Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger may have inadvertently given opponents of the state's soon-to-be-enacted "assault firearm" ban some legal ammunition to use in their fight to get the new law declared unconstitutional.
Spanberger released a statement explaining her rationale for signing the gun and magazine ban bill into law, and while most of it is the same eye-rolling nonsense we've heard from anti-gunners for decades, there was one line that's pretty intriguing.

Her comments don't support the law she signed. Remember, she worked at the CIA

The author correctly points out that ALL rifles, of every type, together account for 3% of all homicides, and that percentage
has been stable for decades.
These modern sporting rifles, of approximately military styling, are maybe 1/3 or less of "all rifles". So, they get hysterical and fight to ban guns which are historically used in about 1% of homicides.
99% of murderers use other weapons, and 'personal weapons', defined by the FBI as hands, feet, elbows, etc, account for many times as .any homicides as these falsely labeled 'assault weapons', more accurately described as modern sporting rifles.
Dems getting hysterical not because the guns are used often in murders (they aren't), but because they are effective in self defense use....including against a tyrannical government.

It sounds like she's trying to have it both ways.

Rats will ignore any court ruling they don't like, or anything in the constitution that they can't twist away, but they will NEVER, NEVER, make a serious, sustained effort to disarm criminals, gangs or mental cases. They need, and even encourage, murders and crime, in order to smear and disarm legal, responsible, gun owners.

Spanberger is CIA, which means she should be imprisoned for life.

This is not going to go well with the voters of Virginia.

I'm surprised that nobody has attempted to ban all of the martial arts and self-defense schools in the country. Despots in Japan once tried that and created the Ninja class. The attempted banning of hunting rifles may one day turn these Second Amendment violaters into "big game."

The Dems keep moving more and more to the left. One would hope that at some point, the voters of their states would stop voting for them.

Will banning these guns keep them out of criminal hands? OR is this just another infringement on the 2nd Amendment?

Spanberger lights the Acme cigar again, as she takes a premature victory lap. Liberals are so predictable.

Voters don't matter. It's their endless money from ultra-left sugar daddies that keeps them there

This will mean another petition to the SC that she will lose.State Governors are not authorized to interpret or limit 2nd Amendment rights. Many have tried and most have failed.

I'd be impressed if she admitted to being a stringy-hair idiot.
