Tim Kaine: Ban
15-Round ‘Clips,’ Hold Gun Dealers Liable for Misuse of Firearms
by AWR Hawkins 22 Jul 2016
On July 22 Hillary Clinton
announced Tim Kaine as her running
mate. Kaine is a Democrat Senator from Virginia
who supports a ban on 15-round “clips” and “assault weapons,” and who wants to
enact a law to hold gun dealers liable for the misuse of firearms.
During the June 26 airing of Meet the Press, Kaine told Chuck Todd
that he voted for an “assault weapons” ban before and “would likely vote
for it again.” But he stressed that he believes “limitations on the size of
magazines and ammunition clips” is the first step to take.
Todd asked Kaine if he believes the sale of AR-15 rifles ought to be illegal, and Kaine offered no
direct answer, Instead, he suggested the problem with banning certain rifles is
that the ban can be circumvented. Kaine said:
Here’s the thing, I have voted for [the assault weapons
ban], and I would likely vote for it again, but here’s the practical problem I
think you’re aware of. As soon as you define what an assault weapon is–that you
can’t sell a weapon and here’s how to describe it–gun manufacturers just make one adjustment or two and they say,
“See, this isn’t subject to the limitation.”
On September 8, 2015–just two weeks after Vester Lee
Flanagan used a legally purchased firearm to kill news reporter Alison Parker
on-air–Kaine put forward a bill to hold licensed gun dealers liable for the
misuse of firearms. The bill was designed to “raise the bar” and require more
“accountability” on the part of gun sellers. The
Roanoke Times reported that Kaine’s bill “would
make gun sellers criminally liable for a bad sale if they didn’t take
reasonable, affirmative steps to determine the customer met federal criteria.”
Consider the scenario–Flanagan passed a federal
background check for his gun.
He passed the very same check that Hillary Clinton, Gabby Giffords,
and others assure us will reduce crime and/or make us safer. But after passing
the check and acquiring the gun, Flanagan carried out an evil deed. Background
checks will never stop a latent criminal from getting a gun; they only stop
actual criminals.
Yet even though the law was followed regarding Flanagan–a
federal background check completed and passed–Kaine’s response was to push
for more liability on the licensed gun dealer. In other words, he wants the
gun dealer held responsible for what a buyer does after exiting the store with
a firearm the FBI allowed him to purchase.
This is Hillary Clinton’s running mate.
