Whitmer’s Lousy Polling, Inflation Worst in 40 Years, Biden’s Ugly Race Card

January 12, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Whitmer’s Lousy Polling, Inflation Worst in 40 Years, Biden’s Ugly Race Card” on Spreaker.

After a brief discussion about outgoing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam commenting on his blackface yearbook photo, Jim & Greg welcome polls showing just 40 percent of Michigan voters are ready to re-elect Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. They also grimace as year-on-year inflation is the worst in almost 40 years. And they hammer President Biden for saying anyone not supporting the Dems’ plan on elections reform is the equivalent of George Wallace, Bull Connor, and Jefferson Davis.

Redistricting Favors GOP, Cuomo Dodges Prosecution, Northam’s Snow Job

January 4, 2022 by GregC

Listen to “Redistricting Favors GOP, Cuomo Dodges Prosecution, Northam’s Snow Job” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they welcome evaluations showing the GOP likely to gain seats – and a House majority – thanks to redistricting. They also frown as former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo won’t face any charges for his COVID nursing home cover-up or his harassment of women. And they shudder at the 24-hour-plus nightmare for travelers on I-95 in Virginia, wondering why Gov. Ralph Northam didn’t take decisive action sooner and why so many people are blaming Glenn Youngkin, who won’t be governor until next week.

Why Virginia’s New Gun Control Laws Make Citizens Less Safe?

April 15, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Why Virginia’s New Gun Control Laws Make Citizens Less Safe?” on Spreaker.

On Friday, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam signed several gun control bills into law, and while he did not get his prized “assault weapons” ban, gun rights groups say second amendment rights in the commonwealth are greatly weakened by these new laws.

The new legislation requires universal background checks, limits citizens to one firearm purchase per month, established “red flag” laws allowing police to take firearms away from people alleged to be a threat to themselves or others, and gives localities the freedom to establish gun-free zones.

John Crump is Virginia State Director at Gun Owners of America.  In this podcast, he explains which of the new laws bother him the most, why universal background checks give the government information he believes they have no business having, and why he fears red flag laws will be highly abused to deny people their constitutional rights.

Great Pro-Gun Protest, Hillary Slams Bernie, Impeachment Rules Fight

January 21, 2020 by GregC

Listen to “Great Pro-Gun Protest, Hillary Slams Bernie, Impeachment Rules Fight” on Spreaker.

Grab a stool and have some martinis with us! Today, Jim and Greg applaud the powerful and peaceful protest for second amendment rights in Richmond and wonder if Gov. Northam’s fears of chaos were way overblown to try to portray responsible gun owners as extremists.  They also get a kick out of Hillary Clinton attacking Bernie Sanders and marvel that this may be one of those rare instances where she appears to be telling the truth. And they roll their eyes as Washington becomes transfixed on a debate over the rules for the Senate impeachment trial.

Virginia Dems Ready Major Gun Control Effort

November 8, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Virginia Dems Ready Major Gun Control Effort” on Spreaker.

On Tuesday, Democrats won the majority in both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly.  Come January, gun control will be at the top of the agenda for Gov. Ralph Northam and his allies in the legislature.

This past summer, Northam called a special session to address gun legislation.  The Republican majority promptly adjourned the session.  Now with control of both the State Senate and the House of Delegates, Northam is making his agenda known.

According to the Washington Post, Northam held a cabinet meeting Wednesday and publicly laid out his gun control agenda.  He “mentioned universal background checks, banning the sale of [semi-automatic firearms] and high-capacity magazines, restoring the law that limits purchases to one gun a month, and a red flag law that would empower a court to temporarily remove a gun from a person deemed to be a risk to himself or others.”

Northam also admitted he was seriously examining how to confiscate firearms already legally owned by Virginians but would be banned under his proposed legislation.

But what exactly does Northam mean by an “assault weapon.”  Gun Owners of America Legislative Counsel Mike Hammond says Northam appears to have a broad swath of weapons in mind for his ban.

“As far as I can tell, it’s basically all semi-automatics that have one or no features that make them look like actual automatic firearms. The term assault weapon is sort of a fraudulent term invented by the left in order to make regular rifles and handguns more dangerous or more exceptional than they in fact are,” said Hammond.

And what does Hammond think about Northam’s confiscation plans?

“Oh, I hope he goes that route because, as (former Democratic presidential candidate) Beto O’Rourke found out, when you talk about raiding someone’s house in the middle of the night through these red flag gun confiscation laws and seizing their semi-automatic rifles, then at that point I think firearms owners in Virginia will finally wake up and there will be a red wave during the next gubernatorial election,” said Hammond.

Listen to the full podcast as Hammond explains why any component of Northam’s agenda would be an unacceptable infringement on the Second Amendment and why he thinks it’s possible to defeat the gun control agenda in the Virginia legislature even with Democrats in charge.

Virginia Gun Battle Begins

July 8, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Virginia Gun Battle Begins” on Spreaker.

On July 9, the Virginia General Assembly will enter into a special session ordered by Gov. Ralph Northam to address gun violence.

Northam is specifically asking the Republican-led legislature to enact universal background checks, a ban on “assault weapons,” reinstating Virginia’s one gun per month law and more.

But Republicans are planning a much different approach. Del. Nick Freitas is a member of the Militia, Police and Public Safety Committee, which will review every piece of legislation in this special session.

Listen to the podcast to hear Freitas explain why he believes public safety and civil liberties ought to be the top priorities for lawmakers, why he thinks Northam’s proposals are more about politics than saving lives, why he expects the narrow GOP majorities to hold together on the Second Amendment, and what he makes of poll numbers showing strong support for some of the Northam agenda.

Listen to “AMA Rejects Single-Payer, Tax Jeopardy, Shameless Virginia Dems” on Spreaker.

They’re also disgusted as prolific “Jeopardy!” winner James Holzhauer faces a massive tax hit courtesy of the state of California.

Ralph Northam and his campaign money again.

Northam & Guns: Sound Policy or Political Posturing?

June 6, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “Northam & Guns: Sound Policy or Political Posturing?” on Spreaker.

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is calling a special session to push new gun laws in the wake of last week’s deadly mass shooting in Virginia Beach, but a pro-second amendment lawmaker sees Northam’s move more as an attempt to burnish his own image than to seriously address incidents of deadly violence.

Earlier in the week, Northam called for seven specific items to be enacted, including universal background checks; a ban on assault weapons, bump stocks, and suppressors; an extreme risk protective order; re-instating of the one-gun-a-month law; requiring people to report lost or stolen firearms; and expanding local authority to regulate firearms – including in government buildings.

Northam’s call comes just days after a disgruntled former municipal employee in Virginia Beach killed 12 people and wounded at least six others before being killed by police.

But GOP Delegate Nick Freitas does not believe Northam is approaching the issue with sincerity.  Instead, Freitas thinks the governor is trying to improve his standing among voters following his notorious medical school yearbook scandal, in which a photo of one person in blackface and another in KKK garb appeared on Northam’s personal page.

“Ever since his blackface and KKK robe scandal, everything he has done has been about trying to rejuvenate his political career.  When it interferes in sound public policy, that’s a real problem,” said Freitas.

The Virginia Beach murderer legally purchased the handguns he used to shoot people in a government building, leading Freitas and other Northam critics wonder how Northam’s policy demands would have made any difference in that horrific attack.

To the contrary, Freitas says Northam’s agenda would Virginia citizens less safe.

“The whole reason why, in the United States, we value the individual’s right to be able to protect themselves and if necessary to have a firearm to do so.  It’s because it actually makes a weaker person able to defend themselves from a stronger attacker.

“Every single one of these provisions they’re now pushing out creates an environment where a law-abiding citizen is going to be put at a disadvantage to somebody that is not obeying the law,” said Freitas.

Freitas says the narrow Republican majorities in the General Assembly will examine ways to make Virginians safer but that will not include the Northam agenda.

“We’re going to use this as an opportunity to actually look at all of the data points – all of the information coming in surrounding this shooting – and figure out a way that we can actually make people safer.  But we’re certainly not going to succumb to this knee-jerk reaction by the governor to politicize a tragic event in order to rehabilitate his political career,” said Freitas.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Freitas discuss whether there can ever be common ground on this issue and where Virginia Republicans can take action to increase safety for people in the commonwealth.
