GOP Delegate Goes Nuclear on Dems Turning Everyday Hunters into Criminals Overnight [WATCH]

During debate over proposed firearms legislation in Virginia, Delegate Tom Garrett sharply criticized the measure, arguing that the bill would create broad restrictions on firearm possession and could effectively criminalize many lawful gun owners across the state.

Garrett made his remarks on the House floor while addressing fellow lawmakers about the scope of the proposal and its potential impact on residents who own firearms for recreation, hunting, or personal use.

According to Garrett, the language contained in the bill raised serious questions about its practicality and enforceability.

“I literally, Mr. Speaker, wondered if we were being pranked when I read the words in this bill,” Garrett said.

Garrett described provisions in the legislation that he said would restrict where individuals could carry firearms in public spaces.

“You see, this bill would prevent people in Virginia from carrying on any quote, any public street, highway, Alley, et cetera, on or about his person,” Garrett said.

To illustrate his concerns, Garrett referenced a comparison involving overlapping groups of Virginia residents.

He described the concept using the idea of a Venn diagram to explain how different categories of individuals could be affected by the proposed restrictions.

“So Mr. Speaker, the presidential nominee that carried those localities was fond of Venn diagrams in my district,” Garrett said.

“In my district we have these things just for people in Nova called pickup trucks.”

Garrett said many residents in other parts of Virginia commonly own pickup trucks, firearms, or both, and may also use those firearms for recreational shooting or hunting.

“This is a circle representing people in rest of Virginia who own pickup trucks,” Garrett said.

“Now this is a circle representing the people in the rest of Virginia who own pickup trucks who also own firearms.”

Garrett continued by describing a third overlapping group that includes people who participate in recreational shooting or hunting.

“And I just want to add a circle representing the people in the rest of Virginia who own pickup trucks firearms and like to shoot recreationally or hunt,” Garrett said.
