State's police chiefs seek veto of guns-in-bars bill

Calling guns in bars a "recipe for disaster," the state's police chiefs have pleaded with Gov. Bob McDonnell to veto legislation that would ease Virginia's concealed weapon laws.

Virginia Beach police Chief Jake Jacocks Jr. sent a letter to McDonnell last week on behalf of the state association of chiefs comparing the combination of firearms and alcohol with drinking and driving.

"We can fully expect that at some point in the future a disagreement that today would likely end up in a verbal confrontation, or a bar fight, will inevitably end with gunfire if you sign this legislation into law," Jacocks wrote.

So even the chief of police in Virginia Beach is an anti-liberty scumbag. Great.

Council of Governors Takes Shape

As I have already written, the creation of a CG should be of serious concern to all liberty loving Americans. That more of us are not as concerned as we should be can be traced to the mistaken belief that the American people have nothing to fear from an overreaching federal government. This is pure folly! As I have said many times, we have far more to fear from Washington, D.C., than from Iran, Iraq, North Korea, or any other potential terrorist state. It is Washington, D.C.,--and Washington, D.C., alone--that has the power, opportunity, and propensity to squash our freedom and sell us into tyranny.

Admittedly I know very little about the process or purpose behind this "Council" so I have only to pray that Mr. McDonnell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, takes this opportunity to tell the Marxist-in-Chief what he can do with his health bills, his budgets, his industry and banking takeovers and his smarmy, apologist, self-righteous demeanor.

If your Governor is on the "list" I encourage you to contact them and, rather than demand that they decline to participate, that they scream from their seat on the council that the people of these several states have had quite enough of Washington's tyranny.
