as you can see here with nra lobbyist mary ann deamer peering down his neck as he signed it. two other states have laws similar to familiar and the nra wants a flal law to force this on states around the country that don t want it. that s the way gun politics works, all the i think whats of law go in the same direction. all the changes in law go towards more guns in more places and more legal excuses for shooting people. and once one state stakes out what used to be radical ground in terms of clearing the way for more guns and legal excuses for shooting, once one state clear that is ground like florida in 2005, as soon as one state goes there, all the other states rush toward the newly-cleared ground. i was one of the people that thought after tucson, we could have one tiny little tick toward regulating just the size of the magazines for ammunition in the handguns. as a tiny correction for a nation that was legit gnatly
mandated unfunded mandates and asked him what the difference was with this, and he was very comfortable with this pointing out the government passes rules, laws, regulations that impose a fee or a cost to taxpayers and that this was no different. the democrats tried once before to get this funding measure through. it wasn t successful. we ll see how it goes next week. in terms of the governor s responses to you pressing him, we played a bunch of tape of you talking about it because you seem to draw him out on this issue than a lot of other people have been able to. obviously, he wants to downplay the social issues on his agenda, but when he gets asked about it by people like yo who press him on it, he doesn t go very far in advocated for this stuff that he believes in. he did sponsor or co-sponsor 35 anti-abortion bills. he did sign this into law and said he would support it.
a mini-bump. a one-point bump. he still loses to barack obama, not by eight points but by seven points. even bob mcdonnell is down in the polls. his approval rating has dropped. the pollsters looking for an explaination for governor mcdonnell s approval rating dropped turning to two bills. the forced ultrasound bill and the bill repealing the one handgun a month, anti-gun running law. virginia voters preferred the old gun law. the one-month limit on handguns over the repeal signed. they also found that the state is not happy with the law that gave bob mcdonnell the nickname governor ultrasound. virginia voters disapprove of the new ultrasound law by an 11-point margin. for his part, bob mcdonnell is
shocked by the horror of tucson. i thought that would happen after tucson. gun law changes only go in one direction. the florida state senate president says now in the midst of the national uproar over the trayvon martin shooting and florida s gun law says the shooter can t be arrested, he says the florida senate will not be reviewing the law. usually on policy issues like this we say, what would it take? what would it take to make us look at this issue differently? what would it take to shock us out of a pattern that we are in? what would it take to swing the pendulum back now that it has swung so radically in one direction? what would it take? we have an answer, it doesn t matter, anything could happen, it doesn t matter. no matter what happens in the country in terms of gun violence or how we feel about it, there s no outcry enough, no shock or horror that is too grave. we do not get to make these decisions about our laws in this country. we do not get to make these decisions about
responsibility for what they did at the federal level and the state level. they are trying to get themselves off this hook. i would too, if i were them. the jeffs of the world and the loris of the world are trying to get american families off of that hook first, and they might win in this. it s a big deal. i have twins, 21 years old. each kid has their own path. they grow up, and they re out having their life. i really started to talk to them about the things that are important that they have to take ownership over. my name s colleen stiles, and my kids and i did our wills on legalzoom.
