Terry McAuliffe on Gun Violence

Gun Rights in Virgina- Background checksDemocrat Terry McAuliffe is running for Governor of Virginia.  His position on the ‘second amendment’ is the standard, liberal, I support hunting and skeet shooting (which have nothing to do with the 2nd Am) but we need to do something about gun violence answer.  (And he is certain that the increase in law abiding gun owners–who submitted to background checks–is irrelevant to the fact that in conjunction with the surge in legal gun ownership, crime in Virgina has gone down.)  What should we do about gun-violence™ despite these facts, candidate McAuliffe?

“I think that anyone that purchases a gun should have a background check. I’ve gone through it myself. It’s a very simple process. It only takes a couple of minutes to do it.”

So you already have background checks, and more citizens in VA have purchased guns and gone through the same ‘simple process’ required to obtain them legally, the same simple process you went through, and crime is down, and your solution to stopping gun-violence™ committed by people who do not subject themselves to the background checks you already have is to have more of them for people who are already completing them?

Isn’t that a bit like reducing Obesity by starving skinny people?
