I'm ok with taking this guy's gun away

Joseph Morrissey, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, and an anti-gun dolt, brandished a borrowed AK-47 on the floor of the House on Thursday. His profile makes one wonder if he'd pass a background check.
But while Morrissey introduced a gun-control bill Thursday aimed at reducing criminal violence in Virginia, he has a history that involves physical violence of another kind.

Morrissey paid a man $500,000 in 2007 to settle a 2002 court judgment against him, related to a 1999 physical assault.

According to legal brief filed by the victim’s attorneys, Morrissey shouted, “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to beat your head in,” before beating the victim and “smash[ing] his head into the corner of a brick wall.”

The 2003 revocation of Morrissey’s law license followed that courtroom reckoning, but by then his disciplinary record in the legal profession was already a lengthy one.
Read on! It looks like this d-bag wants to ban guns because he's afraid a law-abiding citizen might one day legally use one on him.

"You lookin' at me? You lookin' at me?


Update: Good lord! This clown even has an Australian connection.

Travelling snake-oil salesman. In a former age he'd be collecting money for a town brass band then shooting through to the next town when he's milked it enough.

I'll give that post 76 Trombones. It had a nice beat and was easy to dance to.

Stacy had a thing or two to say about this shyster, Paco.

Shakespeare was right.

Shakespeare was right on more things than you can shake-a-speare at.

Can't believe this loon represents a district that includes my old county (Henrico).

Hey, maybe he had a psychotic episode and thought he was Yasser Arafat.

Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert interrupted Morrissey’s speech to ask him to remove his finger from inside the gun’s trigger-guard...

Bravo, Delegate Gilbert, for taking the wind out of the sails of that bloviating mountebank.

How did he get that AK-47 into the House of Delegates? Don't they have metal detectors and guards?

Alternatively, how did he get into the House of Delegates?

Rebecca: I regret to report that, whatever the problem with the state's metal detectors, its moron detectors have been out of whack for years.

Here in California, they apparently use moron detectors to weed out anyone with common sense.
