Walter E. Williams Warns Virginia About Gov. Ralph Northam’s Gun Registry Plan



Columnist and George Mason economics Professor Walter E. Williams is warning Virginia residents about Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D) gun registry plan.

Northam has been pushing an all-out ban on AR-15s and similar rifles for some time, but he recently changed the scope of the ban in the face of the growing Second Amendment Sanctuary movement.

  1. Northam is owned lock, stock and barrel by the democRATs. They got his number with that picture. One day he's apologizing for it, then the very next day he's denying it saying "Nope, that's not me".
    Looks suspiciously like a democRAT called him and said “Look Ralphie, it’d be a shame if you lost everything wouldn’t it?
    Listen up, we gotcher back if you deny it and play ball with us”
    "I understand"
    "Thaaaaaaaaat’s the ticket Ralphie baby! Now abide by our Communist manifesto!”

  2. Keep in mind, if you purchased your firearm since the Clinton ban, it is already registered
