Gun Supporting VA GOP Gov Fails to Condemn Gun Riders but "Supports Budget Autonomy" [View all]

More double talk this time from the political right regarding guns and budget autonomy in DC. What the heck is autonomy if every Tom, Dick and Harry (and a few on this board) have more rights to make gun laws than those being governed as is the case in DC.

From Today's Washington Post Editorial Page

How can there ever be a Second Amendment if you have no right to participate in a Government to change or affirm that Amendment, any Amendment, or any law? That's not freedom; that's tyranny.
