Virginia gov. chants 'enough is enough!' as lawmakers gather

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia's governor led gun-control supporters in chants of "enough is enough!" outside the Capitol Tuesday after summoning legislators to debate and vote on new gun laws.

Gov. Ralph Northam ordered lawmakers back for a special session to consider a wide range of gun-control measures, said people need "votes and laws, not thoughts and prayers" after a Virginia Beach employee shot and killed a dozen people in a city building on May 31.

looks like state governors are waging war on right wing authoritarians across the country


Pennsylvania's governor just stopped the latest Republican voter suppression scheme


The veto by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf came at the cost of $90 million for needed upgrades to the state's voting machines.



Pennsylvania’s Gov. Tom Wolf stopped Republicans from sneaking a long desired voter suppression measure into a bill that would have funded needed upgrades to the state’s vulnerable voting machines.

Wolf vetoed Senate Bill 48, which would have eliminated straight-party ticket voting, which allows people to cast a vote for all Democratic or Republican candidates listed on the ballot at the same time, rather than having to check off each individual candidate. That measure was part of a package that would have also provided $90 million in funds for counties to replace electronic voting machines that are susceptible to hacking with voter-marked paper ballots.

The second term Democratic governor on Friday vetoed the bill that passed along party lines by the Republican-controlled legislature, which is in power thanks in part to political gerrymandering.

Democrats say that rolling back straight-party ticket voting would create longer wait lines and confusion at the polls, affecting under-resourced polling locations in minority populated areas.

“The bill weakens the ability of the commonwealth and counties to quickly respond to security needs of voting systems in the future, creating unnecessary bureaucracy and potentially harmful delays,” Wolf said in a statement.

“Further, as we approach an election with anticipated large turnout and new voting technology, I’m concerned the isolated removal of a convenient voting option would increase waiting times and could discourage participation.”


The bill is part of a larger national Republican strategy to impose laws and restrictions such as voter ID legislation, that prevent Black and Latinx Americans from voting for Democratic candidates.

the republican party has been caught and punished by the US courts for cheating people out of their rights to vote so they can STEAL the power from the people



DECADES of cold hard court records to prove it



The NRA is nit what it used to be

they have been kneecapped by our laws this go round


Putin will have to find some other republican group to funnel his money to the republicans


so no one fears the NRA anymore

Sounds to me those afraid on inanimate objects lack balls.

Anytime you're man enough to try and take away anyone's guns, step up.

What's authoritarian about exercising your 2nd amendment rights, boy?

Seems you lack the same set of balls these governors you support lack. In other words, you've been neutered.

here ya go shitbird......Today signifies 22 years since the Oklahoma City bombing, an attack carried out by Timothy McVeigh that left 168 dead. McVeigh sympathized with armed right-wing militia groups, which at the time, were surging in membership. But armed militias have long been active on the fringes of American society and continue to rise today.

Ralph Northam? You mean the guy who thinks it's ok to kill a baby after it's been born? That guy??? Does he realize how much harder it is to kill an armed adult than a helpless newborn?
