Reading between the lines, this pretty much shows that all the gun grabber bills won’t do anything to stop crime, and no one wanted to put their signature behind gun grabbing bills
A state commission spent months reviewing Virginia’s gun laws. It came up with no recommendations.
Citing “inconclusive evidence,†a state group tasked with studying gun policy says it can’t give any recommendations on what to do with the 78 bills it received.
In a three-page report released Tuesday, the Virginia State Crime Commission staff outlined its review of the legislation filed during the July special session on gun control called by Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, following the Virginia Beach mass shooting.
“While staff researched a wide variety of policies and many other matters related to gun violence, the overall findings from the research were often insufficient, mixed, contradictory, or based on limited methodology,†staff wrote.
Review of the legislation fell into the commission’s hands after Republicans ended the special session without voting on any bills.
“We are confident that, under your leadership, the Crime Commission will be able to better understand what steps Virginia might take to keep our communities safe without the distraction of partisan politics,†Speaker of the House Kirk Cox and Sen. Tommy Norment wrote to the chairman and vice chairman of the commission in July when they asked for the review.
Well, the commission was unable to put themselves behind any of those 78 bills. If the idea was to reduce crime, didn’t seem to work. But, then, we know most of the bills offered up end up punishing the law abiding, rather than actual criminals. Because Democrats are afraid to go after their constituents who are criminals. Or is it that they just like the criminals, much like we see in places like San Francisco? Regardless, Democrats are about gun grabbing, not stopping crime. Hence, the commission tried to sugar coat their conclusions.
