Virginia Gun Owners Forum - VGOF

The Democrats will do anything to take our guns.
.
Hell, Feinstein came out in a press conference and said, if she had gotten enough votes to remove all the guns, she would have been alright with that option.
.
It has been the goal of the Democratic Party to disarm Average Americans for many, many years. With the media in their pockets, they hide it pretty well and call it protecting the public, but for any who have studied their history, their support for slavery and dominance over the masses goes back to their inception!
.
When the leadership in the Democratic Party tell you that no one is trying to take away your guns, THEY'RE LYING!
.
With an armed public they know that something too blatant would end up in a civil war, so as attorneys, they chip away one little bit at a time and work to convince the young that our greatest means of self-defense is in fact an evil that must be eliminated...
.
For those doubting the validity here's the story:
.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the local government with aid from the National Guard, forcibly disarmed law-abiding Americans at gunpoint. leaving many unable to defend themselves during their time of greatest need, as crimes and looting escalated.
.
Americans throughout the country were outraged by this unconstitutional act. In response, Senator David Vitter (Louisiana) introduced a bill to stop future acts of disarming law-abiding citizens during a disaster...
.
MOST members of Congress supported the Bill, openly stating that the government had no right to disarm Americans, especially during their times of greatest need.
.
SIXTEEN Democratic Senators voted NO on this Bill... That's SIXTEEN Senators that believed the Government should have the right to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens, leaving them defenseless, in their times of greatest need!
Those Senators were:
Akaka (D-HI)
Boxer (D-CA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Reed (D-RI)
Sarbanes (D-MD)
Schumer (D-NY)

I'm surprised that Kaine and Warner weren't on that list.

Well that's because this was an old vote, done in 2006 that Bush signed as an amendment in a bill to make it law.

Our 2 senators at the time were George Allen and John Warner

There are many on that list that aren't senators anymore and haven't been for a while

I recall a response from an email to Kaine that he was a gun owner. I thought to myself you are a gun owner who probably owns a .22 single shot bolt action rifle that has been in your closet, or locked somewhere, has not been cleaned, touched or had a live round in it for 30 years...but yes he can claim to be a gun owner too.

He may be a gun owner, but that doesn't mean that he wants anyone else to be.

Thanks for the clarification.
