At least Virginia is standing thier ground. They voted to kill the bill this guy proposed.

Wait a minute......... You can now take guns into the capitol building???

No?!

Now I'm really confused.

Obviously its not loaded, but anyone notice it looks like he is holding it by the trigger? Maybe he should promote some gun safety...? I imagine the gun was brought in by some agency for their little presentation, so that makes it ok.

Edit: I guess after reading the comments, others did notice the thumb on trigger.

That was my original thought. This "lawmaker" broke a "law" to get [STRIKE]a point[/STRIKE] his point across. I thought all State Houses were off limits.

Yes.....
IF you're a member of the Elite Ruling Class you are exempt from the Laws that we mere serfs and vassals must adhere to.

Everyone knows you can't fire a gun with your thumb. Sheesh you gotta use your trigger finger.

Oh great....
Now some idiot Democrat in Congress will read that and try to have our trigger fingers removed.
The Constitution gives us the Right To Bear Arms.
Not fingers.

Silly people...laws don't apply to US politicians....

Oh, he broke the law? Maybe we should send David Gregory to investigate.

 

[Bromiun]

his thumb was there to prevent the gun from killing people in it's own, kinda like a choke hold on a vicious killer.

What a dumbass.

This was the Virginia State House. He informed police and security of what he was going to do, and was allowed in.

The funnier bit is the point of order from one of the republicans "Point of Order! Would the gentleman please remove his finger from the trigger guard?"

Thumb on the trigger? The barrel wasn't by chance in his mouth was it?

Trying to figure out when a MAK-90 became an "AK-47" since Bush the First made sure MAK-90s aren't evil.

Is he willing to ship to my FFL? What's he asking?

"A lot of people don't know that in many locations in the commonwealth, you can take this gun, you can walk in the middle of Main Street loaded and not be in violation of the law," Morrissey said on the floor...

What a joke.

Why don't they just laugh these guys right out of the building?

The Dems, being the shallow creatures that they are, still, to this day, judge by looks instead of actions.
Like how they judged Black People when they enacted the Jim Crow Laws in the South after The Civil War.

Probably around the same time a Pmag became a "hi cap clip"

In 1989 they did the same thing in Sacramento, California.
