keep and bear arms and have the means of defending themselves?
Minorities and women are also more likely than old, white men, to be victims of violent crime. but you believe disarming them is the right choice, even though in your gun control Utopias, they are still experience violent crime at higher levels, and in many of the most strict gun control states, at much higher levels than here in Virginia, a state with some of the most liberal laws.
Given that every other Republican member of the state Senate signed a letter apologizing to the Capitol Police after Chase berated and cursed a Capitol police officer, I doubt seriously than any of her colleagues will be heartbroken to see her go.
What's the matter with those GOP caucus members? DON'T THEY KNOW WHO SHE IS?
Perhaps a duel with Glocks at twenty paces?
Very distasteful “humor”. You and Governor Black-face must be friends.
Make it 5. Something tells me 90% of the open carry crowd aren't that good at precision.
Jeff, and you obviously know nothing about those that believe in our rights. Your ignorant claims, as amusing as you believe you are, isn't reality. You want to trust police that qualify once or twice per year and never touch their firearms in between, knowing that shooting is a perishable skill? Meanwhile, those that carry daily know that they are personally responsible, both civilly and criminally, for any rounds they fire, unlike the police that have qualified immunity. When was the last time you read about a law-abiding citizen lawfully carrying committing a crime with their firearm?
Those that I know that carry for self-defense practice regularly. Being proficient is important if you want to be able to protect yourself and loved ones. The police do not have that same responsibility. SCOTUS has even ruled that the police do not have a requirement to protect you.
Granted, we live in a society where the likelihood of needing to use a firearm in self-defense or defense of others, is remote, but that is just like having fire extinguishers and locks on one's doors and windows. Though we are much more likely to be victims of property crimes than of violent crimes. However, when one needs to defend oneself or loved ones, are we then supposed to just call the police and hope for the best? We are our own first line of defense, not the police. go ask a police officer that same question.
