Comment Period | Ended on 10/21/2016 |
Please accept this message as my strong support of Governor McAuliffe's executive order # 50, banning firearms in executive branch agency offices. Guns do not belong in state-owned or rented facilities. Our legislators need to take appropriate action to avoid anything similar to the murders of journalists Alison Parker and Adam Ward on live television. Our legislators need to do everything possible to avoid anything similar to the VaTech murders. Our legislators need to take steps to avoid another "Orlando", another "San Bernardino", another "Dallas", another "Charleston", another "Newtown" or "Columbine". Our legislators are failing miserably at protecting our life and liberty. I am disheartened, discouraged, and disappointed in the direction of our country. Change needs to start at home. It needs to start with leading-by-example. Thank you for setting a positive example and a promising direction for the safety of our children and our country.
