Comments by Philip Van Cleave : opinion
Virginia – -(Ammoland.com)- Virginia Lieutenant Governor candidate Justin Fairfax, who is getting funds from Michael Bloomberg, has been pushing gun control since he announced his candidacy.
You know how the antis are always brushing us off saying, “no one wants to take your guns away” ?
Well, Fairfax appears to be calling for the CONFISCATION OF CERTAIN FIREARMS already owned by law-abiding citizens, based on a PodCast interview by anti-rights Delegate Mark Levine!
In the recording Fairfax says, “I think we absolutely have to look at these either converted automatic weapons or essentially automatic weapons and take a look at getting those out of civilian hands and getting those off the street.”
Converting a semi-automatic firearm into a machine gun is already illegal and will get you 10 years at Club Fed.
But “essentially automatic weapons” ? Is he referring to semi-automatic firearms? If so, is he calling for the confiscation of ALL semi-automatics or just some?
I think it is clear that “getting those out of civilian hands and getting those off the street” is without a doubt confiscation from existing gun owners.
Justin Fairfax clearly knows nothing about guns (in the PodCast he says that a “modified” semi-automatic rifle can fire 180 rounds PER SECOND. That is 10,800 rounds per minute! Even a military minigun can only fire 6,000 rounds per minute).
This guy wants to control our gun laws?
Earlier this year, Fairfax called for a “gun insurance” mandate where every law-abiding gun owner would be required to buy government-mandated insurance in order to exercise your 2nd Amendment rights or pay a stiff fine every year. A modern ‘poll tax’?

If they tried this moron shit,…,what about truks,where do they store them all.tyipical dumb ass’s
Kaine is a bottom feeder with no intelligence.If he is coaching this negro they will lose because Kaine is a loser and can’t make it from one bad job to another. (Vice pers. for Hiliary would be a bad job).
Clearly another candidate not letting a good crisis go to waste, he is lacking in firearms terminology.
Another dumb democRAT trying to to do the impossible THINK.
“…cold, dead hands” Mr. Fairfax!
It always amazes me when black politicians support gun-control. The gun control movement has such racist roots. The “black codes” in the Jim Crow South. More recently, the gun bans in public housing and the attempt to ban “Saturday Night Specials” all affected low income minorities. The plantation mentality of the Democrats is so pervasive it kills me that they, the minorities and poor people, can’t see it.
Come and get ’em MF’r! Bring your own body bags. We’re going to need them to büry you in.
Does this so-called “confiscation” include weapons carried by bodyguards for protection of these mealy-mouth politicians?
Hey Justine, make absolutely sure that YOU are the first person and Kaine is second, OR stand side by side with your arms linked in your standard libtard/Democrat Kumbyah way at the door when you decide to confiscate ANY guns… Smile and wait for the flash A$$ HOLE…..
Looks and sounds like another Obamawannabe.
