VA governor tries to blame guns and gun owners for shooting

This past Friday, a man walked into his place of work where he was employed as a public utilities engineer at government building in Virginia Beach and killed 12 people.  His guns were legally purchased and more than two years apart.  In response the VA governor will try to punish everyone in VA who did not do this crime by getting rid of their scary looking modern sporting rifles and large mags.  Also, the governor wants to limit gun purchases to once per month.  Also, the new control grab requires people to report stolen guns within 24 hours and also provides for red flag laws "to keep guns away from people who are a clear danger to themselves and others".

I can see trying to do things differently in the future if the actions taken can be thought of as reasonably effective toward solving problems AND worth the potential downsides.  But in this case, every one of the things that the governor says he wants to do are right out of the liberal handbook for disarming the population and for ensuring the eventual onset of tyranny.  Importantly, NONE of his new proposed laws address ANY of the facts of the case which he claims is prompting this move.  Let's review:

• getting rid of their scary looking modern sporting rifles and large mags.  
• The shootings were ALL done with semi auto pistols.  NO AR-15, AK-47 used.  Obviously this rule is NOT being pushed in order to solve the problems of this shooting.
• the new proposed rules limits mag size to 10
• The shooter had .45 caliber pistols.  They don't say which model, but one of the most popular .45 caliber semi auto handguns is the Colt 1911.  It comes standard with a 7 round mag and virtually nobody puts more than that in them.  Why?  Because they are meant to be holstered and large mags that stick past the bottom of the butt of the gun will just make you look gay and stupid.  So this rule had nothing to do with the recent incident which is being used to justify the new rule.
• the governor wants to limit gun purchases to once per month.
• The shooter bought the two guns in question 2 years apart.  Again, the punishments, which are not being applied to the shooter but only to everyone who did NOT shoot, do not match the crime and WILL NOT stop the next one from happening.
•   the new control grab requires people to report stolen guns within 24 hours
• These guns were not stolen and the man was within his legal rights to possess them.
•  the new corrupt law also provides for red flag laws "to keep guns away from people who are a clear danger to themselves and others".
• The shooter showed no outward signs that he was going to snap.  He apparently resigned from the job under his own impetus, had no track record of bad or violent behavior, etc.  So again, another rule right out of the liberal handbook is used to beat the people up with even though the new rule has no tie to or justification by the facts of the current case.

And so here is my take.  This idiot liberal demo governor has lost sight of the fact that all things liberal are on the decline.  It used to be that people listened to this drivel, or at the very least didn't speak up against it.  But we are past that now.  People are starting to figure out that when the shit hits the fan and seconds count, cops are minutes away, even the best of them cannot save you.  And so you have to start protecting yourself.  And you cannot do that if some closet queer governor with nothing but political power in mind makes it illegal for you to own the guns and carry them where they need to be carried to be useful to you in daily life.

Also, if you start a knife fight with someone you better be able to finish it because you might be the one who gets hurt.  Translating that to politics, be careful what you try to get away with because if it fails then it doesn't just fail for you; it weakens your entire political party.  And that is what I predict will happen this time.  Ralph Northam is going to take a political beating on this one IMO.  He's just playing this card too late in the game.  The Trump card has already been played.
