Good. Won't go anywhere but this hypocrite doesn't want your average citizen to protect themselves while he has a flock of protection. Just like the president.

Va. lawmaker wants to defund Gov. McAuliffe's armed guards over gun dispute

By Adam Shaw · Published December 29, 2015

A Virginia state senator has thrown down the gauntlet with Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe in a brewing battle over gun rights -- pushing to defund the governor’s armed bodyguards unless he revokes an order that banned firearms in most state buildings.

“It’s easy for someone who is surrounded by armed state policemen to tell someone else they can’t carry a weapon to protect themselves,” Republican state Sen. Charles W. Carrico Sr. told FoxNews.com.

“It’s just equal treatment, that’s all I’m saying.”

McAuliffe signed Executive Order 50 in October that says “open carry of firearms shall be prohibited in offices occupied by executive branch agencies, unless held by law enforcement, authorized security, or military personnel authorized to carry firearms in accordance with their duties.” He also called for new regulations to extend that to concealed weapons.

I'd go further. Defund his security detail and make it plain that hiring armed security on his own dime will be considered a violation of the intent of the decision making him subject to removal from office or prosecution.

No guns for politicians anywhere. No guns within 1000 yards of any politician. Or in their private aircraft or limousine. They're just too dangerous. Run for political office - surrender ALL of your rights. DEMOCRACY!
