Governor McDonnell Stands with Freedom When Questioned on Navy Yard Shooting

Governor McDonnell has been a true friend to supporters of the Second Amendment during his time as Governor and in the aftermath of the Navy Yard murders, he continues to stand firm. This from the Tampa Tribune:

"I've yet to see any conclusive data that suggests that a waiting period would work. We have an instant background check in Virginia. We are one of the first states to have that some 20 years or so ago," the pro-gun Republican governor said on Tuesday morning's program.

The Tribune article noted that even though the Navy Yard killer had numerous mental health issues, he passed a background check. What the Tribune did not mention was he had never been adjudicated as mentally disturbed.

Thanks Governor McDonnell for standing with law abiding gun owners.
