Gov. McAuliffe on Virginia Shooting: 'There Are Too Many Guns on the Street'
(CNSNews.com) -- Commenting on today's shooting in Alexandria, Va., in which at least one congressman and one aide were shot, Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe said "we need to do more to protect" people, and added that there are "too many guns on the street."

McAuliffe also talked about "background checks" and "shutting down gun-show loopholes" but added that this was "not for today's discussion."

At the scene in Del Ray, a neighborhood in Alexandria, a reporter asked, "Governor, in general, do you think any more needs to be done to protect politicians?"
Gov. McAuliffe said, "Well, let me say this: I think we need to do more to protect all of our citizens. I have long advocated -- this is not what today is about -- but there are too many guns on the street."

"We lose 93 million [sic, 93 individual] Americans a day to gun violence," said the governor.

"I've long talked about this: background checks, shutting down gun-show loopholes," he said. "That's not for today's discussion. It's not just about politicians. We are about this every day for all of our citizens."

Well, let's see, 330 million or so Americans, and 12 million illegals.

So in, less than 4 days, everybody in the country will be dead.

And that's why, after hiking this afternoon, I had low-fat frozen yogurt with hot fudge at the ice cream stand.
