The Peoples House..The finest argument I've ever heard in the General Assembly

peter nap · Jan 29, 2011

Thursday night while watching VCDL push their agenda, I was privileged to watch Delegate Todd Gilbert, put those that have forgotten who they work for, slam dunk in their place.

Having been born in Shenandoah, I'm glad to see folks there still know how to pick their representatives.

Hopefully, this video gets around!

I liked how the first guy tried to sell it by stating a few times how the members could still carry....."THE ONLY ONES" If it's not allowed by the people they represent then it shouldn't be allowed by the legislators.

Section 4. No exclusive emoluments or privileges; offices not to be hereditary.

That no man, or set of men, is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community , but in consideration of public services; which not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator, or judge to be hereditary.

I really liked how he said, We can't legislate away every possible bad thing that could happen. Pretty close to quote...Not exact...

I wish that someone in that room had asked this question:

"If disarming law abiding citizens in this building will render it safe from attack, then why would the Members have the need to carry a firearm?"

I don't remember if it was during or after that Philip mentioned the only AD/ND that had ever happened there was by a General Assembly Member.:lol:

I have the entire Sub Committee session on Video, I just haven't gone through it all yet.

we are not equal, we will never be equal, but we must be relentless.

I was moved to write Mr. Gilbert a thank you note. Although, I did mention that I was not a constituent of his I did appreciate his commentary.

I am curious as to the outcome. What did the subcommittee do? Is the bill advancing? Will it pass?
