if you ever had suspicions of the mental capacity of the democrats, here is a large bit of evidence;

 

 In a legislative sprint that reads more like a Democrat's political wish list than a serious crime-fighting strategy, Virginia Democrats have rammed through 25-gun control measures, including a ban on so-called "assault weapons" and restrictions on ammunition magazines. The package, now awaiting the signature of Gov. Abigail Spanberger, represents years of Democratic virtue signaling, often vetoed by Republican leadership. Yet beneath the triumph of today's gun control advocates lies a glaring omission: Despite Democrat's best attempts to take guns off the streets, Americans are having an honest reckoning with the social, psychiatric, pharmaceutical, and cultural fractures that actually drive violent crime.

Key points:

• Virginia Democrats passed 25 gun control bills, including an assault weapons ban and magazine capacity limits of 15 rounds, after securing a governing trifecta with the election of Gov. Abigail Spanberger.
• The “assault weapons” ban misrepresents semiautomatic rifles such as the AR-15, which are among the most commonly owned firearms in the United States and are used for hunting, sport shooting, and property protection.
• Gun rights groups, including the National Rifle Association and the Virginia Citizens Defense League, are mobilizing to challenge the measures in court, citing Supreme Court precedent protecting firearms in common use.
• Lawmakers bypassed deeper scrutiny by redistributing sponsorship of bills and consulting with police and the military to carve out exemptions, ensuring the laws would not inconvenience those who enforce them.
• No substantive legislation was advanced to address root causes of violence, including family breakdown, mental health system failures, or the prosecution of criminal offenders who use stolen weapons...........more.........
