ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR PLUTOCRAT POLITICS: Bloomberg’s AR-15 Ban Rejected in Virginia. “It was supposed to be the best state government money could buy, bought and paid for by Mike Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety for the purpose of overturning the Second Amendment’s right to keep and bear arms in Patrick Henry’s Virginia. Bloomberg overwhelmed the NRA in spending during the Virginia state election campaign. Yet despite early success in Bloomberg’s Virginia House, the Virginia Senate stood fast for the Second Amendment as the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-5 to reject House Bill 961 on February 17th. The bill is dead for this legislative session. As the Washington Times noted, it was a huge defeat for Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam.” Bloomberg had money. The NRA only had supporters.
