Discussion for article #244169
If you love guns, upping the likelihood that someone important gets killed by one has to be high on your list of “likes.”
Carrico on top of being a real honest-to-goodness WATB, is also a card-carrying homophobe!
A state GOP lawmaker miffed over new gun control measures is threatening to remove Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's security detail, a threat the Democratic governor's spokesperson dismissed as a “reactionary temper tantrum.”
Sure, take away the governor’s security detail. If afterward he’s injured or worse, you’ll take responsibility for that, right?
I can’t believe I live in this state.
Carrico is also introducing a bill establishing a dress code for the Governor and his staff.
Tsk Tsk. Temper temper Sir. What are you 12? Instead of threats how about you work within the legislative process? Why do you GOP right wingers always have to make threats of shutting down this or that if you don’t get your way? If the Governor gets injured or shot you do realize it will be your responsibility?
So you can carry a concealed weapon into the Virginia legislature right?
Of if I called Carrico’s office and told him I thought he was an Asshole and wanted to come talk to him about in a person, he wouldn’t have a problem if I showed up armed, yes?
I can’t believe this State elected a Dem governor again! Of course, the alternative was cucchinelli, and even his relatives can’t stand him!!!
At another site, more info about this whiny brat:

Another cop with a bad attitude.
OH goodie another GOP child, quick get him into higher office…
This is a perfect answer.
McAullife must have young children.
Odd, with his past career, that he can’t tell the difference between trained officers and civilians with issues.
“I’m not threatening you. I’m not saying I am going to hurt you…but I won’t stop someone else from doing it, either.”
actually, I believe the Virginia state assembly is one of the few places in the Commonwealth where you are NOT allowed to carry. because they are hypocritical cowards.
These people always, always wish violence and/or murder on anyone who dares to even question the need for some small measures to address gun violence. This is a sickness.
And why not remove security from the State Capitol Building and Senate and Assembly office buildings as well. Live by your own words and deeds, Senator!
just as background for anyone who wasn’t aware of this action by the AG, he halted reciprocity for states that have carry requirements that are more lax than Virginia’s. in other words, if your requirements to carry either meet or exceed Virginia’s, the Commonwealth will still recognize that right.
This is to stop people who don’t qualify for a carry permit in Virginia from going across state lines and getting the permit from a less restrictive state.
GOPers have no clue about “responsibility” or “accountability”. None at all. It is always blame someone else, especially if they can blame a minority or women.
Exactly. And naturally the media in Virginia are completely ignoring that. They just want to play up the GOPer angle so they can lead the news with another attack on a Democrat.
