A murderer took the lives of a TV reporter and cameraman in Virginia this morning, as they were broadcasting a story.
VA Governor Terry McAuliffe immediately went on the air and called for increased restrictions on people who obey laws. They included background checks and other measures. McAuliffe didn't know the name of the murderer when he made this pronouncement, and had no idea whether a background check would have affected the murderer's actions.
In further comments, McAuliffe insisted that "There are some people who shouldn't own a gun", implying that government should restrict gun ownership, a flat violation of the 2nd amendment.
A number of people were also killed in automobile accidents in Virginia this year, but McAuliffe has yet to call for increased restrictions on law-abiding drivers, or declare that some people simply should not own cars.
